change column value based on condition
Dear All,
I have a table that looks like this:
| Code | Value1 | Value2 |
| 0001 | 100 | 200 |
| 0002 | 50 | 500 |
0003 | 10 | 20 |
| 0004 | 150 | 300 |
I'd like a condition in Power Query for which:
- if row meets Code = 0003, then Value1 and Value2 must be divided for 12.
I do not want to generate other columns, just want to substitute values in Value1 and Value2.
Desired result:
| Code | Value1 | Value2 |
| 0001 | 100 | 200 |
| 0002 | 50 | 500 |
0003 | 0,833333 | 1,66666 |
| 0004 | 150 | 300 |
Thank you a lot
powerbricco add a replace value step and change it as shown below, do it for both value 1 and value 2
= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",each [Value1],each if [Code] = 3 then [Value1] / 12 else [Value1], Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Value1"})

May I ask you another advice?
Let's say I have a date column. Every time rows meet codes 001, 002, 003 and 0004, each Value1 should be replaced with month in date column. How can I write that?Thank you a lot..
powerbricco try this, change column name as per your table:
Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",each [Value],each if [Code] = 1 or [Code] = 2 or [Code] = 3 then Date.Month([Date]) else [Value],Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Value"})Hi powerbricco ,
