Cannot assign a value with python in power query

Hello guys, 

 

I am working on a table in power query. As well, I am using python script from the transform tab. The problem I have occurs when I want to assign a value to a specific column and row in the dataset.

 

Here is an example:

nameday
max1
alfred2

 

If I want to change the values of the "day" column, I do this:

 

 

 

 

 

dataset.iloc[0]["day"] = 0
dataset.iloc[1]["day"] = 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Power Query execute the python script, the table didn't change.

Any help?

 

Thank you!!
