Conditional replace apply to multiple columns in Power Query

Hi pros,

My input table looks like

DateSaleASaleBSaleCSaleD
01-Apr5000   
02-Apr 200030004000
03-Apr502.12203.45  
04-Apr-1000   
05-Apr  115.06 
06-Apr 111.11 117.54
07-Apr    
08-Apr25.82   

I need to clean all deposits which are multiple of 1000, e.g. 5000, -1000, 2000, 3000 etc. in the table.

Power Query 1 column conditional replacement works for me:

 

 

 

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",each [SaleA],each if Number.Mod([SaleA],1000)=0 then 0 else [SaleA],Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"SaleA"})

 

 

 

but I cannot do one-by-one for too many columns, they are almost whole table except the Date column.

Please help me with this situation in Power Query, thank you.

Thank you @ThxAlot for your clear instruction with this strange syntax.

I suggest a small change to retain the data type for the replaced columns:

(x,y,z)as nullable number => if Number.Mod(x,1000)=0 then 0 else x,

if Number.Mod([SaleA], 1000) = 0 then 0 else [SaleA]

 

 

To check if a value is divisible by 1000 and replace it with 0, you can use the modulo operation (Number.Mod) to determine if there's no remainder when dividing by 1000.

 

  • Click on Add Column in the ribbon and then select Custom Column.
  • In the Custom Column dialog, you can write a formula to handle the condition.
