Conditionally Update Columns in Pivoted Data
Hi I've pivoted data and now want to update the values that are null to STANDARD but only where 'WorkType' = SHIFT regardless of the dates in the column headers as these will change. The data...
Hi BiscuitKen
= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Pivoted Column",null, each if [WorkType]="SHIFT" then "STANDARD" else null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,Table.ColumnNames(#"Pivoted Column"))

Hi BiscuitKen ,
How about replacing before pivot columns?
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("jZU7DoMwEETv4hop9hp/UhKhKGlSBJoIcf9rhCoKu4yZysJviqfRrlkWF1znpsfzPm+n+ItPF/HSbx9u7RQNTSp/dJqH1zi8R5uKVKpHKWnaStNWKFuhbIWyjcgWpwKVgvaRso+U/e/i9jlsW3HTt+JywuMJ7zVPVLuJajdR7SbUrqWw1UxZZ8o6U9YZWeMUtC+UfaHsC2VfKPtC2dfm61GRtaXQtlK2lbK9nuyf4sZYcbN/ipt5VtzsX/DUMOxjcBr2Mfwz8VTD+9hxxesX", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Employee Number" = _t, WorkType = _t, Attribute = _t, Value = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Employee Number", Int64.Type}}),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","",each if [WorkType] = "SHIFT" then "STANDARD" else null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Value"}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Replaced Value", List.Distinct(#"Replaced Value"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Value")
in
#"Pivoted Column"

Hi Anonymous
Thank you for your solution but I'm afraid it's not suitable for my senario. There are no null values to update prior to the pivot. The null values appear after the pivot as a row may not contain a value for all columns whereas other row my contain a value.
