Custom Replacer.ReplaceText

[Camper]

I have no idea why this is not working.  I am trying to add a custom holiday to my date table.

I get no error code. It acts like it has repaced the value but the cell is empty rather than XXXXXXX. When I sort the "Holiday" column desc the date 2021,4,2 is at the top.  It just has no data in it.

#"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Added Custom4",{{"Custom", Order.Descending}}),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Sorted Rows", each [Holiday], each if [Date] = #date(2021, 4, 2) then "XXXXXXXXXX" else [Holiday], Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Holiday"})
in
#"Replaced Value"

I am not sure why this worked because it appears to be the exact same thing as I was doing but it works.  Thank You Very Much

I am not sure why this worked because it appears to be the exact same thing as I was doing except it worked. Thank You So much

Oh OK!  In that case:

#"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Added Custom4",{{"Custom", Order.Descending}}),

#"Replaced Value" = Table.TransformColumn(#"Added Custom4", {{"Holiday", each if [Date] = #date(2021,4,2) then "XXXXXXXXXX" else [Holiday]}})

Try transforming the column--because keep in mind, if [Date] is type date, you can't replace it with the text "xxxxxxxx".  If it's a text column., you can't use #date(2021,4,2" as a comparison to the text.  Let's make it a text column so you can add the "XXXXXXXXXX".  

#"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Added Custom4",{{"Custom", Order.Descending}}),

Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Sorted Rows", {{"Date", type text}}),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.TransformColumn(#"Added Custom4", {{"Holiday", each if [Date] = "4/2/2021" then "XXXXXXXXXX" else [Date]}})

Thank you for your reply. The Date column is a date and the Holiday column is text.  I am not trying to change the values in the Date column I am trying to change the values in the Holiday column.
