Generating a code to replace text with custom words in a column

[cleolee123]

Hi all,

I desperately need help in generating this code. My data is a survey excel sheet with about 10 questions each answer is a scale of 1 to 5 which stands for "very satisfied" to "very dissatisfied." However, when collecting data it only collects the numbers 1-5 but i want to generate reports that show the words "very satisfied" to "very dissatisfied". Is there a code that replaces all the "1" to "very satisfied" etc for all the questions at once since they use the same scale? Thanks in advance

Hi! First be sure that the columns are type text. Then you can just select all the columns you want to replace and right click one of them "Replace Values". That should ask you what to replace and with what. The code finally look like this:

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Last Step",1,"very satisfied",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Columna1", "ColumnN"})

Hope this helps.

Regards.
