    Hello Anonymous 

     

    you can add a group-function and then with a Table.TransformColumns apply the necessary changes to the table.

    Here the complete solution

    let
    	Source = #table
    	(
    		{"A","B"},
    		{
    			{"1","0"},	{"1","0"},	{"1","1"},	{"1","0"},	{"1","0"},	{"1","0"},	{"2","1"},	{"2","0"},	{"2","0"},	{"3","0"},	{"3","0"},	{"3","0"},	{"3","0"},	{"3","1"},	
    			{"3","0"}
    		}
    	),
        Group = Table.Group(Source, {"A"}, {{"AllRowsB", each Table.SelectColumns(_, "B"), type table [A=text, B=text]}}),
    	AddColumn = Table.TransformColumns
    	(
    		Group,
    		{
    			{
    				"AllRowsB",
    				each Table.ReplaceValue(Table.FillDown( Table.AddColumn(_,"C",(row)=> if row[B] = "1" then "2" else null), {"C"}), null, "0", Replacer.ReplaceValue, {"C"})
    			}
    		}
    	),
        ExpandedAllRowsB = Table.ExpandTableColumn(AddColumn, "AllRowsB", {"B", "C"}, {"B", "C"})
    in
        ExpandedAllRowsB
