1) Change your second each argument to each [Historic Date] 

2) Change Replacer.ReplaceValue with (orig, dateVal, histVal) => if dateVal <> histVal then orig else null

3) This will mess up your column types so change them back to normal.

Hello, @pkee 

    other_columns = List.RemoveItems(Table.ColumnNames(your_table), {"Date", "Historic Date"}),
    blanks = Record.FromList(List.Repeat({null}, List.Count(other_columns)), other_columns),
    replacer = Table.FromRecords(
        Table.TransformRows(
            your_table,
            (x) => if x[Date] <> x[Historic Date] then Record.SelectFields(x, {"Date", "Historic Date"}) & blanks else x
        )
    )

Thanks

I am not sure here, can you send a small data sample?  It is working with examples I am using.

Do you get test for every thing if you do something like 

(orig, dateVal, histVal) => "test" instead?
