Replacing Multiple Cell Values

I have a column with various prices and blank cells, I want to replace all the different $ amounts to a 'rebate' text and then all the blank cells to 'no rebate' text. I could indiviudal search the $ amounts but there thousands of lines that could all be different so searching for a soluation that will avoid having to generate a list of all the unique values. Ex. If blank replace to 'no rebate', if not replace to 'rebate'?

 

Thanks,

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtIztrRUitWJVlIAk4amYMrUQM8QSRRCGuiBlMYCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Original = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Original", type number}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",each [Original],each if [Original]=null then "No Rebate" else "Rebate",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Original"})
in
    #"Replaced Value"

yes, Table.ReplaceValues() has a lot of interesting features, including that one.
