Replacing values in one column with values from another table

Hi, Anonymous 

Check whether the above search column text contains invisible characters. The simple way to avoid this error is to copy and paste the column name.

refer:

Table.ReplaceValue

Table.ReplaceValue(table as table, oldValue as any, newValue as any, replacer as function, columnsToSearch as list) as table

Here is a solution I thought of, which may help you.

I encapsulated a function that replaces the value, which can be called on the column. This works for all columns.

Create a blank query, open Advanced Editor and replace the text there with the code below.  In your original query, you can then go to the Add Column tab, invoke custom function and choose this function and choose your "Old" column as the input.

(inputtext as text) =>
let 
Result = List.ReplaceMatchingItems(Table.ToList(Table.FromValue(Text.From(inputtext))), List.Zip({Amendments[Current], Amendments[Replace]}))
in 
Result{0}

Result:

Please refer to the attachment below for details. Hope this helps.
