    Hi Anonymous ,

    Please check whether the data type of column [submitid] is text, or you can modify your formula like this:

     

    #"Replaced Value73" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value72",each[some_type], each if [submitid]="1234" then "Some other value" else "Some value" ,Replacer.ReplaceText,{"some_type"}),

     

    Addtionally, by my test, in your below step, if "some_type" column is of text type, it works fine. But if it is number type, the "" in the formula should be replaced by null.

     

    #"Replaced Value28" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value27","","BLANK",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"some_type"})

     

    I attach my sample below for reference.
