Tricky Power Query M replacement

Hi all, 

 

I am struggling finding the best way to manage the following. In a Sales table I have the following columns:

 

[Client_Descr]

[Nation_Calc]

[Nation_Dest]

 

I need to replace column [Nation_Dest] with "GERMANY" when column [Client_Descr] contains "Ster" AND column [Nation_Calc] is "IRELAND"

 

I tried multiple versions of Table.ReplaceValue but didn't find a way to achieve the expected result.

 

Can someone please help?

 

Many thanks,

C.
