Update multiple strings in transformation

Good morning. I'm trying to replace multile string values in transformation. I can get  them to work separately but not togther:

 

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type", each [Summary],  each  if Text.Contains( _[Summary], "Please") then "Other" else [Summary] ,Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Summary"})

 

and 

 

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type", each [Summary],  each  if Text.Contains( _[Summary], "Other -") then "Other" else [Summary] ,Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Summary"})

 

Is there a way to combine these statements? If I only have one in the statement it works, but when I have both as separate Replaced Value statements then neither works. 

 

  • Each step is referring to the same original table ("Changed Type"). Is that what you want?

    They don't know about each other.  If you want them to act consecutively, you'll have to change the 2nd step to refer to the first step
