categorize the groups based on some logic

I have a table grouped by id. Now I want to add a new column "local" filled bay a value Yes or no based on a condition.
Condition is that whenever there is first instance of event C and there is the type local against that event then in the new column local fill the value "Yes" for all the records of the id category. Please note that Event C could have multiple instances in the group. So need to consider only first instance.  
id       event        type
1        A               local
1        B               null
1        C               null
1        C               local
2        A               null
2        C               local
2        B               external
2        C               external
3        A              local
3        C              local
4        B              external
4        C              external
4        C              Local

Output table will look like
id       event        type           local
1        A               local          No
1        B               null            No
1        C               External     No
1        C               local          No
2        A               null            Yes
2        C               local          Yes
2        B               external     Yes
2        C               external     Yes
3        A              local           Yes
3        C              local           Yes
4        B              external      No
4        C              external      No
4        C              local           No

I would appreciate any help in this regard.
Thank you!

        #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([event] = "C")),
        #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"id"}, {{"Temp", each _, type table [id=nullable text, event=nullable text, type=nullable text]}}),

        #"Expanded Removed Columns" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Removed Columns", {"Custom"}, {"Custom"}),
        #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Expanded Removed Columns",null,"No",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Custom"})
    in
        #"Replaced Value"
