    Hello everybody.

    I am trying to replace values in one column but only if where the value in another column has a specific value.

    For instance, I want to replace all "1" with blanks in column A but only if the value in column B is "REPLACE".

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You need to create an additional column and use a formula such as 
     if [B]="REPLACE" and [A]="1" then "" else [A]

    then delete column [A] and rename the new column in "A"

    Thank you, I had already done that in Excel, once data was loaded. But I will try it in Power Query.
