Replace a value with null/blank

Hello

 

I have a column that contains some values with the text "text". I want to replace these values with the default 'blank' value of PowerBI.

 

I clicked to replace and I left the 'replace with' value as empty, however these values appear in my slicer as void and not as (blank).

 

What should I need to replace them with so that they appear as (blank) for the default blank PowerBI value?

 

I post here what I see in the slicer and I highlight the value that I want them not to appear as void but as (blank):

Thanks!

@UsePowerBI in power query when you are using replace, use null word not space in the replace with and that will do it.

As @parry2k  said, we use the ‘null’ keyword in the M code to refer to the null
