Replace "null" values from ALL columns into null values Power Query

Hi, is there a way to replace values with "null" from ALL columns into NULL or Blank values in M query?

 

Something like this but applied to all of the columns:

 

Table.ReplaceValue(Source,"null",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{ALL COLUMNS})

 

Thanks

Hi. Yes you can. Try something like this:

= Table.ReplaceValue(Source,"",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue, Table.ColumnNames(#"Step with all colums") )

You can list the columns of one step in order to do the change. This will replace "" (blanks) with null.

So if you are saying ALL COLUMNS and do not mean specifying each column individually, I'm not sure you can do that, but @ImkeF or @edhans would probably know for sure.

@ibarrau nailed it. That is the solution.

Like @edhans said.

The "#"Step with all colums" is probably "Source" here for your case.

(It's mostly the first argument of the Table.ReplaceValue-function for these use cases)
