Hi all,
I am trying to understand if I can physically delete individual values (as opposed to tables or files) within a dataset, through Power BI.
My dataset consists of many uniform files that I have combined & loaded into my model, and I know that within all those files there are some specific erroneous values that I'd like to get rid of. I could do it in the unerlying data in each individual file, but I'd like to avoid that due to the number of files I'd have to open/filter/delete error values/save. Power BI already has all those individual files grouped into the one dataset, and I know how to isolate with the filters and see the error values in my model in Power BI. It's now just a question of deleting them.
Is there some way to do that? I need to delete them (as opposed to filter them out) because it unnecessarily complicates all my reporting and new measures.
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous
If you have errors in PQ you can right click on the column header and then choose Replace Errors and replace with null
If you are wanting to replace specific values then a tediosu way to so it is right click the column header -> Replace Values and replace with null.

Got it, thank you.
@Anonymous , Not very clear. Is it a power bi dataset?
You have the option to delete rows in the power query.
No, sorry it wasn't clear.
I don't want to delete whole rows, only specific values.
Imagine you have a 10X10 table in excel and you want to delete the contents of cell D4, D8 and D10, and keep everything else.
