Very Good !

[@AAAExcel]

Thanks!

[@lpenatti]

It worked very well! Thanks for sharing. However, in the last step, all column types are changed to general (acb123). Is there a way to keep original column types, like you did for column names?

[@bagnon]

I also tried this with unpivot the columns, do the List.ReplaceMatchingItems step on the one Values column, Pivot the table back and then Table.ExpandListColumn.

[@AAAExcel]

Nice trick, this will work too, thank you 🙏

[@mirrrvelll5164]

Good one! Record more PQ videos =)

[@AAAExcel]

Will do my best - thank you 🙏

10:45 This will give a Formula.Firewall Error. Not when writing it, but after reopen the file, even with your final exercise file. But the final result is not affected.

[@AAAExcel]

I believe this error is nothing to do with the function itself, I will recheck it from my side anyway

[@ShaalanHalahleh]

How can I change the values in each column with different helper tables?

[@jiky4296]

when i am giving this command List.ReplaceMatchingItems([Column1],oldnew) i am getting list of errors instead of list of list

[@manjeetmarothiya1519]

Hi Thanks for making video on List M code, thanks for explaining this Topic in very Deep and easly. I request you Please make a Video on How to Import a Zip or Gzip CSV File in Power query with the Help of Import zip file M - code. Thanks,

[@AAAExcel]

Thank you for your comment, I will consider in future plans :)

[@jiky4296]

Sorry this way too complicated, I have simpler solution first unpivot all the columns expect first 2 columns, then merge the two table, then replace null value with some place holder values then use ReplaceValue to get value from other column, then delete the 2nd column the pivot back and done, in this case the number of columns in first table and number of replacement in second table don't matter at all

[@AAAExcel]

nice idea, if are not confortable with functions, unpivot, merge and pivot is a good solution too
