You refresh the data and find several errors. You discover that new entries in the Sales table contain nonnumeric values.

Question

Accepted Answer

B. No While the Advanced Editor allows for direct manipulation of the M-code, it is not the most direct or efficient way to replace errors in a column with a specific value like 0. Power Query provides a dedicated 'Replace Errors' function within the UI for this purpose, making the Advanced Editor an unnecessarily complex approach for this specific task.

Answer

A. Yes If the solution were 'Yes', it would imply that merely opening the Advanced Editor is a direct and efficient way to replace errors, which is generally not true for simple error replacement tasks where dedicated UI options are available.
