Hi
I know how to delete empty Rows using Power Query. But I thought I also can delete empty cells. I remember I did it once but I do not see that option now. Power Query would insert Null in these empty cells. For example I have this table and there are some empty cells I want to delete? Thank you very much.

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Are you sure, because that would be strange since PQ works on columns or records (rows). I do not see how to accomplish this trough the UI.
In your example what would be the expected result?

(I assume you know to replace blanks by nulls is simply using the replace value feature.) But that's not what you are after here.

I think I had one column table and deleting empty rows means in this case deleting empty cells. I think that is what I tried beofore. Thanks for the confirmation and also very thanks for the replace feature. I did not know I can do that. Actually that can be the answer to spot these empty cells. Thank you again.
