Change entire column value to same value?

I have a table on my sharepoint website, we have ~45k records and I need to change every single value of those records, in a specific column, to the same thing. How would I go about doing that?

  • mbr0wn Try using PnP PowerShell for bulk update of SharePoint list items.

     

    Example: 

     

    #Parameters
    $SiteURL = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/PMO"
    $ListName = "Projects"
     
    #Connect to SharePoint Online site
    Connect-PnPOnline $SiteURL -Interactive
     
    #Get all Items from the list
    $ListItems = Get-PnPListItem -List $ListName -PageSize 2000
     
    #Update all list Items
    ForEach($Item in $ListItems)
    {
        #Update List Item Title as its ID value
        Set-PnPListItem -List $ListName -Identity $Item.Id -Values @{"Title"= $Item.Id} | Out-Null
        Write-host "Updated Item:"$Item.ID   
    }

      Is this the most simple way to do this? I have never heard of PnP powershell and do not really know what i'm looking at.
