Chandeep, did you say you can do **Incremental Refresh** when files are saved in SharePoint?! 🤯 Can you point to where I can learn how to do that because that would be a game changer for me!! 😁 Thanks!!

I think the incremental refresh is only possible with a Premium account.

Dear Chandeep! I suggest, You could also make additional videos on the power query optimization options as discussed in the video. Please give me your suggestion. I have a problem with the notebook I use at my work. It has an old i3 cpu, 8GB of ram and use Office 365. Dozens of (currently 80 files) csv files need to be processed. Their individual file sizes are approx. 800 MB and the number of rows sometimes exceeds 1 million per file before cleaning. The files are distributed in directories. Imagine that there are cities, stores in the cities, products in the stores, and finally sales data for each product in the stores per customers. Should I read the individual files and then combine them, or should I read the main library? Than filter the necessary data types? Should I store the queries in memory or load them into excel pages? What if there are more rows than 1 million? How should I handle large amounts of data? Maybe I should switch to the MS Access program? Or should I upload all csv files to SharePoint and read them from there with PoweQuery?

Hello Goodly, a question. Is it possible to generate a sheet automatically in Power Query? I have a table with a question number column and the rows are the answers. I want to separate the question numbers into sheets. Sheet="1" with all the answers to question 1, sheet="2" with all the answers to question 2... sheet =62 with all the answers to question 62.

Hi Goodly, do you have a way to combine xls files?

Some of these tips I picked up from different tutorials and some I was able to figure out myself. And indeed, they help improve refresh of the query. 😃

One small question. Even though csv is a better option than excel when it comes to raw data but their file sizes are quite higher than excel. In older Office, I have seen csv s to be quite smaller in sizes when I would convert them from Excel but it doesn't happen nowadays. How can we address this?

Sorry, but what you meant by merge but not combine?
@CiachoAcM3 ай бұрын
@@dharmmuI mean join :) you can combine a lot of files but what about join/merge. If you want to join tables there is only possibility to do it with max 2 tables using specific ID columns. I would like to have one "base table" and join multiple tables (saved in one folder) to them.

@@CiachoAcM the other tables are in different sheets or workbook or in one sheet itself you have many different tables. Also, tables are in proper excel table format or it's just a sets of data in excel.

It’s simpler to control formatting with xlsx files than csv - especially with leading 0’s

Btw, I believe you can transform a subset of the data (like sample file in the transform step) with power query, then convert these power query applied steps into SQL to apply to the larger dataset.
