I think we're all winners with this vid.

[@jean-claudebrunet1645]

Guys, you are genius . You are equally brilliant. This is a draw but the real winner is me a I am the beneficiary of your tricks 😃

[@ziggle314]

Two of my favorite Excel gurus having a friendly competition. It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks!

[@nizararena]

[@GeertDelmulle]

For me it’s Mark for the win because of the following canons he pulled out of his hat of tricks: “flatten headers”, “query in a step” and “Merge does the fastest exact match”. They made the difference for me. All the tricks are good, but those stood out for me.

[@Nousername88]

I rarely have enough attention span to sit and watch anything longer than 20mins video. This was one of the rare ones where I was able to do that. Thanks mark and chandeep, you guys should keep the collaboration going !

[@NeshaStanic]

This is great. You should practice this often. No winners here, only us, audience.

[@michaeloloishuro6915]

Hi Team of Champs>Mark and Chandeep. Having been following the two, I know you are both Giants and the synergy here is explosive. Great job and justice done to educating us on various employable tricks. Thanks.

[@edsta714]

King Kong vs Godzilla. Let them fight.

[@ericrobbins6953]

Wonderful contest between two Grand Master wizards casting their M magic. Removing Null columns is sick and I am using today. This would be such a fantastic regular series!

[@williamarthur4801]

Really liked the add columns, I was thinking of your 'creating dynamic columns ' challenge, where I'd changed it so then names were header and 'hobbies ' row headers, done this a few ways, and think this may be a new way. find 'off the grid ' really useful long before I found mark on youtube

[@shirleymoreman6725]

Mark 7 Chandeep 7! You guys! Those were 14 absolutely awesome tricks. Thanks for putting this together.

[@txreal2]

I follow and admire both. Chandeep got the bonus +1 point just because he promotes this ideas ✨ and shares with us. Now that's Goodly stuff 👍

[@frankschadler9407]

Wow. Serveral awsome tips, thank you, Chandeep and Mark. A voting is difficult. I know most of your tips, Chandeep. And as a former SAP-R3 user, I can imagine that Mark's tips are more than helpful for those who suffer from these special tables where essential information is above the table. Please allow some questions: Why did you, Mark, use merge / right outer instead of inner join? (Battle 6) What is the benefit of the code optimizations? I ask because I always have to correct code to respond to changes in the data. If you summarize everything, checking and correcting becomes difficult.

[@bendreessen2809]

Awesome tricks from both Chandeep and Mark! Several tricks are immediately applicable to my queries. The most helpful include Projections, Local Grouping, Dynamic File Path, Fetching Date Columns, and Use Merge to Filter. Thank you both for the tips! As for the points Mark - 4 Chandeep - 3

[@sivakumarilluru560]

Thanks Chandeep and Mark ...For my Prospective both are winners .. Once again Thank you for sharing Best tricks in power Query.

[@vsrinivasan574]

Very Very Useful tips, both have made us win, excellent, Thanks,. Removing blank columns made my life easy

[@zuzanasmekalova4632]

Great video of two great PQ masters! From my current user level/knowledge I give 4 points for Chandeep for "add more columns in one step", "automatically promoted headers", "is number/is text"; "transform all columns" and 3 points to Mark "filtering data with right outer merge", "get the info/date from removed rows", "query in custom column" As somebody wrote before me - we are all winning here! :) thanks!

[@omarbbah]

This is just awesome! Just to add to Mark's first trick, instead of manually typing the date you can create a Table of dates from the files in the folder by creating a new query and maintaining the file name column. You output this as a table and create a data validation from it. This will eliminate the manual input of dates and mitigated errors.

[@navisalomi]

Table.Profile from Mark, Groupkind.local from Chandeep. Awesome. Great guys 🎉

[@wynhopkins4023]

Bravo! An honourable draw covering some great tricks

[@McIlravyInc]

I was searching just today for a way to clean all columns without hard coding and couldn't find anything so the the empty list brackets tip is very timely! And this was fun to watch too which actually makes it easier to remember. Bravo to you both!

[@dharmmu]

Mark tricks was more which we require in day today professional work....

[@ericrobbins6953]

Watching again and again. The concatenation and appending columns in one step was very cool. Both of you bringing some great content. Mark's is awesome for solving tricky situations. Chandeep's tips I will probably use more often. Tie contest waiting for the tie-breaker.

[@txreal2]

Yes, another video for tie-breaker :)

[@BIGorilla]

What a video the Power Query community much needed. Two giants, one battle. Both with endless moves to shoot at each other. Im glad you finally agreed to a truce. The world gets to live another day. I bet this battle could have lasted for weeks. 😉

[@User-jr5xf]

Just WOW ! I think i have several uses for this, and thanks Gents for taking the time. I'd say 7-7. I need to test what i've learned, and may have a good example, for a follow up video, if i can't understand it myself.

[@rajanpradeepankarath8846]

It is not about the points, it is rather about the value you both imparted to us. Thanks both

[@sebfromgermany3819]

Lovely idea to have a competion that boosts creativity. I follow both of these geniuses-each with its own admirable style👏. This competition shows once more both gentlemen know ALL the awesome tricks of the trade 🪄. Mark 7-Chandeep 7 + 1 bonus point, because you can't beat the simplicity of the trick of using records to add columns. Great of you both - Cheers guys! The audience is the ultimate winner 🎉

[@anillpatel]

What a privilege to learn from two awesome 'Powerhouses'. I'm definitely a winner out of this...., Thank you Chandeep and thank you Mark....,

[@isaacmireku5805]

Very Impressive @GoodlyChandeep. Bless you

[@whizzohk]

Entertaining AND educational... thank you both! You are both winners in my book. Really appreciate you sharing the actual files you were working with. Plenty of useful nuggets in there.

[@shellycastille4991]

More, more, more. This was an absolutely fabulous idea for a video.

[@PeterTurrell-cg9ji]

Both of you presented thoughtful and worthwhile tricks. A tie well done.

[@christiankramer8526]

You are amazing, you are both winners !!! Well done !!! 👍👍👍

[@jonallen9910]

Thank you for sharing your abilities

[@baskis69]

Brilliant, spectacular tricks, thanks for sharing. My favourite is Mark's trick #7.

[@Maartenmarsje]

Brilliant video! Thanks you so much! I’ve learned a lot of new tricks due to your competition.

[@AnbarasuAnnamalai]

Awesome tips. Thank you Chandeep for bringing Mark. You both are rocking.

[@nicolasyans7986]

Same here you guys are both giants. Each with its own specificities and coding style. Discovered the table.profile function that will come handy at times (thumbs up for Mark). Everlasting thanks to Chandeep for his video on Table.transformcolumns tutorial. I didn’t’ know Mark at the start of my PowerQry journey, so my vote goes to Chandeep who has taught me so much. But keep it up hoth if you your work is so inspiring.

[@piotrm7330]

Personally for me ... Mark 7, Chandeep 4 (tricks 2, 5-7), and not because I don't like you Chandeep ;), but because I find Mark's tricks more usefull. Anyway, both of you are worth to follow. Good job

[@SndfOmar]

Wow! The GOATs of PQ showing their magic in front of our mesmerized eyes! This is a compact video, total of 14 into one AWESOME video. You guys were both great and sport. Chandeep deliberately threw a weak first hand, as he's the host.😉 😄 Mark 7, Chandeep 6. 😅

[@leemorgan8007]

Amazing work to both of you - some of this blows my mind and I now need to see how I can translate this into my work. I scored Mark 6 - Chandeep 6 - a worthy draw.

[@SeelanRobert]

You guys are Awesome Amazing PQ Tricks at the end everyone is benefited. Thank you so much

[@Ratnakumarwrites]

Nice Collab... I learnt lot from both of you... I like Chandeep's great way of teaching style, I learnt more from him.. Simple and elegant, superb. Mark I like his tricks great.

[@gennarocimmino]

You were simply fantastic and this idea of a trick 'challenge' is really exciting. You undoubtedly have two different styles of approaching solutions to everyday problems that arise in the world of data cleansing. My point scale leans towards Chandeep and for me the score is: Chandeep: 6 Mark: 5 But kudos to both of you and applause to Chandeep for organising this kind of really interesting meeting. Good luck to both of you

[@kaushikbarot9653]

Getting a single column as a table was new to me. It's great !!

[@rachidwatcher5860]

Thanks to both of you. Amazing tricks!

[@adityachouhan5968]

For me you both are the winner !!! but since 5 to 6 month i am following Chandeep and learnt lots of things , hence my softer side always goes to my guru (Chandeep).

[@husnainmanzoor8665]

That add query into custom column. Lovely

[@valerylambert4673]

Excellent! I give all the points to each of you. For my point of view, you are ex aequo! It is an excellent idea. Feel free to do another challenge of this type whenever you want!

[@JUHILLAPSIWALA007]

You both are my idol as both sides of the coin. ❤

[@Rice0987]

Nice to meet you guys all together!🤗 You both are super boss!✊😁

[@GlenCoulthard]

Amazing tips -- one of the most useful videos I've watched in a long time!

[@kebincui]

For Mark's tip No. 4 (Removing Null Columns), if you first change the data type to whole number, then you can apply filter to [NullCount] column without the bug error message (at 27':32'' of the video)

[@elvyrorie1432]

Wow. Great video that Ive now saved for future reference. My scoring criteria was based on whether I knew the trick already. Chandeep 6 Mark 3. Although...if you wanted to weight these youd come out about equal in this competition. Good stuff y'all.

[@priyeshsanghvi8424]

Clash of the Titans ! Chandeep is my Guru......Goodly = Godly....... but Mark is also no less. Both get 5/5 Stars. The last tricks from both were awesomely mindblowing (all were).....hoping to see more of these type of videos ( in addition to your regular one :) )

[@williamarthur4801]

Jus to update really loveed the add colun as record, one example; Table.AddColumn( TableofColumnHeaders , "Custom", each Record.FromList( Source [Item], Source [Name] )) then to check if value in each row / column = column header ; Table.ReplaceValue( #"Expanded Custom", each [ColumnHeader], "Attended", (x,y,z)=> if Text.Contains( x, y) then z else "" , Source [Name] )

[@DinoDelight]

Thsnk you for this video, I keep coming back to this video as I keep requiring things that you have covered here, for example I used mark column location trick today....was a came changer for what I was working with

[@justapasserby69420]

Unstoppable force, meet immovable object

[@umesh2403]

Am a happy boy too and am I did indeed have that rabbit out of hat moment in all those tricks. .guys I wish more of these short but useful titbits

[@009hjs]

Both of you are super, thank you so much

[@jaybuddhadev3543]

both were great . got to learn many new tricks

[@DinoDelight]

Every trick was great, but the one I know I will use constantly from know is the change all data by {}

[@GrainneDuggan_Excel]

Battle of the Titans! 14 fabulous tricks - thanks for this Mark and Chandeep!!! My score: Mark = 7, Chandeep = 7. However, I actually think it should be much higher for each of you. Definitely keeping this video in my refer to again file!

[@mikesnow5698]

What a great video! Awesome tricks all the way around. I'm always looking for ways to cut out steps in my queries and these tips blow my mind! Mark - 6 Chandeep - 6

[@arokiarajan1230]

Flattenheaderrows - Mark Great-tips. Thanks mate.

[@advrohitowhal9794]

Mark 7 | Chandeep 7. Wonderful job done. Thanks a lot!

[@bhagipatel5180]

Great Learning, you both are winners

[@sravankumar4860]

Damn I feel the video is literally short..keep doing this man. many thanks to you ❤❤

[@victor_wang_1]

Mark's trick number 6 is so important and so common to miss. No amount of custom M code will be better than simple joins.

[@rrrraaaacccc80]

Great both of you 💯👍

[@vebe7109]

Great tricks ! Need part 2🎉

[@peterbebbington3435]

Excellent. Can you add the timings for each trick?

[@danielblanc1370]

Thanks to both of you for the shared tricks. It's difficult to decide between you, the themes covered were different but all interesting. I would tend to give the victory to Chandeep because Mark's header trick was encapsulated in a predefined function so Chandeep =7 and Mark =6.

[@RonnySadamHusen]

Both are the best. I give the highest point for both of them.

[@leewism]

Great tricks! My scoring Mark 4 - Chandeep 5

[@westleyempeigne6541]

Great videos guys ‘My score: Chandeep 6 (sorry Chandeep 😜) Mark 7

[@PowerMacro]

Most of the tricks you Chandeep already covered, which mark has shown. Full points to Chandeep. But, knowledge is knowledge. Wherever you get it Grab it. Thanks guys for wonderful healthy competition. Thank you thank you and millions of thank you.

[@DanielBula1964]

You are geniuses. I call it a draw. Blessings!

[@fajnefajne4339]

The score is 10:10. All tricks are amazing and I love them. Thank you both for this great competition. I feel a winner too, because I have learnt a lot. ❤

[@rudneyrocha]

Hi Chandeep!! Please, could you explain to me when it is better to do something in Power Query M, instead of writing it in DAX? Congrats for your videos, its help me a lot!!! Thank You so Much!!

[@thierrysouchard471]

Great tricks 👏 Thank you so much to keep on pushing the boundaries. To me it is a draw

[@azeezwahab5188]
