I don't use PIVOT tables anymore... I use this other thing instead!

I used to use your forum/ website about 10 years ago to learn a lot about excel. It is amazing how the internet allow you to also come to youtube and do these further explainers and with a little sketch! Thanks for all your work and for being around all this time!

I have been working so much with Power Bi and M over the last few months that I nearly forgot about the excel basics. DAX in Power Pivot? I did not know about that but it gets a really BIG thumbs up from me. Thanks for showing.

Great to hear!

Why do we require 20+ years to have related tables

[@stevendipietro2928]

This is the best explanation I’ve seen, especially around the mapping. Great job.

[@firstname4337]

distinct count has been so useful -- makes things so much easier

[@danielnichols3594]

I still use Power Pivot every day even though I've moved on to Power BI. Measure portability and the advantage of DAX measures over calculated fields/calculated items in standard Pivot Tables are key selling points of Modern Excel, aka Power Pivot. And Power Query gives you reusability of data transformations so you spend less time manipulating data & more time analyzing your operations.

[@chandoo_]

AWESOME points... With "Analyze in Excel" you can build your models in Power BI and still have them available in Excel for reporting.

[@indrajaravi6945]

Why did you move to Power BI?

[@manabsingha2112]

I like the sense of humour in you videos. This gives me a boost to see your videos more and more. Keep it up my Excel Master :)

[@chandoo_]

Happy to hear that!

[@GeertDelmulle]

I use both types all the time. One thing I miss in PP is the grouping feature in the rows from std. pvt tables. Building that into PP requires a ‘more advanced’ knowledge of DAX. BTW: DAX as a formula language is quite cryptic IMO, or as Alberto F. puts is: DAX is simple but it’s not easy. Still, the added power of PP is undeniable.

[@chandoo_]

Thanks for that. Yes, we are not able to "Group" with Power Pivot tables. I show a trick to get grouping in this video 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXuVZKZ3fN6tqrs

[@GeertDelmulle]

@@chandoo_ Thanks for that referenced video. :-) The thing is: it is not generic enough: I use/need the grouping for creating histograms, which in std. Pivot tables is easy to do,… and to reconfigure on the spot. (Nowadays you can also use dynamic arrays for this, as well.) And I mean: for more than ‘just’ dates. In order to do this dynamically (variable bin size) you need to use more advanced DAX functions (…) If you have a way of doing that (and a video to show it), I’d be happy to watch it. :-)

[@chandoo_]

I understand. My preferred method is to use Power Query and create "conditional column" with arbitrary bucket boundaries. If you have Power BI, you can natively group values just like we did in Excel.

[@FranFerioli]

Power Pivot and Power Query are very powerful indeed. My complaint is that it's a lot of clicking and submenus. Almost immediately you get into DAX (for Power Pivot) and M language (for Power Query). Alternatively, you can use Python to clean your data, calculate what you need and write an excel file for plotting and sharing. At the end it's a matter of personal preference, but I find Python applicable to a wider set of problems although it does not fully substitute excel (for me at least).

[@shadowlynxv6082]

Wait. Can you stick Python into Power Pivot. And if so, 1:06 is it better than Dax or M?

[@FranFerioli]

@@shadowlynxv6082 I don't think so and it is not what I meant. I use Python to format the data and write a table/excel file. It is then very easy to import clean data with power query in an excel file I use for visualisation (copy-paste also works for relative small sets). The problem with power query/pivot is that it becomes exponentially more difficult if you have to manipulate data.

[@shadowlynxv6082]

@@FranFerioli oh. I see.

[@datastop400]

Too messy, and one has to learn yet another programming language. Excel, if you understand it, cleans and tranforms data excellently. Power Query and Power Pivot with 'M' and Dax does 99% of all you need in a practical work environment. Python just adds a new level of complexity with little additional benifit.

[@jasongins]

Do you have any tips for dealing with many-to-many relationships in tables?

[@utdkidswifeITO]

not possible

[@chandoo_]

Excel doesn't support Many to Many relationships. You should use an intermediate table and turn the many ↔ many to Many ← One → Many relationship. Alternatively, you can use Power BI, which supports many to many relationships.

[@aymanalqroos9116]

So you're still using pivot tables 😂

[@ennykraft]

Even if you don't SOLELY use Pivot tables, you will need them to display the results of your PowerPivot calculations. Otherwise you have several tables with some results at the bottom. Since the interface and functions are so different than Excel, it will be very difficult for less knowledgeable people to edit them. I only use them if I know it will be only me or people who are familiar with PowerPivot who will be editing them or if my clients want a function that isn't available in a Pivot table.

Hi Chandoo, how can I calculate items in Excel The same number will not be counted twice. My supervisor used to ask me how many items produced per day, how many items produced per Month, and many items produced for each segment.
