Some neat tricks here. But the groupings are being done using the table that you probably will want to use for other things as well, so I usually preface groupings with the creation of a reference table...

The first time that I can say "I already knew all" Thank you so much for all your videos, you are the best at Power Query. The only thing I would do differently is for the last trick I would create 2 columns one with minimum date and one with maximum date and then extract the days to ensure I capture the exact period.

Thanks for the video. Blown away since i always assumed Powerquery was linear and sequencial, suddenly seeing you calling early steps blew my mind. Also the flexibility of the group by is quite amazing, i was not aware. Super useful stuff to use on Dataflows.

You’re the only one who explains M code in a way I can understand it and I desperately needed this video last week, my guy lol. I had to do grouped running totals and everyone else does it by using a custom function. I attempted the custom function until I felt like my brain was melting but I finally got it to work. Seeing your last solution, which was exactly what I needed, is so simple I could cry 😂 For a spreadsheet that uses sources with 100,000+ rows, is this way more efficient than the custom function?

Great, thank you Chandeep. Could you please make a video about "Query folding", especially how to overcome transformations that break the folding. One example is next video "Getting Crazy with the Power Query UI" from Guy in a Cube. But they are using UI in Power BI Service. In Desktop you have to use M code. I think tricks with Lists usage will be very interesting.

Is it possible to sort the text.combine from the first example? Ascending or by another list?

@alexbarbucristi 9 ай бұрын

Yes, use Text.Combine(List.Sort(List.Distinct([Column Name])), ", ") for ascending and Text.Combine(List.Sort(List.Distinct([Column Name]), Order.Descending), ", ") for descending. It would be interesting to know if one can sort a column by a list. I know it allows reordering columns by a list so... probably someone like Goodly can definitely achieve the sorting too.

Thanks alot for the video ❤️ I have a doubt for example i have a data of 30 employees for the last month and i need to add a target but the condition is if the employee has taken 2 leaves then the target will be 0 for those 2 leaves and if employee takes more than 2 leaves then the target for 3rd,4th leave and so on will be 100. Leaves can be either CL or EL. Is it possible using power query?

I loved all the examples, particularly the Text. Combine grouping. Can a delimiter like CHAR(10) be used here to keep texts in a separate line?

@BobbySox-i9q 2 ай бұрын

No CHAR(10) is DAX you need to use carriage return and line feed combination which in ‘M’ is "#(cr)#(lf)"

It would be better (in last Tip - Grouping by Stint) rather than counting the months in a stint, identifying when to when a person was in a particular role (consecutively). It can be done in EXCEL. It should be reliably (and without complication) done in Power Query - A challenge for your enthusiasm.

@JorgePerez-bu4ph 9 ай бұрын

Thanks Goody! Very helpful. Silly question: Is there any way to add a related column from another table in Power Query M? I said it is a silly question because I know it can be achieved in DAX, but I have no idea if that can be done in Power Query. I have Table1 and Table2 both with a common Column [A] I need to copy column [B] from Table2 to Table1... can be done in M?

why is it not a good idea to have totals and subtotals in power query? i have heard this from many but never appreciated the reason. There are situations where i would need to have subtotals by say region of north , south, etc. in your examples which would work great if i use group and append in PQ itself. Thank you Chandeep as always, you are amazing.

@GoodlyChandeep 9 ай бұрын

Because you can always use the SUM function to create a total. Power Query is for preparing data and not the output.

@sujithkamath 9 ай бұрын

@@GoodlyChandeep thank you chandeep. I had been able to use PQ to create output reports with conditional formatting to look better than a simple output table. In those cases these totals and specially subtotals showing randomly in between rows depending on data, works amazing. I get your point though in general, totals should be avoided 👍👍
