can we have the raw data for us to practice. Thank you i am learning a lot from you

[@alexkim7270]

I've never worked with merge columns before. Thanks for sharing this golden nugget. This surely would make my life much easier than writing if statements.

[@LeilaGharani]

You're very welcome, Alex!

[@jbenedict]

never used power query before but i do data cleanup manually. will do this next time as we always receive revised data from our clients. this is far more efficient! Thank you so much. Big 4 auditor here. yeah wish me luck this busy season.

[@IvanCortinas_ES]

An excellent job Leila. Let's hope that senior management (usually with little knowledge of data analysis) watch your video and open their eyes. Thank you!

[@allenmaximillian50]

Thanks!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you!

[@aftabalamwardak]

Excellent. This lecture is most relevant to me as a financial management specialist. Thank you Leila Gharani.

[@LeilaGharani]

You're most welcome!

[@lisac7386]

I'm so glad I found your KZbin channel. I am doing some volunteer work and previously it took our volunteer treasurer 5+ hours to make the summary financial report that are distributed monthly. Your videos have allowed me to develop my basic Excel skills and automate and upgrade the reports. This video will help in the still time consuming task of cleaning up our source data. Thank you so much. I do have one problem - as I transfer values about, my formatting changes. Certain reports have unique formats due to their layouts, and the same information goes into different reports so setting the source format to match the final destination format doesn't work. If you point me in the right direction for this I would appreciate it.

[@z.c.e.l.s.6189]

Thanks

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you!

[@MdAbdullahAlMuyid_nowho]

This is the closest video on ERP generated data. Huge thumbs up for introducing these clean up methods. Thanks a ton

[@simbarashemakwati4260]

I enjoyed the fill function on Account. I wish I could use that. However data has account in the same column as date i want to remove I want to put account into its own column and date in its own column. How do I do that?

[@sachinrv1]

Fantastic video Leila. The Hot tip is at 14:50 frame. Not many people know that one can in fact do find and replace inside the formula. One can do find and replace the cell ranges in the formula as well. That's really pro way of using Excel. Thanks Cheers :)

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks Sachin!

[@MrSupernova111]

I didn't know I could do that. It would have been handy many times in the past!

[@paolosoloperto4948]

Just one word .... Leila you are a genius! congratulations on your videos

[@nataliefino1926]

Leila, no one else I have found explains Excel as well as you do. Thank you!!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful, Natalie!

[@chh8860]

Sooooooooooo much to think about .... how can one person deliver sooooo much information so effortlessly? .... so good ... so good ... so good ... thank you ...thank you ... thank you ...

[@LeilaGharani]

Wow, thank you!

[@vilassadhwani5335]

You are definitely goddess of MS Excel😇

[@arjunps6776]

What a fantastic tutorial! I get files with European numbering system and I used to use to Substitute function in Excel to replace comma with dots and vice versa. Thanks to this video, I'll start using Power Query now.

[@MrSupernova111]

That's a good idea! Power Query also has a "replace" feature. Many ways to do this one.

[@madu2win382]

Thanks Leila for your tips...Hope You, fmly and all team always healthy and happy to help

[@ImranHussain-xv4se]

Great, I m SAP user , I was looking for this material Thanks

[@pamm8439]

I have used your videos to learn power query and introduce so many efficiencies for my team. Converting the currency with locale was so useful in automating a bank statement import from Euro format. Thank you for these videos!

[@ahsanlive]

Every day I do in my office place, I do same thing by manually data export to excel from Oracle database by "copy and move" making another worksheet not to destroy original format, Will try this time your rules and format, hopefully I will manage it. Thank you for your wonderful lesson and video.

[@ravvenhawk1110]

Thank you very much, you are The EXCEL ANGEL you changed my perception toward excel and data analysis, I am grateful that I meet you on KZbin, and i am thinking of subscribing to SkillShare to follow your courses and interact with you for some coaching, Thank you very much Leila.

[@Алексей-б6к5е]

It would be cool if you uploaded a file with data from the example.When you do everything with your own hands, it's better to remember.Amazing Leila.Amazing video.Thank you!

[@MrSupernova111]

You can pay for her course and get her training materials.

[@renatovianello874]

@@MrSupernova111 Which course you mean? I have subscribed Leila's Master Excel Power Query Beginner to Advanced (including M) course, but this training material is not included.

[@qiaorongchang8605]

Your tutorial never been disappointed. Accounting life will be easier with it. Thanks goddess Excel!

[@LeilaGharani]

You're so welcome!

[@MrSupernova111]

Brilliant!! I work in finance and every reporting period we have to merge about 20 data tables, group the data by classification, and generate a client report by groupings which vary per client. About a year ago I created an Excel template using nothing but Excel functions. While the template works fine because there are only about a thousand rows of total data, updating the file manually each quarter takes a while because there are about 20 tables that must be added/appended manually. Also, the output page was challenging to create as I need to filter out blank rows and maintain the integrity of each grouping. Imagine a single client report with up to 20 data tables for each grouping. I'm going to re-haul the template using Power Query so in the future all we need to do is drop the client performance data and have Power Query merge and transform the other data directly from the source files (about 20) like you did here. Thank you for another amazing video! Cheers!

[@thesandman8642]

Great presentation on Power Query Leila. Saving hours of manual work.

[@exceltutoredwithanass7449]

Thank you...It is indeed very informative

[@dulal880]

Helpfull topics for me. Thanx

[@franzstreule333]

well done. But if this were my task to do, i would not remove the "absolute difference" column and the Sum rows (e.g. "Other Revenue") They are the perfect information to check your work for errors. In accounting and controlling, you always must assume that something will not add up correctly, and that you will have to search where the error originates. But i like the clean-up process.

[@LeilaGharani]

Good point, Franz. Thank you for the feedback!

[@rmmccarthy1240]

Fantastic! Thank you for the lesson!

[@Madd0g5148]

Awesome. Will try use this for other applications. Thanks

[@dirkstaszak4838]

Hi this is actually what I am doing in my daily business. I would however strongly recommend to use Excel export from SAP as it is more reliable. Otherwise it is always interesting to see the various approaches to a particular issue. Thanks 😊
