[@joesmith4254]

Thanks, brilliant tutorial as always from you. Fun to see that you have picked up new habits in the newer videos, ie. naming steps in Power Query without spaces and so you can tell what the step is doing.

[@excelisfun]

Yup, as time goes no we keep learning : ) This trick is in my new M Code book coming out in one month.

[@waiyanminsoe4982]

Hay I would like to thanks the author for passing my microsoft pl 300 exam. Although this course isn't aimed for pl-300 exam, this author and his videos definitely helped me to get started on power bi journey . Please continue to post amazing contents and I would like to learn more from you and thank you so much !!

[@excelisfun]

Congrats on passing!!! Here is video that shows the different classes and videos that I provide for free at KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX_Lf2SQrJ2ig5I

Absolutely Brilliant! Power Query example was a home run. Thanks....

[@excelisfun]

Glad you like it!

[@GeertDelmulle]

Thanks Mike for repeating these videos, merging them into one lesson and integrating all of it into the MSPTDA class. They fit nicely in this course, and it was necessary to watch them again. BTW: I explain the DAX formulas to myself in terms of Context and Context Type (row/filter), which is just a little different than the way you explained it, but (of course) it boils down to the exact same thing. Just to practice the DAX way of thinking. See you on the next one!

[@excelisfun]

I like the way you think! Thinking in DAX so so much different then in Worksheet Formulas or Power Query, in a good way : ) Thanks for your support, Geert!

[@GeertDelmulle]

Mike, the other day in Excel Classic, I was writing a formula and I wrote it from a DAX-perspective: it gives you a new way of thinking about the old stuff. The formula was this: =MAX(LEN(SomeRange)). It’s a single cell calculation (and we like that kind of stuff!) and I really saw it as an aggregator on a dynamically (and in-cell) constructed range (column). Two things/aspects I learned from the DAX environment. Of(f) course, I still need CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, but still: in the past I would have used a helper column. BTW, I know: it’s a known Excel technique called “lifting”, but still: it makes for a powerful, compact and efficient workbook (and a lot of jaws dropping on the floor when people ask me to ‘mildly’ explain it :-). They always say the same: “they thought they knew Excel, but they didn’t know “this” “. (Where “this” is a variable). Yeah, well: whatever gets the job done, right? :-) (Single cell computations yield very elegant spreadsheets :-)

[@excelisfun]

@@GeertDelmulle Love that story, Geert!!!! Yes, Single Cell, whether conceptualized in Worksheet or DAX, is still awesome!!! Thanks for being so smart with Excel and treating the people at your work with fun surprises : )

[@jeffkasavan93]

Well, In the written instructions, I see you DID say to import the data model from the Excel sheet. Nice!

[@jasontan4730]

Awesome tutorial 👍👍👍. I tend to get confused when switching between Excel and DAX. But this video really helps to call out the difference . Millions thanks Mike 👍😁😁

[@excelisfun]

Million you are welcomes!!! My specialty is linking DAX, Data Model and Power Query between Excel, Excel Power Pivot and Power BI : )

[@Levelworm]

Thanks for the video. I actually see a lot of this kind of layouts in DWH design. It is called "header-detail" design if I'm not mistaken. Kimball thinks this is a bad design but I guess people use it a lot.

[@excelisfun]

You are welcome, Levelword! Yes, Kimball and Header-Detail... that is why the names of the Excel Tables in this example where Header and Detail ; ). It makes sense that people store data this way because the shipping and discount ARE "whole" Invoice numbers, and the units and price ARE whole product line numbers, but then it is incumbent of us, data modelers or data warehousers, to have a little fun allocating : )

[@shoeshines2121]

This was an awesome video with the 3 different methods to solving this problem. Great tutorial!

Now I know how to lock a cell in an Excel table. Thank you :)

[@DIGITAL_COOKING]

Now I think no one will choose methods other than the third one, great video mike for data modeling..and don't forget to check your power bi desktop it's said that there is a new update :)

[@excelisfun]

Yes, I like the Power Query Method also, but the DAX formulas are amazing : ) Thanks for the reminder about updating my Power BI - you are smartly observant!

[@markosiridzanski2181]

I am used to using CALCULATE wherever I need context transition. In the case of pulling in gross sales amount in fInvoiceHeader, firstly I created Total Sales Column in LineItmes Table, and dragged it as CALCULATE(SUM(fLineItemInvoiceDetail[Total Sales])). Is there any drawback compared to relatedtable solution?

[@jeffkasavan93]

Thanks for the eye-opening lesson. In the Power BI segment, I used Import to transfer the data model from the Excel file into the Power BI file. Is that a method that you go over later in the MSPTDA series?

[@excelisfun]

You know, I thought I taught it in MSPTDA #17, but I just looked and it is not there!?!?!?! I guess I did only there very minimum by including it in one line in the pdf notes : ( It is great to know when you already have Data Model in Excel. Then you can have the best of both worlds, Excel Data Model PivotTable, then bring Data Model over to Power BI for some publishable interactive visuals !!!

[@jolieken5630]

Awesome Video from the MVP. Thanks so much. I have a congestion with DAX when doing the same formula what you did with DAX in this Video, I don't know why. Excel tell that they have errors with Invoice Sales. The errors disappear then it returns right values if I refresh all. However, I try to refresh first then typing formula, the errors still happen until I take refresh all again. Could you tell me the reason ?

[@kebincui]

Top👍👍👍

[@excelisfun]

Glad you like it!!!!

[@williamarthur4801]

Just out of interest I noticed that in the excel sumif formula where you lock the structured reference for criteria range, but for criteria itself you used the locked cell reference, is it possible to absolute @[Product] , I've tried every which way I can think of.

[@excelisfun]

Maybe INDEX([Product],1) if it was the first cell.

[@AhmedAbdalalim]

Nice one Thanks

Mike amazing video as always! Quick question for you and any viewers of the channel. Is there a shortcut key to jump you back to a sheet when you a doing a formula that references multiple worksheets? So I'm doing a countifs on sheet 2 that references a range on sheet 1 as one of my criteria range. When I go and select this range on sheet 1 is there a shortcut key that takes me back to the formula on sheet 2?

[@excelisfun]

To jump back to a Precedent Cell, try Ctrl + [

[@excelisfun]

To jump to a Dependent Cell, try Ctrl + ]

Hello Mr Mike i have one question can u plz help me out.. I wana simply sumif values on merged cells.. Like i have data A2:B20.. A2:A20 is criteria range where some names are merged and B2:B20 is sum range.. I wanna sumif the values based on criteria where some cells are merged. When am trying to do this its giving the only sum of first value of each merged cells.

[@excelisfun]

It depends on how you want all the dates to change.

[@nasnooka]

ExcelIsFun I need all the dates in sequence i.e from 5/1/2019 to 5/31/2019, so when change date in first cell all dates need to change automatically. If you have any video please share link.

[@excelisfun]

Do you prefer using DAX or Power Query on this issue? I've been using Power Query but it seems that the DAX way is better. What do you think?

DAX is often faster.
