Thanks for another extremely informative and practical Excel mastery video. I started teaching myself Power Query only a few months ago, after over 27 years as an Excel developer. I can honestly say that there's no turning back. Power Query will forever change how I interact with my favorite spreadsheet program. Thank you for explaining each of these common scenarios in concise and clear terms. Everything makes sense as you presented it. I think for me, the main challenge is to develop the insight and intuition to know which Power Query menu options to use and in what sequence. It is not always immediately obvious to me when to pivot/unpivot/transpose - sometimes repeatedly - to rearrange the data into a final tabular format ready for analysis. I've done dozens of Power Query exercises on datasets just like the ones you covered in the lecture. I guess I will get better at it with continued practice and patience. Sometimes I end up writing complex but effective custom reusable M Code functions to arrive at the desired result, only to find out later that it could have been accomplished strictly through the UI! 🙂 Thank you!

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Great to hear! I know what you mean about knowing which tools to use in what order is not always obvious, but in time you'll become adept at it. 😊

[@michaelpammit8647]

Mynda, thank you for this video! You've changed my life. Over this weekend, I had to pull data from over 400 bi-weekly print-formatted timecards made in excel. They each had 2 non-formatted tables of weeks, and separate rows for each department worked in (thankfully, column & row numbers were consistent for all of them). Using a combination of your pivot scenarios plus your "multiple files containing multiple sheets" video, I was able to get the data from ALL of the timecards in tabular format (one row per dept-date-hours) in just about 8 hours' work! And I can just refresh the query as new timecards are added! Not to mention all the error-catching utility. Thank you!!!

Glad I came across your examples. It gave me an idea how to deal with some messy tabulated data similar to the second example however, my dilemma is that instead of just numbers, the values below the columns include text strings. For example, column 1 is the unique audit id, column 2 is the score for parameter 1, column 3 is the comment for parameter 1, column 4 is the score for parameter 2, column 5 is the comment for parameter 2, and so on and so forth. I have 7 parameters in total. I need the data to be in rows in a way that I have all the scores in 1 column but still with the comments beside them. I'll try to experiment using the steps you shared and hopefully be able to figure it out.

[@richardnortier107]

Had a really poorly organized data set and watched this maybe ten times while walking through my data and finally it all clicked! With the tranpose/ pivot/ unpivot it is like an excel based Rubik's Cube! The only challenge I have is I have a column with the "YEAR" in YYYY format. When I change from Whole Number to Date it gives me mm/dd/yyyy that is not even close. Not sure what is going on but major victory to get all the data organized to do a better dashboard.

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Wow, awesome to hear, Richard! If you have a column that only contains the year e.g. 2022, how do you want Power Query or Excel to determine the day and month components? You'd need to add a custom column using a function like =#date([year],12,30) to return 12/30/2022

[@richardnortier107]

@@MyOnlineTrainingHub If it needs to show the full mm/dd/yyyy, showing the last day of the month (when the data is pulled) would be ideal. I will give this a try. Just "2019" alone was converting to 7/1/1905. Again, really odd result.

Great video! I currently have to work with documents that are formatted where there are repeated tables separated by blank row and the next tables "category". The category text is entered in the same column as each item description. I want to unpivot that so that there is a row with the category for each of the items listed in that table. It's similar but too different from any of these examples. It's killing me to manually add a new column, copy and paste that category text next to all of the items in that subtable. I don't know if I'm doing a great job explaining it. I do love that you went through these common scenarios! Thanks so much for the share.

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

You can add a custom column that checks for a blank cell in one of the header rows, if it's blank it brings in the category name and then copies it down.

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Thank you! When there is only one column not being unpivoted, and you choose Unpivot, it will actually insert the Table.UnpivotOtherColumns function. However, if there is more than one column being unpivoted, choosing 'Unpivot Other Columns' is good idea 👍

Hi Mynda. Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Just a query about the purpose of adding the index column for the last example. I am wondering if you still can do it without using the index column? Thanks😊

[@MyOnlineTrainingHub]

Thanks, Kebin. In the Repeating rows example you need to add an index column so that when we Pivot the data in the next step we don't get the Expression Error "There were too many elements in the enumeration to complete the operation". This error is typically caused when there are duplicate values in the column being Pivoted.

Great video. It really really is. I do have one issue with it though. In the "real world"(!), people who send unstructured data invariably make subtle changes to the format each month (assuming monthly). An easy example would be your third, where the blank rows are all a uniform pattern. I sighed when I saw this bit as it doesn't reflect painful reality. And this is an easy example. This goes for many of your videos. I'd love to see some more complex examples where you try to straighten out data that has variable formats.
