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.

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.

@tmb8807 18 күн бұрын

Cool. Presumably the last one is dependent on sort order before you apply the grouping?

love it, I tried it in google sheets query(HSTACK(filter(QUERY(A2:D,"select Col1, Col3, sum(Col4) group by Col1,Col3"),choosecols(QUERY(A2:D,"select Col1, Col3, sum(Col4) group by Col1,Col3"),1)""),byrow(ArrayFormula(byrow(UNIQUE(TOCOL(A2:A&C2:C)),LAMBDA(key,key))),LAMBDA(key,textjoin(", ",true,unique(filter(B2:B,A2:A&C2:C=key)))))),"select * label Col1 'Year', Col2 'Co. Name',Col3 'Sales total', Col4 'Sales person'")

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?

@carlosdias9718 23 күн бұрын

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.

@sanju4295 24 күн бұрын

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?

Great Video as usual from you dear Chandeep ♥....we could have date range and period as output for the last trick. Branch manager from so to so date and period 💡

Yes we can, we'll have to modify the MCode slightly for extracting the date range.

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

@alexbarbucristi 24 күн 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.

@sujithkamath 24 күн бұрын

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 24 күн бұрын

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

@sujithkamath 23 күн 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 👍👍

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?
