Great example. It forces someone to logically think about what to do, and allow PQ to do the rest. It's a powerful tool. Thanks for your insight and great explanation!
Chandeep... You are awesome man.... Your content is great... I work in power bi day in and day out... But after seeing your videos... I feel... There is still a lot to learn
Thankyou Goodly, your info helped a little. I have a very messy daily data dump to clean up every day coming from external software within the company. The cleanup of the data becomes crucial in enabling an accounting reconciliation of the data, and until the data is clean, the manual reconciliation process is long and arduous and takes me away from my other work. I have found no one yet on You Tube, who has the exact problem I have and provides an exact solution, but bit by bit I am putting pieces together from different people like you that will hopefully give me the right solution i need.
Thanks, brother I am planning a project management solution, this will help the resourcing part of it and bring the necessary data through the the pivot tables.
Thanks. I would have used if column A = null then give me column B else null to get the months . But happy to learn this technique of isolating cells by data type . Also, I love your technique of getting the date/month/year . I have projects that I would like to visit after watching this vid.
Thanks for the video, helped me a lot. Just one question wouldn't it be better to add one more column called present/absent and shift the "H" value there and replace "H" with 0 in the attendance column, so the whole column becomes numeric and we can perform numeric operation like sum on it ??
Thank you very much Chandeep, I have to solve this problem every year to get family rosters into a Google calendar - I usually spent time getting the data manually in a row then do the transformations 🤦♂️. I will try this for next year
I like how you used that Value.Type function to isolate the date. I had a similar problem to solve and used the fact that US dates have a / in them. I like yours better as it would be more generic.
Awesome Awesome Awesome man.. You are rock star ... Dear please make a video that how you learn and journey of Power Query. I have asked you in one of previous video....
We talk about Dax so much but forget that Power Query is so much effective at doing lot of things too. Much better than python or other languages to cleanse data and transformation.
I am doing the similar power query data exploitation but in different ways. I found yours to be more dynamic. Like, when you needed to add a custom column containing only the months, you applied the logic that, if, column 2 date type is month, then bring column 2 else null. I used to apply the following logic, If column one is null, then bring column 2 else null. Also, I would have done the specific date extraction differently because in your logic, I was relying on column number logic (-1). I would have kept the row containing “team” in column 1 and Would have separated out the date and unpivoted. Thereby using the file date instead of my own logic. The date combining logic was very cool though(bringing day from one column and month and year from another)
Thank you for the nice video . It was really helpful. Request please make some videos related to 1mmt,3mmt,6mmt,YTD and calendar year and comparing them with previous year or prior period. Also, some tips and tricks using time intelligence dax
Man... when my boss says "make a report, heres my data, and every time I change it, i want it to update" and I say "sure thing boss, can you organize it in this format?" And he says "no, I prefer pretty colors and 4 tables with 3 sub tables each all on the same sheet, make it work" I can now say "sure thing boss man"
Hey Chandeep, It was really a well presented solution. Right now I have been struggling to clean the Mutual funds Consolidated Account Statement that comes in PDF but with no success using power query. Just wanted to know can that also be cleaned and get exported to excel. If you want to have a look at the data please confirm will share the same.
Fantastic sir... it's just amazing would you please suggest any dataset examples to hone my data cleaning skills on power query.........if you could please help me sir.....
Actually, amazing 👏 but I am facing an issue with knowing which function it needs to use on most of PQ data ... I know ( that's why you should take my course !... but I trying to do my best, but 😢 the result is above 50%..so could you provide with me the tips & tricks to be follow
Hi Chandeep!, thanks for your videos. Do you have any advice for my case where I have an excel file downloaded from an accounting system and this file is nothing but a banch of grouped rows and number of levels (subgroups) vary all in one column. The report which is the goal is supposed to be dynamic. Is there a way to transform grouped excel file into flat file? Thanks in advance
Thanks for explaining the custom column usage of converting the number to the required date. Please do explain how to use PQ when the raw data is 40,000+ rows and is cleaned and converted to the required format, when we go to the query for necessary correction PQ takes time or msg is displayed something has gone wrong.
Lekker Chandeep! Your biggest fan in Africa🌍 Do you have a solution wherby one can take change entered data BACK TO the the original complex date template shown above? Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks chandeep for this video please I have two issues firstly, what if the data type of the date it date/time? With this your formula for extracting date brings error. How can I adjusted it? I tried changing the data type of column 2 to date but it destroyed other datas in that column to errors. Secondly can you help on my power bi date changing from 2022 to 1899 automatically.
Thank you sir, i have a doubt in this video that in this example after unpivote, the null values are missing i mean that the null should get zero am not getting can u please help me...
Hi Sir, how are you? I recently finished your power query tutorials. Now, I'm learning Dax from basic. But, Recently I came across a term "Granularity" while learning Dax from ExcelIsFun. I am unable to understand why did he enforce on this term repeatedly? Please kindly make a video on this topic.
Hi Chandeep , when i upload the fill to power query and tried to extract the date i got this Erro (Expression.Error: We cannot apply field access to the type Function. Details: Value=[Function] Key=Column3 If Value.Type [Column2] = Date.Type then [Column] else null Pls. advise
Hi Goodly, thank you so much for this. I have been able to replicate it. However, I wanted to confirm, so at the end of the steps I tried to convert the date type to UK date structure using locale, however this didn't work. Then I tried slitting the individual dates, rearranging and merging them back, but when I converted the data type to date it showed error. Is there a reason why.
Hi Goodly, this is awesome. Please I will like to ask is step three (removing other columns) necessary, cos I can only see 32 columns in mine. Are you assuming that the other columns are invisible and you don't want it to disrupt your clean up. In summary what is the purpose of step 3. I will appreciate your response. Also how did you remove "other columns". Did you manually type the formular or .........
