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!
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!!!
Two thumbs up from me. I've been working with Excel since the start, and did in fact have to hand massage lots of data sets manually or with the complex formulae you mention. If Power Query had been available then I would have saved months of work.
Incredible! I've been training PowerPivot, PowerQuery, PivotTables for a very long time and didn't know there were such amazing tools to fix these data issues! Wow! Thank you so much!
I am an excel enthusiast and was soooo excited watching this video...I absolutely loved it... learned something so complex in such understanding and well explained tutorial... Thank you so much...
Thank you so much. I've recently started an online business that involves Microsoft Excel Power Query and your video was definitely an inspiration for that. Awesome teacher. I'd recommend you any day.
Brilliant! The more of your videos I watched the more impressed I am with Power Query's capabilities, to say nothing of the easy-to-follow and effective teaching methods you employ. Great work, and thank you! I am making a mental note of the work I can save, having previously used a witches' brew of clunky formulae to harvest data that I have to re-familiarize with each time I do the occasional work. Pity I can only upvote you once on this.
@@MyOnlineTrainingHub It's been a great learning experience for the past week. I joined your site and posted a question there, and I'm hoping to get some guidance on my little project (where PQ reduced my data collection/massaging time from 5 minutes - with risk of errors - to 18 SECONDS, error-free). Ciao, Mynda!
Thank you Ma'am. I try to watch all your videos. I have learned power query, dashboard, advance pivot, pivot chart from your video. It helped me a lot to do my work properly and more efficiently and it makes my life easy and shortens my report making procedures.
First of all, it’s incredible how it looks like every problem has a solution with this method, how someone thought of all the options. Second, you’re a godsent, Miss, you’re my favorite Excel and data youtuber. I just sent a comment in another video about me having a problem with a very messy table and YT recommended me this video (I haven’t had seen yet) in my TL. This made me realize I have to keep practicing, there’s a lot to learn!
I work as a Power BI developer and I'm a fresher. Today I encountered a similar problem at my work and BAM! You're video just saved me so many hours of research! Thank you so much
Thank you Mynda! You have done a fantastic job to explain the concepts of power query, and this makes a big difference in my life. Your deep knowledge of excel, tone of voice and speed in the demonstrations are just perfectly blended in the video and it is entertaining to watch your CZcams channel. Two thumbs up!
Of all your very helpful videos, this one will actually save me the most time, and help me the most. It gives solutions to problems I've occasionally had over the years, but have lately been confronted with over and over again. Thank you!
You are awesome, thank you. The repeating data issue has been driving me mad for weeks. I love the fill up method idk why I never thought of it as I’ve been using fill down.
Very very very helpful lesson for training my power query skills every weekend - hopefully I can use it at my work between the weeks :-). Also very pleasant that the file is available, thank you so much for that !!! 😊
Thanks Mynda, I've already seen many power query preparation, never check how to start to prepare my data and the video was 2017! It's helpful to see that there's an start, thanks for help, be blessed.
Wow! I have been a subscriber for quite a while, and this is the first time I have seen this video. I have been struggling with trying to use Power Query to get Quicken reports in a use able format to use in Pivot Tables. I will use some of the techniques from this video to hopefully finally have success. Thank you! I find all your videos excellent.
Thank you! Hopefully, Power Query can sort out your Quicken reports. If you get stuck, feel free to post your question and sample Excel file on our forum where someone can help you further: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-forum
Thanks, few days ago I was in search of transforming data as your last example but failed. I have asked the way out from a well known forum but no response was given to me till today. However I have made it by the help of PQ and formulas in excel. If I came to this video then I could safe me from a lot of hard working. I have learned a lot from your tutorials. Thanks again.
What an excellent tutorial, Mynda, it's a pleasure to watch your lessons, you have the gift to explain things in a fun and interactive way. Thank you very much!!
I like what you done, by simplifying it to enable people like me to understand it in more depth. i knew this feature some how lost it object and ways. thanks for such beautiful videos. Just one more thing your voice makes it pleasing to hear. :) continue your good work !! more power to you...
Brilliant video, some of the data we get from third parties is something I'd be ashamed to send out myself! This is the perfect antidote to fix it. Thank you!
I know that this video is 6 years old now but you have saved me a great deal of stress and grey hair, thank you for making this wonderful and informative video.

No more copying and pasting now then, Jared :-) Glad it'll save you some time.
This was the biggest amounts of "AHA's" I've said in ages! Amazing tutorial!

These are perfect examples to solve many of the every day's issues when managing data models!!!
