    I saw kind manipulations with emails at Leila, but i didnt dig into this topic (i didnt see, what can i do with that). But now i know, where i'll try your precious technique, cause before this moment i would have to save that files, prepare them with vba and after update with pq and finally get the data i need.😌
    I hope i'll be able to apply this lesson tomorrow at work.
    Great thanks, boss!🤗

      ​@@GoodlyChandeepbig fan. Quick question please. Does it mean then I can't delete that email from my mailbox or I risk PQ not extracting those emails anymore? Also would this make me a single point of failure as my colleagues have no access to my email? Finally, what happens if some attachments are of an excel doc as attachments and some CSV, do I need multiple queries to do the same extraction?

    That's cool! I have a daily parsing reports and I used to use macro that copied all of the attachements to a certain folder to wich PQ was connected. That didn't take a lot of time in my case but direct connection is definetly better :)

      @@sass520 I mean connection to inbox directly from PQ without having to save attachements to a folder first. It's not direct query.

      The only concern I have is, what if someone emailed me at 11am, and then sent an email again at 2pm with corrections. How does pquery treat it? Will that be treated as duplicates which means will mKe the table bigger?

  • @tezbriz

    Brilliant video, just what I was looking for. I have everything working fine. I used power query to clear the data down to just 3 columns and is updated regularly. How would I add a column that shows when the record on each row was last updated. ? When I start drilling down through the attachments I can see a date and time column of when the email arrived but haven’t been able to include it in the final query data I load.

    @roywilson9580 Před rokem +3

    Thanks for another interesting and informative video! I can that this could be a good tool to have in your arsenal but think I would prefer to save the attachments to a directory that way there is less chance of losing the data if an email is deleted or archived and the query will continue to work if the responsibilty for tracking these data is passed on to someone else within the organisation. Of course if you want to make yourself indespensible ensuring the query is reading from your and only your inbox would be a good way to ensure continued employment and leave the client screwed if he decides to replace you with a minimum wage kid LOL!
