  • You want to get started with Power BI, but are not sure how? In this video I show you how to go from Excel to Power BI - step by step. In this complete walkthrough you learn about how to move from a normal pivot table in Excel to Power Pivot and use Power Query for data cleaning. You will see that once you know how they work in Excel, the transition to Power BI is quite straight forward. In Power BI you will learn all the things you need to know to get up and running.

But when CZcams recommended your video, I turn out to a fan of your teaching, the way you introduced everything. Watching your videos for a couple of weeks and this is your may be longest video. But How it come to end tells about your teaching. Thank you Bas for helping everyone...

  • @TerrorPeanut
    @TerrorPeanut Před 2 lety

    We get a lot of data from third parties in the 'Data combined' format with no keys. Do you know the easiest way to reverse engineer the lookup tables (account, product etc)? Power Query seems to take a while adding the generated keys to the raw data. Sql works well but ideally I'd want something more basic. Sorry if its a bit out of scope but I've been trying to get something workable for ages!

    I do have a question, (I'm a student from Finland), is it possible to combine real map regions into one, to create your own areas of interest on a map?
    I have managed to create my own custom map and drawn my areas onto it, that's all good and well. But, since these areas aren't "custom" or "made up", they are a combination of real world reagions, how could I for example, combine 3 western regions of a country on a map to make them act and respond as one single region and name that region "West"? I've been struggling with this for quite a while now, is there an answer?, is there already a video on it?

    Hi I'm looking for a way to combine min and sum. I have a big table.with sales amount for every day and for different products. I want to sum the amount of sales by product by date and to find the date with minimum amound sold. For example for product A for the last month i have sales every day and on 10.10.2022 i have the least amoun of sales which is 3. I want to show in a table the least amound sold by date by product for every month from the beggining of 2016 until now.

      Thanks, but i'm not sure that i explained what o wanted to do right. I have a row with 1 sale for a particular date and then a row with 2 sales for the same date i first want to sum this sales and then to find the date with minimum amound sold for every month from 2016 until now. I did the first part with a measure for sum sales amount and i showed it in a table by products and years and months and then used this table to create a visual. Now i have to get this total by date and show the date with the least amount sold and the amont itself. In excel i have done this buy making a pivot table for the first part and then copied this table and used it for a new pivot table that showes the min by dates for a particular product.
