Final takeaway: Take the output of #PowerQuery, feed it back into itself, and build a self-growing forecast history system—just make sure to remove duplicates before appending.
If you work with forecasts, budgets, or projections that change over time, this is a simple but powerful pattern. 👍

These little fellas are a real step forward though.
The "Query" one lets you choose between viewing the whole query formula or just that step. The "Diagram view" lets you see a new interface of the relationships. It's messy but lots more functionality.

Microsoft obligingly providing extra material for this thread by getting rid of the Quick access toolbar in #PowerQuery. Needless vandalism. I'm utterly reliant on using Alt+2 to open the editor window. A slap in the face for those of us trying to take the product seriously.

Screen grab of the – now empty – area where the quick access toolbar used to reside, and a higlight of where I have to click from here on in.

Ooh. The September update of #PowerBI now has icons for each step in #PowerQuery. Looks a bit busy with my use of a ♠ to highlight unstraightforward steps, but that's my issue!
What do you think about this?

Screen grab of the "applied steps" window in Power Query with some example names and the new (and my old) icons  showing. "Source" is preceded by a csv icon, Filtered Rows by a filter icon etc.

In this new video, I show the different types of blanks that can show up in #PivotTables built from the #DataModel. 🙃 If you work with #Excel PivotTables, #PowerPivot, #DAX measures, or #PowerQuery, this will help you understand where blanks come from and how to deal with them: youtu.be/fnVUJmHUTwc

#PowerQuery caches preview values inside the file, so the Query Editor and hover cards can show stale results even after Refresh All has loaded fresh data to the worksheet. 🔄 It's even more likely if background data previews have been turned off to speed up large workbooks.

I knocked up a little system to automatically track the files I've been working on. #AutoHotKey notes down any changes of the active window in a .csv, #PowerQuery tidies it up in #Excel. Not sure if the conditional formatting is a bit much: it's uncouth but useful, I guess.

In this Monkey Shorts, I explore a #PowerQuery trick to fix non-aligned data. It all started with a PDF import where data shifted into different columns on different rows.👎
It all ended with success, and a recipe to solve this challenge for others!👍https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC_gRjjCnm0

What a great way to wrap up the week! Today, I'm leading some training for a private client, exploring the awesomeness of #PowerQuery. 😎 If you spend time manually gathering, cleaning, and transforming data, you know how tedious it can be. PQ will change your work forever in #Excel or #PowerBI!

When you first open Query Sleuth in our Monkey Tools #Excel Add-in, you’ll notice the queries are colour coded with up to 4 different colours: 🟠🟡🔵🟢 This adds a bit of extra insight around the query load destinations. Learn more at mkyt.ca/querysleuth

Query Sleuth
Queries are colour coded to add a bit of extra insight. By default:
- Yellow: Query is loaded as a "Connection Only"
- Green: Query is loaded to the data model
- Blue: Query is loaded to an Excel table
- Orange: Query is loaded to both the data model and an Excel table
