You're BRILLIANT, Mike Girvin! I appreciate you and your teaching so much. As an aspiring data analyst, this type of education is so enriching. Thank you for sharing this to the global community - you're a genius.
Thank you Mike for the video. I enjoyed making the formulas. The pivot tables are really rewarding also because reports can be made so easy, including the chart and slicers. Updating the data, tables, formulas charts and pivots with a new source file is amazing, and a task I can practice more because it make me nervous as easy as it is. Thank you for showing all these things.
You are welcome for all these things, N Sancho1!!!! With this video and the next 4 videos over the next 4 Mondays, it should be a LOT of Data Analysis fun : )
Hi MIke, May I suggest that instead of going back to the original Fact Table sheet location and pressing Alt+N+V each time, you could just Copy/Paste the already created pivot table. That keeps all the formatting, and you just play around with PivotTable Fields pane to do whatever you want. I've noticed that's quicker. I am a big fan of your work, however, so please keep up with those great posts you've been creating
I always look forward to these videos and this is something I'm now working on in work. This is an incredibly informative series. Thank you Mike for creating you are the best!

I am sure you know this Mike but I have never heard you say it. If you right click on a field in the PivotTable Fields area you can add a slicer from there too.

Great teaching, wish I found this video 2 years ago, hope I can still ask questions. Around 26:00: when placing the 'Sale column' for the 2nd time into the 'Value area' of 'Field List panel', a '∑ Values' automatically pop up into the 'Column area', but when I follow along with my own data set, the '∑ Values' end up in the 'Row area' instead. Was lost for a while for not able to replicate the '% Change column'. Eventually found out I can just move the '∑ Values' from 'Row area' to 'Column area', but still curious to know how Excel automatically determine which area to add in the '∑ Values' by default.
Hi Mike @ExcelIsFun, You mentioned that the data has to be in a table to use the data analysis tool. I seldom put my data in a table and create PivotTables using that data. Is there a reason it allows me to use the data in a non-proper data set? Also, thank you so much for you! I have learned a lot and it has helped me in my role tremendously.
There is a workaround for the limitation you mentioned for standard pivot table. Which is by using 'Calculated Field and Items'. Correct me if i am wrong.
It is always a pleasure listening to you. Even dough I was familiar with everything from this video (from your previous classes), I was really enjoying it. 👍
Excellent refresher video. One question I always have is related to the proper setting of items that look like numbers, but you may not want to treat them like numbers. In your case here it was the product ID. I have this with general ledger account numbers and customer numbers. I don’t want them to be subject to arithmetic operations (add, subtract, etc). Would you leave them as whole numbers or convert them to text?
You can definitely convert then to text, if you prefer. However, for lookups, merges and relationships, if the number is text on one side, it must be text on the other also. If it is a number, they must both be numbers. They are not considered equivalent if one is text and one is number.
Mike for some strange reason when i used my own data and dropped dates in the row section of the pivot table, i didnt get the quarter, years and month. Any help?
It been a great learning experience just following you channel. I have been stuck with a large data set, to find out what are the exact lines which are form the open item balance. I need to do a clearing exercise where i need to match single debit against multiple credits. Is there any way to do that, the data is for more than 3k line items ? . Please, If there is any previous session a link to that would be also very helpful.
Your page is life saving! Do you have videos on how to create your own portfolio? Do you know where we can practice our own data or do we create our own?
@@excelisfun for a Data Analayst role we have to create our own profile using tableau (which is what I’m learning in school), SQL and excel projects? Where can I practice more examples for pivot tables, power Query, formulas and charts? I am trying to build my LinkedIn portfolio as a beginner
@@briajones1203 I have 1000s of videos, all with files below them, if that helps. Just search my channel. Or watch the intro video on the home page and check out class playlists.
Hi Mike. Awesome Video #1 for EDA!! It is packed full of great tips, tricks and techniques for both the experienced and the beginner. I always learn something new and refresh something old when I watch your videos which is why ExcelIsFun is the #1 destination for EXCEL training, learning and inspiration!. Looking forward to #2 :)) Thumbs up!!
@@excelisfun Hi Mike. Since I have watched and studied many of your past series (EDAB, MSPTDA, etc.), much of this was review which is still great to keep the concepts fresh. Things I did pick up: 1. Noticed that even though you imported a .txt file, the M code function is = Csv.Document() vs. Txt.Document(); 2. Previously, had not noticed the green bar or icon change when dragging fields to the drop regions when creating a Pivot Table; 3. Previously, had not noticed the Load Status or Data Sources references when hovering over an existing Query Connection in the sidebar; 4. Did not know that now Pivot Tables use the same cache on subsequent PT creations after the first (thought it was necessary to copy and paste from the first one to keep the same cache); 5. Thanks for the reminder on "grain of the table" when discussing monthly average; 6. Previously always modified data source by going back into PQ editor and clicking the gear icon or directly modifying M code.. thanks for pointing out Get Data -> Data Source Settings from the worksheet. Those are what I can recall. Also, I noticed that you now default your Report Layout to Tabular Form when creating a PT. Some viewers might get confused by the different look if they use the EXCEL default for Report Layout of Compact Form. Easy to change, but might not be self evident to a beginner. Those are my thoughts. Even though lots of review, you can never repeat and reinforce your good methods and concepts enough. It pays dividends when you are working creatively on your own and you must draw from yourself as to what to do next or how to tackle a challenge. Working through your examples and seeing how you seamlessly flow from one thing to the next is very instructive and inspirational :)) Hope my comments are useful to you. Thumbs up!!
@@wayneedmondson1065 #4 is a good one to know for sure. If you ever group and then need to have a PivotTable not grouped, you can get to old three step wizard which DOES create a new cache each time" Alt, D, P : ) Yes, I need to remember to tell viewers about Tabular Layout and the option to make it permanent. Your comments are very helpful. Thanks Teammate Wayne : ) : ) : ) : )
This is good refresher, thanks Mike. One thing I am not too sure is about the short cut key for insert a pivot table, I am always doing it using Alt, N, V, why do you need to add a T after V now?
Alt, N, V worked in Excel 2016 and a few others, but in the latest version of Microsoft 365, they moved the data connectors from the Create PivotTable dialog box to the PivotTable drop down. If Alt, N, V works, just use it, but later in updates, you will have to use the T or D. I made a video about this: ruclips.net/video/ohkT4Zhk8PU/видео.html
@@excelisfun Mike, Amazing video presentation as always. Was thinking about how much time it took to present this video! Your skills are extensive. Was looking for a way to support you and couldn't find a way outside of merch. Question: I also use Alt + N, V on Microsoft 365 not Alt + N, V, T. Does this mean that my 365 isn't updating properly or are these the steps at 10-May-2021?

@@rastkogligoric833 O, I did not understand your original question. I understand now, it was just the labels that did not show and you saw the generic "Row Label". Nice detective work, Rastko : )
Hi Mike, It's amazing how much we learn in all your videos. I have one question, if I create a query to transform the data from a csv file and the file changes everyday, will the query still work with the new file. Should I run the query first with the new file and then delete the old file to show the latest data... If I can program this then I will make it dynamic saving us a lot of time. Thank you. Looking forward to next Monday.
I show how to change the file or folder path in this video. But if you just name the new file with the new data the same name that the query uses, then the query can just be refreshed. Maybe, file from yesterday - you change name, and rename new file with the previous file name - do this when you drop the new file. Otherwsie, next video shows how to get Power Query to see new files with new data : ) Next Monday!
@@excelisfun Thanks Mike. I will try this. I had the same thought process. I followed your EDAB course last year during lockdown. Your videos kept me company over the last year and I am so grateful for how much I have progressed because of you. I am also starting your statistics playlist...but this 4 part series is a great refresher....
@@saratharavabhoomi It will be a great refresher and it has the new user interface and options and things. Plus the Context Transition stuff next video will be cool too : )
E-DAB is zero to intermediate. MSPTDA is advanced with lots of coding with M Code and DAX. This one EDA will be a combo of both, condensed into 4 videos, with all the latest user interfaces and updated items. The intent of this class is for a beginner to be able to get up to speed with Data Analysis. However, it has advanced topics like Filter Context, Columnar Database and Context Transition (all in next video). I will use this in my final class for graduating Highline students so they know all the data analysis topics that I expect them to take, at a minimum, into the working world.
.CSV files can be openned with Word too or they need another type of software. They are kind of difficult due to comma delimeter and comma as decimal marker in database number format
“Comma” can be misleading as not all CSV files are comma separated. For instance, saving an Excel workbook in .csv file format will use semicolon as separator if the system’s decimal separator is comma (which is quite common).
Dear Sir, facing an issue in the columns, why am I not able to able to get the "Month column" separately in the pivot table. It is embedded along with the years columns----the visual image would be something like this Years Sum of Sale($) 2021 404515 Jan 12245 Feb 30 Mar 11553
Not yet part of a playlist. I have two more videos to post, and then I will create the playlist. For right now, they sit at the top of my RUclips homepage in most recent videos.

Hi Mike! This stuff is great, but I have Excel 2016, and while importing the source table, Power Query is not an option. The old style import from txt pane appears. If I format it as a data table, I loose the connection. Please provide a solution. (Since I don't have the XLOOKUP function, I willl use the INDEX/MATCH combination.) Thanks in advance.
Dear Mike , i've more than 100 different subtitles in my journal entries, so how can i move it to the other column, so that i can have clean data, pls kindly help.
Every time I go to "Import external data" in "Data" and select txt file, "text import wizard" opens and not PowerQuery. Everything from there goes haywire and I m not able to follow the steps. How can you sort this?

VERY beautiful logos and music intro!!!!!!!!!! The dude who made them is sooooo rad!!!!
Outstanding! My best regards from Limón, Costa Rica!
Thanks for the regards from Limon!!!!
Why couldnt we use a helper column for the month on the fsales table? Use the Text function to provide the month name?
It is always a pleasure listening to you. Even dough I was familiar with everything from this video (from your previous classes), I was really enjoying it. 👍
I am so glad that the videos are a pleasure! You are are REALLY good with Excel, so I am glad that you can still watch and enjoy : ) : )
@@excelisfun can't get enough, and looking forward to another video!
@@ljubicar1987 Woo Hoo : )
Excellent refresher video. One question I always have is related to the proper setting of items that look like numbers, but you may not want to treat them like numbers. In your case here it was the product ID. I have this with general ledger account numbers and customer numbers. I don’t want them to be subject to arithmetic operations (add, subtract, etc). Would you leave them as whole numbers or convert them to text?
You can definitely convert then to text, if you prefer. However, for lookups, merges and relationships, if the number is text on one side, it must be text on the other also. If it is a number, they must both be numbers. They are not considered equivalent if one is text and one is number.
Mike for some strange reason when i used my own data and dropped dates in the row section of the pivot table, i didnt get the quarter, years and month. Any help?
It been a great learning experience just following you channel.
I have been stuck with a large data set, to find out what are the exact lines which are form the open item balance. I need to do a clearing exercise where i need to match single debit against multiple credits. Is there any way to do that, the data is for more than 3k line items ? . Please, If there is any previous session a link to that would be also very helpful.
Thanks Mike. Can't wait for the rest. : ) : )
Me either : ) : )
Thank you, i was waiting for this video since announcement.
It is very helpful and easy to understand. 👍😍
Waiting for coming Monday's
Glad it is easy to understand! Mondays are going to be awesome!!!!!
Your page is life saving! Do you have videos on how to create your own portfolio? Do you know where we can practice our own data or do we create our own?
I am not sure what you are asking. But the data in every video can be downloaded in the links below the videos : )
@@excelisfun for a Data Analayst role we have to create our own profile using tableau (which is what I’m learning in school), SQL and excel projects? Where can I practice more examples for pivot tables, power Query, formulas and charts? I am trying to build my LinkedIn portfolio as a beginner
@@briajones1203 I have 1000s of videos, all with files below them, if that helps. Just search my channel. Or watch the intro video on the home page and check out class playlists.
@@excelisfun thank you so much!
Thank you so much Mr Mike
You are welcome, so much : ) : )
Great job sir.
Glad you like it : )
@ExcellsFun- What version of excel are you using because I can't find few of the tools or functions you're using
Hi Mike. Awesome Video #1 for EDA!! It is packed full of great tips, tricks and techniques for both the experienced and the beginner. I always learn something new and refresh something old when I watch your videos which is why ExcelIsFun is the #1 destination for EXCEL training, learning and inspiration!. Looking forward to #2 :)) Thumbs up!!
Thanks for the comprehensively kind words about the video : ) : ) : ) Since you are an Excel Master, what did you learn from this video?
@@excelisfun Hi Mike. Since I have watched and studied many of your past series (EDAB, MSPTDA, etc.), much of this was review which is still great to keep the concepts fresh. Things I did pick up: 1. Noticed that even though you imported a .txt file, the M code function is = Csv.Document() vs. Txt.Document(); 2. Previously, had not noticed the green bar or icon change when dragging fields to the drop regions when creating a Pivot Table; 3. Previously, had not noticed the Load Status or Data Sources references when hovering over an existing Query Connection in the sidebar; 4. Did not know that now Pivot Tables use the same cache on subsequent PT creations after the first (thought it was necessary to copy and paste from the first one to keep the same cache); 5. Thanks for the reminder on "grain of the table" when discussing monthly average; 6. Previously always modified data source by going back into PQ editor and clicking the gear icon or directly modifying M code.. thanks for pointing out Get Data -> Data Source Settings from the worksheet. Those are what I can recall. Also, I noticed that you now default your Report Layout to Tabular Form when creating a PT. Some viewers might get confused by the different look if they use the EXCEL default for Report Layout of Compact Form. Easy to change, but might not be self evident to a beginner. Those are my thoughts. Even though lots of review, you can never repeat and reinforce your good methods and concepts enough. It pays dividends when you are working creatively on your own and you must draw from yourself as to what to do next or how to tackle a challenge. Working through your examples and seeing how you seamlessly flow from one thing to the next is very instructive and inspirational :)) Hope my comments are useful to you. Thumbs up!!
@@wayneedmondson1065 #4 is a good one to know for sure. If you ever group and then need to have a PivotTable not grouped, you can get to old three step wizard which DOES create a new cache each time" Alt, D, P : ) Yes, I need to remember to tell viewers about Tabular Layout and the option to make it permanent.
Your comments are very helpful. Thanks Teammate Wayne : ) : ) : ) : )
@@excelisfun Thanks Mike! My pleasure to contribute :)) Go Team!!
In 30:10, in the pivot we can add a calculated field equals to =sales/12, without a need to an intermediate table
This is good refresher, thanks Mike. One thing I am not too sure is about the short cut key for insert a pivot table, I am always doing it using Alt, N, V, why do you need to add a T after V now?
Alt, N, V worked in Excel 2016 and a few others, but in the latest version of Microsoft 365, they moved the data connectors from the Create PivotTable dialog box to the PivotTable drop down. If Alt, N, V works, just use it, but later in updates, you will have to use the T or D. I made a video about this: ruclips.net/video/ohkT4Zhk8PU/видео.html
@@excelisfun Mike, Amazing video presentation as always. Was thinking about how much time it took to present this video! Your skills are extensive. Was looking for a way to support you and couldn't find a way outside of merch.
Question: I also use Alt + N, V on Microsoft 365 not Alt + N, V, T. Does this mean that my 365 isn't updating properly or are these the steps at 10-May-2021?
@@bencacace5491 The Alt, N, V, T is not fully released yet. It should be soon.

Great Class!
The next 3 Mondays should be great fun!
Guru Mike,how is it when u drag ''Date" to the Rows field,pivot automatically creates and labels columns as ''Years";"Quarters";"Dates"?
There is a setting to do this. If it does not do it for you, just right-click dates in Rows area and point to Group, then click Year and Date
@@excelisfun Field Settings/Layout and Print/Show item labels in tabular form did it for me!Thx :)
@@rastkogligoric833 O, I did not understand your original question. I understand now, it was just the labels that did not show and you saw the generic "Row Label". Nice detective work, Rastko : )
Super duper hit sir 💯💯💯💯💯💯☝️☝️👌👌👌
Glad you like the hit : )
Hi Mike, It's amazing how much we learn in all your videos. I have one question, if I create a query to transform the data from a csv file and the file changes everyday, will the query still work with the new file. Should I run the query first with the new file and then delete the old file to show the latest data... If I can program this then I will make it dynamic saving us a lot of time. Thank you. Looking forward to next Monday.
I show how to change the file or folder path in this video. But if you just name the new file with the new data the same name that the query uses, then the query can just be refreshed. Maybe, file from yesterday - you change name, and rename new file with the previous file name - do this when you drop the new file. Otherwsie, next video shows how to get Power Query to see new files with new data : ) Next Monday!
@@excelisfun Thanks Mike. I will try this. I had the same thought process. I followed your EDAB course last year during lockdown. Your videos kept me company over the last year and I am so grateful for how much I have progressed because of you. I am also starting your statistics playlist...but this 4 part series is a great refresher....
@@saratharavabhoomi It will be a great refresher and it has the new user interface and options and things. Plus the Context Transition stuff next video will be cool too : )
Amazing content.
Glad you think so!
Thank you, sir, for the video that you sent to me. I hope to watch your videos about the Visual Basic in Excel.
I do not tech VBA coding, only recorded Macros: ruclips.net/video/WKyN8e7XXjI/видео.html
Great video, as always
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Power Query is Data Make up Room .1)Get ugly Data from any source 2) Do Some Make up by Transforming to make it a " model"
3) Load to Show the world.
That is a clever analogy!!!
great job! thank you so much.
You are welcome so much!
Hi Mike, How do Dax Calculate day on Day changes excluding holidays and weekends? Thanks!
Thanks!!
You are welcome, Junior : )
EPIC! THANKS MIKE!
Flad you like it, Nika!!!
Thank you sir
You are welcome!
Mike, how does this course compare to your MSPTDA course (which was awesome, by the way!)?
E-DAB is zero to intermediate. MSPTDA is advanced with lots of coding with M Code and DAX. This one EDA will be a combo of both, condensed into 4 videos, with all the latest user interfaces and updated items. The intent of this class is for a beginner to be able to get up to speed with Data Analysis. However, it has advanced topics like Filter Context, Columnar Database and Context Transition (all in next video). I will use this in my final class for graduating Highline students so they know all the data analysis topics that I expect them to take, at a minimum, into the working world.
Also, this four video class compares each tool in more careful detail as the class proceeds.
@@excelisfun Thanks, Mike - you're the best!
@@JSUG4219 Go Team!!!!
Amazing!
Thank you for this super lessons
Glad you liked it!
.CSV files can be openned with Word too or they need another type of software. They are kind of difficult due to comma delimeter and comma as decimal marker in database number format
“Comma” can be misleading as not all CSV files are comma separated. For instance, saving an Excel workbook in .csv file format will use semicolon as separator if the system’s decimal separator is comma (which is quite common).
@@TSSC thanks for your help
Always amazing, Thank.
Glad it is amazing for you, Sai!!!!
REAL FUN Mike THKS
I liked that video!
Glad you liked it!!!

In 2016, it expands in a single column with Column name Data Labels
Dear Sir,
facing an issue in the columns, why am I not able to able to get the "Month column" separately in the pivot table. It is embedded along with the years columns----the visual image would be something like this

Glad this helps, JB Racing!!!! What do you race? I race BMX : )
Question, in section 7 how do you get the headers for Year in a separate cell from the date? For example, Years header is in B3 and Date is in C3. I'm following along and my pivot has them stacked in the same column.
Did you figure out how to separate the year and date in the pivot table
@@seandre59 no not yet

Hi Mike! This stuff is great, but I have Excel 2016, and while importing the source table, Power Query is not an option. The old style import from txt pane appears. If I format it as a data table, I loose the connection. Please provide a solution. (Since I don't have the XLOOKUP function, I willl use the INDEX/MATCH combination.) Thanks in advance.
Open csv file, copy data, paste into Excel, then manually fix data , like with join formula =Cell1&" "&Cell2
