    I use both types all the time.
    One thing I miss in PP is the grouping feature in the rows from std. pvt tables.
    Building that into PP requires a ‘more advanced’ knowledge of DAX.
    BTW: DAX as a formula language is quite cryptic IMO, or as Alberto F. puts is: DAX is simple but it’s not easy.
    Still, the added power of PP is undeniable.

    • @chandoo_

    • @GeertDelmulle
      @GeertDelmulle 10 месяцев назад +3

      @@chandoo_ Thanks for that referenced video. :-)
      The thing is: it is not generic enough: I use/need the grouping for creating histograms, which in std. Pivot tables is easy to do,… and to reconfigure on the spot. (Nowadays you can also use dynamic arrays for this, as well.)
      And I mean: for more than ‘just’ dates.
      In order to do this dynamically (variable bin size) you need to use more advanced DAX functions (…)
      If you have a way of doing that (and a video to show it), I’d be happy to watch it. :-)

    • @chandoo_
      @chandoo_  10 месяцев назад +9

      I understand. My preferred method is to use Power Query and create "conditional column" with arbitrary bucket boundaries. If you have Power BI, you can natively group values just like we did in Excel.

    Power Pivot and Power Query are very powerful indeed. My complaint is that it's a lot of clicking and submenus. Almost immediately you get into DAX (for Power Pivot) and M language (for Power Query). Alternatively, you can use Python to clean your data, calculate what you need and write an excel file for plotting and sharing. At the end it's a matter of personal preference, but I find Python applicable to a wider set of problems although it does not fully substitute excel (for me at least).

    • @shadowlynxv6082

    • @FranFerioli
      @FranFerioli 8 месяцев назад

      @@shadowlynxv6082 I don't think so and it is not what I meant. I use Python to format the data and write a table/excel file. It is then very easy to import clean data with power query in an excel file I use for visualisation (copy-paste also works for relative small sets). The problem with power query/pivot is that it becomes exponentially more difficult if you have to manipulate data.

    I still use Power Pivot every day even though I've moved on to Power BI. Measure portability and the advantage of DAX measures over calculated fields/calculated items in standard Pivot Tables are key selling points of Modern Excel, aka Power Pivot. And Power Query gives you reusability of data transformations so you spend less time manipulating data & more time analyzing your operations.
