I'm so glad I found your RUclips channel. I am doing some volunteer work and previously it took our volunteer treasurer 5+ hours to make the summary financial report that are distributed monthly. Your videos have allowed me to develop my basic Excel skills and automate and upgrade the reports. This video will help in the still time consuming task of cleaning up our source data. Thank you so much. I do have one problem - as I transfer values about, my formatting changes. Certain reports have unique formats due to their layouts, and the same information goes into different reports so setting the source format to match the final destination format doesn't work. If you point me in the right direction for this I would appreciate it.
never used power query before but i do data cleanup manually. will do this next time as we always receive revised data from our clients. this is far more efficient! Thank you so much. Big 4 auditor here. yeah wish me luck this busy season.
I've never worked with merge columns before. Thanks for sharing this golden nugget. This surely would make my life much easier than writing if statements.
Every day I do in my office place, I do same thing by manually data export to excel from Oracle database by "copy and move" making another worksheet not to destroy original format, Will try this time your rules and format, hopefully I will manage it. Thank you for your wonderful lesson and video.
I have used your videos to learn power query and introduce so many efficiencies for my team. Converting the currency with locale was so useful in automating a bank statement import from Euro format. Thank you for these videos!
An excellent job Leila. Let's hope that senior management (usually with little knowledge of data analysis) watch your video and open their eyes. Thank you!
It would be cool if you uploaded a file with data from the example.When you do everything with your own hands, it's better to remember.Amazing Leila.Amazing video.Thank you!
@@MrSupernova111 Which course you mean? I have subscribed Leila's Master Excel Power Query Beginner to Advanced (including M) course, but this training material is not included.
Fantastic video Leila. The Hot tip is at 14:50 frame. Not many people know that one can in fact do find and replace inside the formula. One can do find and replace the cell ranges in the formula as well. That's really pro way of using Excel. Thanks Cheers :)
Brilliant!! I work in finance and every reporting period we have to merge about 20 data tables, group the data by classification, and generate a client report by groupings which vary per client. About a year ago I created an Excel template using nothing but Excel functions. While the template works fine because there are only about a thousand rows of total data, updating the file manually each quarter takes a while because there are about 20 tables that must be added/appended manually. Also, the output page was challenging to create as I need to filter out blank rows and maintain the integrity of each grouping. Imagine a single client report with up to 20 data tables for each grouping. I'm going to re-haul the template using Power Query so in the future all we need to do is drop the client performance data and have Power Query merge and transform the other data directly from the source files (about 20) like you did here. Thank you for another amazing video! Cheers!
Sooooooooooo much to think about .... how can one person deliver sooooo much information so effortlessly? .... so good ... so good ... so good ... thank you ...thank you ... thank you ...
What a fantastic tutorial! I get files with European numbering system and I used to use to Substitute function in Excel to replace comma with dots and vice versa. Thanks to this video, I'll start using Power Query now.
Leila Many thanks for this, that really showed me how Power Query could help me as an accountant. I am enjoying your Power Query course on Udemy as well. Hopefully I will be an Excel power user soon.
I dont know why I watched this, I know how to do everything you've just explained. However..... Your videos are presented so well, the window/screen positioning and helpful Keyboard shortcuts and Highlighted overlays markers you put up make following these tutorials so good and helpfult o noobies. Great work! 👍
I enjoyed the fill function on Account. I wish I could use that. However data has account in the same column as date i want to remove I want to put account into its own column and date in its own column. How do I do that?
You always turn up when I am in desperate need of help!! I literally stopped right away to take notes! !! It coincide EXACTLY with what I was struggling to finish!! Thanks Leila!! 🤭 You have NO idea how you’re helping people to progress with their jobs!! I will NEVER forget you! 💋💋💋🌹
well done. But if this were my task to do, i would not remove the "absolute difference" column and the Sum rows (e.g. "Other Revenue") They are the perfect information to check your work for errors. In accounting and controlling, you always must assume that something will not add up correctly, and that you will have to search where the error originates. But i like the clean-up process.
AMAZING video. Data cleansing has been an ongoing nightmare and now I’m looking forward to using all your tricks.. nearly everything you covered will come in handy... THANK YOU
Thank you very much, you are The EXCEL ANGEL you changed my perception toward excel and data analysis, I am grateful that I meet you on RUclips, and i am thinking of subscribing to SkillShare to follow your courses and interact with you for some coaching, Thank you very much Leila.
Hi this is actually what I am doing in my daily business. I would however strongly recommend to use Excel export from SAP as it is more reliable. Otherwise it is always interesting to see the various approaches to a particular issue. Thanks 😊
Thanks for the great tutorial, Leila! But just in case others are trying to find another way to clean data, especially contact list, data appending will do the job instantly.
I wish that you offered beginning to intermediate/advanced accounting practice files and tutorials (interactive) - maybe in the future...this info is also great...
That was the most fantastic 20 min video on cleaning Data, and also includes a lot of tricks for fast work I always enjoy ur videos and waiting for more like this one. Thank u a lot for that.
Thanks Mam for Sharing This Video. It helped me in a big way. now I can save my Time on Daily Basis. Kindly also share full Video for Excel with update & Refresh Data from Different Excel File in one Excel File.
Thank you so much Leila. The issue I encounter with Pivot table is maintaining the format of the values (numbers) after refreshing the table. It always goes back to Excel’s formatting and never memorizes the one we put. Finally, I dream of a pivot table that refreshes automatically when we paste new data haha.
As usual, Fantastic. I believe many people would like to learn more about these kind of tasks. I highly recommend Leila's course "Power Query - Including M". Truly a masterpiece.
Thank you for the awesome video, however I think a good practical way of teaching us is to upload a file, any file, for us to download and follow your lead, that’s practical learning. Thank you.
This is amazing! Could you make a tutorial explaining how to connect an excel sheet or power query to an oracle database and do the whole transformation and cleaning process without the need of download the .txt file?
Awesome lesson Leila! Power Query is super useful for so many things. Thanks for the demo of how to expand it to tasks beyond just combining tables. Thanks for sharing and Thumbs up!!
Do you have a downloadable version of this dataset so I can practice along with you? I have been binge watching all of your videos recently so many great tips and tricks too.
This is amazing. If it possible to talk more about imported and exported data from accounting software to Excel? Sometimes, I failed to import data and create errors. Thanks!
The old problem of getting data from a report. Legacy reports need to be banished and replaced by data exports. I prefer Tab separated text files because they are easy to work with, though not as good as a direct connection. This demonstration demonstrates the advantage of PowerQuery, which exist in Excel and PowerBI. Parsing data, regardless of the tool, is knowledge that will advance any career.
Dear Leila, Thanks a lot for sharing the amazing knowledge with us. I really enjoyed the video and learned a lot. Once again Thank you so much for your need of the hour video.👍👌🙏
Such a pleasure to see that even black belts like Leila still manually check wether column is really empty. :-D I often blame myself for big amount of hand clicks.
Hi Ms. Leila. I am already taking several courses you are offering. and they are great, of course. It would have been great if exercise file / demo file would be included. Hope the exercise file used in video would be included along with video content... Thanks alot for quality content.
Thanks for the video. If some of the rows have only text and others have numbers only then how do I split these into two columns based on characters and values?
