This is another excellent video from Mark! I feel List.Accumulate function is the most tricky one in M code and one of the few functions with looping effect.

Thanks Mark for sharing your wisdom always in the Power Query community 👍👍🌹🌹
Thanks Kebin. In each video, I try to show the solution, but also teach the techniques that can be applied elsewhere. I'm glad that came across will in the video. List.Accumulate is really confusing, often because it's approached technically. By having a real-world practical example, I hope it can simplify it.
This is almost perfect 😃 Instead of matching the full Find string, I'd like to match a partial string, aka Text.Contains. Adding this to the function generates an error "cannot convert a value of type Function to type Text." Ideas?
Well that was a surprise when that worked, I'd been trying for ages but using column headers as the list to accumulate as for transform, really ingenious. Now to replace them conditionally.
Great use of List.Accumulate. Alternatively we can use this formula: = List.Accumulate(Table.ToRecords(FindReplace), #"Changed Type", (state, current) => Table.ReplaceValue(state,current[Find],current[Replace],Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Name"}))

This was exactly what I needed and presented in a short, concise, yet complete manner. Issues I found (being a complete noob at Power Query) was getting the data into Power Query and that the data is case sensitive (I obviously figured both of those out). Well done, well done indeed!
Thanks for another brilliant video on Power Query techniques for data cleansing and transformation. It's extremely useful and very clearly explained. Thank you so much.
I always check your videos, either by clicking on YT notification or redirecting from my mailbox, I find your videos very enriching but majority of the times, the magics look like rocket science to me. Thanks mate.
Thanks for that feedback, it's really useful. How can I make it seem less like rocket science? Any ideas would be useful for helping me make better videos. 👍
Alternate solution that may be easier to understand: = Table.ReplaceValue( #"Source table", each [Column to replace], each FindReplace{[Find=[Column to replace]]}[Replace], Replacer.ReplaceValue, {"Column to replace"} )
Great Tutorial.. but from practical perspective.. do you see any performance improvement on large data vs using merge technique to fetch the correct name by lookup to replacement table.
If you are replacing full words, then I think Merge would be faster (as merges are just faster in general). However merge won't work if you have partial words; so it depends on your scenario.
Great video! I have a small problem that's causing an issue though - to simplify, if I have a column of data that contains the word "house" and I want to change this to "home", and I also have the word "warehouse" in the same column, I end up with an entry that's corrected to "home", but I also end up with "warehome" - is there a way to make sure the case and cell contents are matched and exact?
Many thanks for an excellent video, this was just what I needed to solve the problem I was working on 😊One small improvement would be to make it an exact match, i.e. so if changing from "Wicks" to "Wicks Ltd", and then re-running the query at a future date, it would ignore the lines already correctly named as "Wicks Ltd" rather than making them "Wicks Ltd Ltd". This can be achieved by changing the "ReplaceText" to "ReplaceValue" at the end of the List.Accumulate function. Thanks again, and I have subscribed to the channel, as there are some really good tips and tricks videos, especially for Power Query 😊👍
Excellent, easy to follow video, fantastic. Would be good to know if this is possible to be saved as a custom function, if you have multiple columns from multiple tables in your model that need replacing from the FindReplace table then it be useful to be able to just quickly call on a custom function to do this.
Yes, this can be a custom function. However your idea.if transforming multiple tables at the same time would not be possible. I can think of a way to do it, but it would be so complex that it would remove any benefit.
@@ExcelOffTheGridThanks for your reply. I did think it would perhaps be to complex and take away any benefit. So let's say it wanted to be used on just a single column, how would it be used as a custom function in this situation?
What an excellent video!!. Thank you for the teaching. Is there a way to consider null values as a "Find" criteria in order to replace it with a non-null value?
Yes, you need to make sure the Find value in Power Query is null and not “null”. If the list is from an Excel Table initially, a blank cell is treated as null.
Thank you @@ExcelOffTheGrid for your response. The null value is the result of an expanded column from a combined query. What I intend to do is replacing the null values as well as the matching values from the list. List.Accumulate(Table.ToRecords(SERVICES), #"Columnas reordenadas1", (state, current) => Table.ReplaceValue(state,current[From],current[To],Replacer.ReplaceText,{"SURGICAL"})) This is the Replacing List From To Cx Loan Set NV SC DPS-LOANER Cx Loan Set V SC DPS-LOANER CX Consignment NV SC DPS-CONSIGNACION CX Consignment V SC DPS-CONSIGNACION Cx Mix - Loan & Cons NV SC DPS-MIX Cx Mix - Loan & Cons V SC DPS-MIX null PENDING
Hello, your Power Query videos helped me with important things. Could you help me? How to create multiply columns in the table using the Advanced Editor?. I created a function and it is called many times, which ends up thinking a little. Each column has its own name. And if you create the dynamic columns, based on a list of names, is it possible?
code table: let Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content], #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"DATE", type date}, {"CUSTOMER", type text}, {"GROSS VALUE", Int64.Type}}), // Here, the custom function is called for each column added. And if by chance, I want to make a different smoothie, it will be necessary to manually edit it in the code. How do I make this dynamic based on my dimension table list. AddColumns = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Data", each let col1 = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "GRAPE", each functionX([DATE], [DATE], "GRAPE") * [GROSS VALUE]), col2 = Table.AddColumn(col1, "WATERMELON", each functionX([DATE], [DATE], "WATERMELON") * [GROSS VALUE]), col3 = Table.AddColumn(col2, "LEMON", each functionX([DATE], [DATE], "LEMON") * [GROSS VALUE]), col4 = Table.AddColumn(col3, "ORANGE", each functionX([DATE], [DATE], "ORANGE") * [GROSS VALUE]), repleceerros = Table.ReplaceErrorValues(col4, {{"GRAPE", null}, {"WATERMELON", null}, {"LEMON", null}, {"ORANGE", null}} ) in repleceerros), #"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(AddColumns, "Data", {"GRAPE", "WATERMELON", "LEMON", "ORANGE"}, {"GRAPE", "WATERMELON", "LEMON", "ORANGE"}) in #"Expanded Data"
Sweet Mark! Have you tested the performance of this on large data sets? Just wondering if it's slower or faster than a bunch of "find-n-replace" steps...
In terms of performance, there should be little to no difference. List.Accumulate is applying the replace step multiple times inside a single step. Which is the same basic transformation as doing it across many steps.
The solution presented in the video is certainly robust and elegant. I thought, however, that I could achieve the same results by using an outer left join merge query on the Data and FindReplace tables on [Name] = [Find]. Then I added a custom column ([Standardized Name]) with a formula like = if [Replace] = null then [Name] else [Replace]. Then I kept just the [Standardized Name] and [Total] columns and finally renamed [Standardized Name] to just [Name]. Would this approach be as efficient as your M-Code solution? Are there advantages or issues with one approach over the other? Thank you kindly.
I think using a merge would be faster if using full words. However Replace Values doesn't have to be full words, it can replace partial words. Which a join can't do. You could also consider Fuzzy Match, if you like to take risks 😁. Therefore, I think they are sightly different solutions, which might have cross over in some use cases.
@@ExcelOffTheGrid Thank you for the clarification. I hadn't given thought to the need for partial matching but for such a use case the programmatic solution you demonstrated would be ideal. Thank you.
Just as a follow up I found that if replacing over multiple columns some of which did not contain text i got errors to used a custom replacer, i stared by make virtual old /new table ; let t = #table( {"old", "new"}, { {"sheep", "Goat"} , { "teddy", "paddington"} ,{ "mice", "rats"}} ) in List.Accumulate( {0..2} , Source, (S,C)=> Table.ReplaceValue( S, t [old] {C}, t[new] {C}, (x,y,z)=> if Value.Type(x) = type text then Replacer.ReplaceText( x, y, z ) else x , Table.ColumnNames(Source) ) )
Hi. Since only the list of values for the [Find] column was referenced in the beginning, how does the current moved to the [Replaced] column when declared later down the line?
Nice, another good example is "How to Merge Excel Files with Different Headers in Power Query | List.Accumulate" by Leila Gharani here on RUclips. Supper confusing at first! 🙃🤨😕
there's a bug in this method . If I have the word MURALE in Find to become MURALI in the Replace column, and then I have MURALETTO to become MURALETTI, it will change this last word in MURALITTI (with an "I" instead of an "E") because it doesn't search for the exact word, but it identifies the word MURALE inside of the word MURALETTO and will change it to MURALI even insede the word MURALETTO that becomes incorrectly MURALITTI.

One of the clearest explanations of the Accumulate function I have seen. Thanks Mark.

Alternatively we can use this formula:

That is a nice alternative, very good 👍
