Don't use VLOOKUP. Use Merge Table or Data Model. Power Query and Excel.

    Absolutely excellent. I have already subscribed and liked.
    This is one of the biggest needs in Excel, in my view: We are often stuck with disparate data from different locations that we must combine via "connectors" between the tables. THEN, we can attack one data table and do analytics. Of course, you were trying to make this presentation efficient, but often the data needs to be cleaned up a bit before any merging can occur.
    I will see if you have a video on how to clean up all sorts of formatting/data problems.
    Just great.

      Yes. PBI and Excel should be taught, learnt and used together.
      They are adjuncts. Not separate compartments.

    @rupchandlohana 10 месяцев назад

    If we use standard merge query, it results in nested join which is very slow, especially if both tables to be merged are large. It is better to switch to simple "Table.Join" than "Table.NestedJoin" if both tables are large sized.

    • @efficiency365
      @efficiency365  10 месяцев назад

      Sure. Table.Join will get all fields. We need control over which fields are merged.
      Hence nested join is better. Secondly, in this type of scenario, one table - the master table - is usually small.
      Thirdly, to use Table.Join properly, you must choose the appropriate join algorithm. This is difficult to expect at a regular end user level.
      However, if both tables are very large, trying Table.Join is certainly a good idea.

    @canirmalchoudhary8173 10 месяцев назад

    If tables are clean, then we can just create relationship which will add tables in Data model automatically. Coming thru Power Query keeps original files intact. 👍

    • @efficiency365
      @efficiency365  10 месяцев назад +1

      Rights. Usually input data is never really clean. So Power Query needs to be used.
      But even input tables are clean, I always prefer to leave original data alone.
      If data is in Excel sheet and you add it to Data Model, it is occupying space twice.
      (Not exactly twice the amount of space. Data Model compresses it well. But still it is wasting space).
      Keep original files separate, do whatever you want in Power Query - a more modular and less error prone approach.
      In some cases, Excel itself encourages people to add local table to data model. That is not an optimal approach.
      Insert Pivot - From Range - It asks you to add to data model. Very bad idea. Learning Power Query is empowerment.
      Adding local data to data model is a disastrous bad habit.
      Of course in certain cases, there is justification for adding local data to Data Model.
      Small lookup tables which do not change often, for example.
      The key concept here is - Power Query gives you control over what goes inside Data Model. Add to Data Model does not give you any control at all. Therefore, always have PQ as a mediator.
