That is RECORD Breaking...Awesome tricks Chandeep 🤩
Glad to see you here Chandoo. Your puns never cease to amuse me!
Thank you 😊
Nice to see Two Stars on one page 🙏👍👍
omg chandoo you're a legend. I remember using your excel tutorials a very long time ago!
Thank you
Could you please post a video on how to use the last trick practically?
🤯 This is a game changer! This may change how I will design my queries moving forward...
No doubt - ABSOLUTELTY MINDBLOWING!!! The last one obviously amazing from the utility point of view. Thanks for sharing this.
Mind. Blown. Super helpful for understanding PQ in more depth. Thank you!!
Wow... Just Amazing. !!!
Stunning trick, definitely comes handy in creating complex joins only at a particular stage .. Thank you for sharing Chandeep.
Incredible! I've wondered how to reference intermediate steps in other queries for a long time, nice to see this way of doing it! Just ran across your channel, and love your explanation style. Looking forward to digging through your old videos!
Brilliant. Very well explained. Thank You 🤯
Great! Thanks Chandeep. Thumbs up!!
the last one is mind blowing. this solves many problems. thank you mate 🙏
Number 3 man!! Woot Woot!!!
Phenomenal!
Great !!! Sir,
I was looking for such a Solution where we can access an already worked out process and avoid duplication and bunch of M Code in another query. This way we know exactly our logic is
Many Many Thanks to your Sir
Khalid Khan
All the 3 tricks are super. Especially the 3rd trick to create new source from existing step of a query.
In the 2nd trick you shared reg extract previous to make separate query is also awesome. But it has a limitation I feel, you can't add further steps in the detail table since it becomes source for the original table.
Nicely explained and superb recording
Mind blowing👍👍👍👍
so interesting. many thanks
Last trick is awesome. Thank you!
Excellent content. Thoughtful and enthusiastic delivery. Thank you sir!
Excellent, didn't know the last one, very useful!
Mind Blown!
Thank you 💚
I learned 3 new things today. thanks :D
Amazing Trick as usual, Thanks a lot. Cheers
Love the 3rd trick! 😀👍
2nd trick looks similar to the 'reference' feature, but in reverse 🙂
Thanks ... it was really helpful! Best video so far!
The last trick is so damn fantastic! It looks so simple yet I wouldn’t ever thought about doing that approach. You made a great explanation on how records works, thank you!
Exactly how I felt!
@@williamrhopkins same, absolute game changer
Awesome!
Instead of creating a new query, entering in the name of your main query, and then clicking a table cell in there... In your main query, click the white space to the right of the Table link and choose "Add as new Query". Note that doing this will copy the main query meaning any chances you make to the main query will not be reflected in your new query. Alternatively, you can right click a query and choose reference, which is the same as creating a new blank query and entering the name of another one.
Trick 3 was really a surprise! Really nice mate, keep going with the nice videos! Appreaciate the knowledge sharing!
Great tips bro, thanks
This is a great trick!! Saves so much time and make the query so efficient! Thanks
Glad it was helpful Diana!
Yes in deed wonderful. This is what exactly shows up when we connect to sharepoint list and see the site contents
Many thanks! Crazy...
it seems so useful bu we also should check the performance of the queries
Excellent tricks Chandeep..mind blowing
Thanks!
You definitely are a champion Chandeep! I was litteraly pointing up just when you were explaining the transformation of steps in a record. It is just fabulous. I will rebuild some of my complex power queries to make them lighter. Great great great !
Thanks Celine!
this is crazy good!!! The 3rd one is fantastic!!
Glad you liked it
So cool, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Nice tricks!👏Thanks for sharing👍
First trick was nice, but third is mind blowing. Question is impact on performance in complex queries. Would have to check it ;)
Wow Just wow. I love this channel!
Thanks Wzx!
This is amazing trick and I can see how I will use it in my work. Thank you Goodly. I start watching every lesson you have in the channel. Very impressive and really appreciate your work for teaching Power BI techniques.
Thank you, John!
Thanks for the video fantastic keep it up 👍
3rd one is the best and fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. Cheers
Wow Wow Wow Wow You have solved my one problem by using the last technique I can dynamically execute or not to execute the query. Awsome trick
Cool! 💚
Awesome
Thanks Chandeep - third trick is awesome. This shows how to reference the query steps/records you've created at the beginning of a new query (as the source). But instead, how would you refer it in the middle of the new query (as a single value to be used in a calculation or Custom column)?
Awesome, that last Record trick is amazing thanks
Glad you liked it Lucena!
I love the last trick as a resource saving trick as well for two reasons. First, the flexibility. In one case I referenced the same table multiple times for different reasons and so they did not need to load all the applied steps every time. Being able to jump in at the first or second step saves so much confusion in the new tables because the unneeded steps are not there.
Second, when I refresh my data model, I noticed that the record refreshes very quickly since it is not actually unpacking the tables as a referenced table or duplicated table would. Instead, it loads the rows of instructions and unpack the table when it called as a source. Saving our team an entire table worth of time, memory, bandwidth for each table we use this technique and every time we refresh our models. It also helps keep the file size down if you need to use this trick multiple times in your data set. That was very important to us before the Query Folding pipelines were available.
Thank you Chandeep, very useful to experiment with and find alternative query building options!
Glad you liked it
Loved the 3rd Trick
Thanks 💚💚
Thanks for sharing its really blowing my minds
Glad you enjoyed it
Great content. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
This approach with Records is so cool. It can be helpful to avoid circular references. When you need to pick up an early step, manipulate it and after that add it to the final step of the Query A. This is awesome😊
Glad you like this Willian!
Always wait for your video
always Best👌
I really liked 3rd trick. Thank you Chandeep. You are awesome. lots of love.
Thank you so much 😀
Really amazing
Thanks ✌️
This did not disappoint. All are brilliant, thank you. Love the outtake at the end
Glad you like it!
That's fun way to transform steps into a record! I'm liking all this, and it's easy to implement, and to revert. Awesome!
Thanks Rick!
#powerbinareal
Loved 3rd trick
Thanks!
pretty cool for referencing!!
Totally!
I fell off my seat with the last trick. Amazing. It shows the power of the M language and how it can provide wrappers for just about anything. Thanks Chandeep. Great job!
Great to hear!
Great video mate
Another excellent presentation! Cool to see Chandoo drop in with kudos as well.
Thank you! 💚
Cant wait to jumble up my queries😂. Amazing last trick! I reference queries a lot and split them as your trick #2, but had never seen that third one. Thank you.
very helpful and crazy tricks, thanks for your sharing
Glad it was helpful 😊
Insane!
That third trick goes straight into my utility belt 😎 Thanks, Chandeep!
Glad you found it helpful Eddie!
Thanks you
Mind blowing 🤯... literally feel what ever I had learnt basics about MCode....out of my mind 🙃
Trick 3 was really a surprise!
Thanks 💚
the last trick is really incredible, well done. but my question is what happens when you have additional information in the source file? if you refresh, will the new record pick the new information?
Yes, PowerQuery master tabling
Wow !!!!
Now I came to know, no one else can teache with so simple logics power query and BI without any additional fee
genius bro !!!!!
Thanks!
Awsome bro😄
Thanks !
Super trick
Thanks!
Maaaaate! really good trick!
Thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it!
Hi, your videos are very interesting and I often learn new stuff but stop constantly teasing on what comes next, we are here for one reason and we stay with you 😉. Vincent from Paris
AS always... Ppfffff... Mind blowing
First Like chandoo..👌
that last one is actually insane and useful
hey Chandeep, high appreciate this trick! i helped my wife with her analysis on a survey which has many parts to be individually analyzed. i used reference or duplicate but found the query quickly turned into giant mess. this is very helpful to pick up the step i need
Great 👍
This is awesome!!! Just a quick quesiton on the third method. Would doing that when you have so many steps with a large dataset slowdown Power BI?
I doubt that converting the steps into records would slow them down. It should not impact the speed unless there is a problem with the step itself.
I haven't tested it thoroughly with very large data. With a couple of million rows it works fine!
Super
Thanks!
Greatttt
Thanks!
More pivot table tips and tricks please 😊
Geezzz..!!! That was super cool Chandeep..! I was laughing and enjoying for 5 min.. :D
Thank you so much 😀
You laughed and enjoyed.
Hey Chandeep! Thanks for this video. The third trick is absolutely mind blowing!
I was wondering how does this affect query performance. Will it slow my query down?
Not unless your query is already slow
Your final trick really is rad! :-)
I think I’ll find a good use for that. Thanks for sharing!
OK, I just thought of something: I have this query where I look up the help on all the built-in functions, and then I subsequently I filter that “source” step for bunch of keywords like “Table”, “List”,…
So, now you know that in the very near future I will have the capability to ask for Help[Table] anywhere and get exactly what I want… ;-)
@@GeertDelmulle I post more relevant uses of this trick soon. One video at a time :)
PS: works like a charm! (of course it does :-)
of course 3rd one
I know this is old but then I'm an old guy playing with code - this if fun Chandeep - thanks buddy. 😉
For 3rd trick - what if you need to edit or add a step after you turned the table to a record? Revert back to a table and make the transformation then convert to a record again?
Simply brilliant Chandeep! can you guide here - I tried the record trick to source Share Point path and refer it in subsequent queries. The files when updated at the Share Pont does not update here in Power Query. When I change the source step back to table..it does update
Hi, thanks!
Will the third query also be able to calculate the result faster since it is only referencing the already calculated results (converted to records)?
great stuff. i'm definitely gonna use it to prank some workmates. 😄
Haha..cool! 🙃
Wow mind blown 🤯, you are legend, got out of bed just to try the last trick lol 😂
Wow. Always amazed. Where or how did you learn this. Mind Blown. Love number 3. Am having the same problem.
Glad you like it!
