FINALLY, I found your video that solves my issue. Thank you, thank you and thank you. I self-learned just enough to use Access to combine several data tables but then realized I can't use it online nor in the MacBook. So, I need to switch back to Excel and Excel has improved to 'Power Query' stuff in which I am not familiar with at all. But you have saved my day.
Hi Jon.. thanks for this quick tutorial on Merging Queries to mimic VLOOKUP. Always learn something new at your channel and at your web site. Also, really appreciate that you give access to the sample data to allow for following along with the video. Thumbs up!!
Tremendously helpful, thanks for sharing! I had a table of 213K+ unique values that I needed to merge with a csv of over 4M records (too large for a xlsx table) and this did the trick.
Thank you Jon.I have a number of Sheets limited to 32 columns each so I may use a Form to enter data in each sheet and then I am combining them in one sheet of 255 columns or less for a mail merge, so this is just what I needed.
Minute 6:10, instead of adding a new sheet, can you replace an existing sheet? The reason I ask is, I have formulas that go to one of the connecting table, I would like to update the information and not have to create a new sheet with new information.
Hi Jon, tried to apply this technique to merge Cost data to Sales data by item code to derive profitability. A large majority of the merged data works - big thanks! But I notice that for only a few selected item codes, duplicate sales data are created in the merged data table. What are the possible reasons for that, and what can I do to avoid creation of duplicates? Thank you!
Jon, can you merge data from many sources at once, like the append function where you post the files data you want to append in a folder and then power query append. Thanks for your videos.
Hey Jon, Sorry this is unrelated to the video but I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what excel is trying to do with some of my inputs. When I put in my dilution labels, e.g. 1:50, 1:100, 1:200, etc. Excel is changing them to 0.07638r, 0.111r, and 0.18055r. I recognize that just changing the format of the cell to text will fix the issue of the "auto-fix," but I am confused as to what excel is trying to represent. It's not the division as you might expect for calculation of a ratio, as that would show 0.02, 0.01, and 0.005. Any guesses what is happening here? I'm probably just forgetting my grade school math...
Thank you! the first attempt, it got all messed up and I was ready to give up "oh it does not apply to my case", then I tried again and worked beautiful. My case was whenever there is a country in one column, the race column needs place race name automatically. Example: If Ukraine country, then Race column-cell is 1-White, if Mexico, then 3-Hispanic; if China, then 4-Other Asian; if Phillipines, then 9-Filipino, and so forth. for this process I was using the Xlookup. So today first time used the PowerQuery. I handle 100 + data and no way I will type race for each country.
This is an amazing video. I did try to get the data from Customers table using xlookup, and I got a SPILL! error. Why wouldn't it add the fields horizontally and how would I fix that? I tried wrapping it inside a transpose function, but it didn't work. Would you have any comments on how to handle the Spill error? Also what do you do about the duplicate records in the out put table? Please advise Thank you so very much for your helpful vids!
Hi thanks for all these great videos really helping me to sort all my personal and professional info... My question is, Could you do the merge query with an approximate text match? its the same example as your video only the Orders DB matching column has an approximate "fuzzy" match... Kind of like using wildcards with the merge query Thanks
Hi Jon. I immediately subscribed your super great video. It's just awesome. By the way, do we have a way to sort a single column only? My file has no relationship with other columns each other, so I just wanted to sort one column that doesn't impact other columns. Thanks.
Hi. Thanks for the video, this was very close to what I'm trying to do, but not quite. Let's say I have a customers table with cusID and cusName columns. I would like to have another table where I enter the order information, called orders I suppose. when I enter a customer ID into the orders table, I would like the orders.customerName to update automatically. I don't want to create a merged new table, but rather pull that information into the orders table itself. Is this possible using either the Data Model or Power Query, or should I just stick to using XLOOKUP?
Thanks for the vote! I'll add it to the list. It's been awhile since I've done a TH-cam video on Power BI. We also have a full Power BI Online Course that's part of our Elevate Excel Training Program, if you are looking more comprehensive step-by-step training. Thanks again and have a nice day! 🙂
I am using a lot of this method to do my reconciliations for suppliers account. Thank you so much! It is a job saver! Now, my question is, I have made data connection to pdf files (statements of account) and created my power query. I noticed that if someone make any changes to the pdf file, e.g: re-name it or even delete it from our shared location, I lose the connection and messes all what I’ve done. To save my work, I did copy the table to a normal excel file, however, is there any way to repair the connection? Replace the connection by adding the link to another copy of the same pdf file that I used before? Do you know what I mean?
Thank you Jon, I have successfully merged many tables but I can not figure out how to either conditionally merge tables or use the equivalent of the DAX LOOKUPVALUE function. From my SQL Database table I have 2 queries and I need to be able to retrieve data from Query 1 Column C based on both Column A & B values and place this data in Query 2 based on Column B & D in Query 2. Is there any way you know how to do this?
Hi Jon, Thank you for the video!! I have large data set in my excel file it (saved it in csv format) is around 930000 cells. When I m working in the file it got hanged most of the time. Kindly advise how to work smoothly in the file...
Very nice , how can I Marge I modified table(Marge1) with another single table , knowing that the first table has a hide principal value , I've been trying to do this but it gets repeat some values
It used to be half day or more for me to do the merging. Now, I can do it in less than 5 mins. Thank you Jon !
Where has this channel been all my life?? Thanks Jon!

I've been doing VLOOKUP for days and this just answered my question of "why doesn't the machine do the work for me?" Thank you, Jon!
Everytime I watch this guy he saves me time! Even when I'm not expecting it
Thank you Jon! You've explained the merging in a very comprehensive way. I will definitely visit your channel often!
Thank you!! I was going crazy trying to figure out an index match function and this was soooo much easier than that!
you are absolutely the best to learn from. the clarity and the way you train is just GREAT

Nice Trick
Can i merge more then 2 tables, or can i merge all files from folder? Thanks

Can we perform these operations if the customers table was in a different worksheet?
For example if there multiple items in one coloum and also same items in other excel file ,so can we get same result or it will show duplicate item
Thank you!
Thanks Rosa! 🙂
can we do this in Google sheet?
Thank you
Awesome
Does the result of this query updates when the source tables are updated? or is it a one off?
