Dear Nabil,
Your excellent video inspired me to develop, with dynamic formulas, the grouping you achieved in Power Query:
=LET(Africa,REDUCE("Continents",SEQUENCE(ROWS(Africa[Countries])),LAMBDA(a,b,VSTACK(a,"Africa"))),
Asia,REDUCE("Asia",SEQUENCE(ROWS(Asia[Country])-1),LAMBDA(a,b,VSTACK(a,"Asia"))),
Europe,REDUCE("Europe",SEQUENCE(ROWS(Europe[Nation])-1),LAMBDA(a,b,VSTACK(a,"Europe"))),
Countries,VSTACK(Africa[[#All],[Countries]],Asia[Country],Europe[Nation]),
Capitals,VSTACK(Africa[[#All],[Capitals]],Asia[Main City],Europe[Capital]),
Populations,VSTACK(Africa[[#All],[Populations]],Asia[Population],Europe[Residents]),
AreaSqKm,Africa[[#All],[Area SqKm]],
IFNA(HSTACK(VSTACK(Africa,Asia,Europe),Countries,Capitals,Populations,AreaSqKm),""))
I hope you like it. 🤗

Excellent resolution. I think Power Query is still superior to Excel here. These models are easier to do this way. Thanks for this great explanation Nabil.

Excellent video

[@SyedMuzammilMahasanShahi]

Thank you very much. Great share.

[@Officeinstructor]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bilaloz8043]

I follow you constantly and benefit greatly from your educational videos. Really thank you and appreciate for the super videos and solutions. But you don't share your work files at all. In fact, it would be much more helpful if you shared your working file. We will have the opportunity to practice while watching you and we expect you to share the files.

Hello, I am glad you find value in my tutorials.
Due to very low interaction on my videos I do not post the source files regularly as I used too. I know they are really valuable.
However, for this tutorial you can Download the Exercise File from my blogsite:
