You never cease to amaze. I was already doing number 1 but number 2 is a very nice trick. #3 is even better. I am writing this before I even finish watching.
Cool stuff as always! Personally I like receiving error messages that certain column wasn't found because I would like to know right away if an essential column was renamed or removed from the reports
Awesome set of tricks, thanks a lot Chandeep. I have a question: how do you can replace the functionality of the "??" operator in old versions of Power Query?
Thanks for the video, and I like the tips. However I suppose queries 'breaking' and Power Query being sensitive is actually a good thing. It ensures that data sources and the structure of the data remains consistent. Nothing ever just 'breaks': there is always a good reason for why the query stops working.
To be fair it could entirely depend on your purpose. The reason I say that is because for I use power query to track employees workload. How many items they actioned and time taken to complete. Due to the majority of information being manually inputted by end users, there is always someone that enters a weird value or made a change, they didn't know they made. End users just generally know "Thing did not work" Even though they are excel workbook is managed by the manager, there is always someone that "breaks" something. Being able to have these accounted for while still gathering the correct data is beautiful.
Good stuff, especially the column expansion/transformation. I've got your ChangeTypeNoError video in my saved list. That looks like it could provide a LOT of utility. Thanks.
really nice video! my favourite is also the dynamic column names one. do you know if you can create your own library bundling all the custom function, to easily include it into each project instead of copiing over? a while ago i was researching on that, but couldn't find anything...
Great video as always. I notice your function is documented. I'd love to see a video on how to add that to a custom function. Also, how to convert a query into a function where the function becomes a new query linked to the original query so that changes made to the original query get passed to the function automatically the way it happens when using Get Files from Folder.
Nice tips! When adding the index step, shouldnt you change it to start from 2(or wherever your data starts) so that it will actually show the row number of the error in source file.
Hello everyone, With reference to the case 2. Expanding Coumns Dynamically Wouldn't it be easier and more efficient to capture the names of the columns by creating the below step ( after Grouped Rows ): = List.Union( List.Transform( #"Grouped Rows"[ All] , each Table.ColumnNames(_) ) ) ?
When all the data is flat and the same type, instead of manually changing each column type, you can unpivot the data from the date column. This gives the ability to. Change all the values to whatever type you need. Then pivot again. No hard coded names.
I am highly interested in joining your course But one question goodly Is that power query courses update with such awesome content time to time Or it remains static as content list given
I need one help with s curve. I am unable to restrict the actual line chart to a certain date. The columns are date, product, amount, planned value, actual value. Product column has different products. Date column contains date till dec 23. Actual value column contains value till July 23. Planning value contains value till dec 23. Using running total measure for cumulative planning value is working fine. But the same measure for cumulative actual is showing value even after July 23. If possible make one video to restrict cumulative actual to a certain date.
Hi Chandeep could you pls assist me.  (POWER QUERY FROM OFFICE 365)Access Permissions Required to open queries from power query connections. Can i protect my queries to view
Hi I have 1 issue with POWER BI, (basically related to managing one to many relationship with dates, user relationship dax is not a scalable option for me here.) pls can you share mail id or any other place where I can describe the problem i am getting with my project.

Excellent video. It really helps to identify errors this way, saves hours of searching. And for the dynamic loading of columns is another game changer
Thanks Richard :)
I have learnt so many really clever automations from you. Your videos are clear incisive and extremely effective. Thank you so so much
You're very welcome Tony :)

While Expanding Column Dynamically, Post the expanding, I wish to add a coulmn of SUM, Sum of Collist, it gives error, Please help
Hi Brother...✋ But how can I know the which formula will use for which purpose ...

Hi, how to select chart's x-axis, y-axis, legends and values? how to differ them? what are the basic criteria's for choosing them?
Is there a way to go from type "Any" to type "Date" skipping the type "DateTime" when there is a time in the data?
3:57 you've added bubble sound to your transition.😂👍
😉
2:34 i just remove that hard coded text, leave column name only.🤔
I am highly interested in joining your course

Is that power query courses update with such awesome content time to time
Or it remains static as content list given

Intellisense did not work because it works best between 2 spaces, not touching another character.
All went too quick for me, who I can get my head around this topic
