    Power Query is such a game changer for Power Bi (and Excel)... once you realize the "power" in bringing in data with this tool you'll never look back (For reference, I used to copy and paste excel files into a single excel file... 🤦🏼‍♂ lolz)
    Thanks for sharing this, Alex!

    I took a Power BI certification course a few months ago. It was super dry and brain numbing. But now that I'm following along your Power BI series I can really see the value and fun in using this tool. As always, THANK YOU ALEX!!

    This is one of the things Power BI Desktop beats Tableau Desktop at, the embedded ETL tool Power Query. Sure there is Tableau Prep for data cleaning, but I believe it is a separate tool. Nice video Alex!

    You should create a video specifically about portfolio projects. What type of projects you should do how to find data for them.
    Feel like you talk about portfolio projects a ton within other videos but should make 1 just dedicated to that

    I need your suggestion on the following situation.
    I maintain an excel of my client's campaign performance on google ads. I wanted to make a dashboard and automate it so that the dashboard keeps updating on a daily basis.
    Can you please suggest how to go about it?
    Want to use Tableau.

    Hello Alex. Sorry to ask questions outside the video content.
    I have two questions regarding Google Data Analytics:
    1. The capstone course requires external data to use, or they provide data to work on it? I am asking this since I cannot access company data and its highly confidential too.
    2. The public version of tablue is suffient to use it for the course?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey, I appreciate you and the work you contribute freely to the world.
    Also your audio sounds a little funky, like it's compressed or a noise reduction thing is mucking it up just a bit. Not huge, just thought I'd point it out.

    Hi Thanks, I'm just entering the BI world (after many years of excel/vba) what happens if you get that data every month, you have to do this every month? or the query editor will apply steps when you change the data source? and will it error if something becomes not compatible e.g. someone moves a column or changes datatype in the excel template

    Viewers will find your steps EASIER if you CHANGE the SIZE and COLOR of your CURSOR.
    YELLOW is very easy to see on the screen. A little LARGER would also be great.

    But.... I find the mouse pointer you use hard to find when I'm trying to follow along -- small, white on white with gray outline is hard to see. Maybe you could change the settings -- enlarge it, invert colors, or use yellow highlighted pointer. Just an idea. Thanks!

    Thanks Alex, one question; I have a dataset and created a dashboard from that dataset, but there was a need to add some columns and rename a few columns in the excel sheet (dataset), when i press the refresh button; the message says there is an error because of adding columns and not matching the names! is there anyone to guide me through how to deal with this issue? thanks.
