These Power Query functions are a must-learn
|
Hi ,
Before I get into this week’s video, I wanted to quickly tell you about
something special I’m running for Black Friday.
I’ve put together Goodly Insider – a
single place where you get access to all my in-depth Power BI content, along
with support and a community you can actually learn with.
If you like the way I teach on YouTube and in my courses, this is the “all-in”
version of that. I’ve explained more about Goodly Insider in this short
video… you’ve got to watch it.
If I summarise it, as a Goodly Insider member, you get:
(Over 50 hours of lessons + limited-time bonuses)
|
All current courses + Updates –
Power BI Beginners, Power Query, DAX & Data Modeling, M
Language, Web Scraping with Power Query, and both DAX & Power
Query function libraries
|
|
Monthly live calls with me where we discuss real
data problems and projects
|
|
Community access to ask questions, share work, and
learn from others
|
|
In-course AI assistant, notes, bookmarks,
transcripts, and mobile app access
|
|
Monkey Tools Pro (90-day subscription) to help
with modeling and development in Excel
|
|
15 months of access (instead of usual 12)
|
|
Normally, Goodly Insider is $499 for 12 months, but right now you can join for
$399 (Indian students ₹23,990) + taxes, but only for 2 more days. After that,
it goes back to the regular price.
Now back to this week’s
video
This week, I’ve got something that every Power Query user needs. If you’ve ever
struggled to clean messy data or wondered which M functions are actually worth
learning, this video is for you.
I walk through
some of my favorite Power Query functions, the ones that help you pull data
from folders, transform columns dynamically, and create new calculated columns
without endless steps. These are the functions that make Power Query feel more
natural and help you tackle real-world data challenges more
smoothly. Watch the video
here.
A safer way to combine
tables in PQ
Instead of expanding tables (which locks in column names), use
Table.Combine to keep things flexible and avoid breakage.
See all columns without
scrolling!
Instead of scrolling sideways to check columns, click the row header and view
the whole row as a record. It’s a much easier way to look at wide tables.
Here are some small moments outside of Power BI…
