Two of my favorite Excel gurus having a friendly competition. It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks!

Guys, you are genius . You are equally brilliant. This is a draw but the real winner is me a I am the beneficiary of your tricks 😃

Timestamps to help : trick 1: 4:19 trick 2: 8:25 trick 3: 10:55 trick 4: 14:51 trick 5: 18:10 trick 6: 21:17 trick 7: 26:10 trick 8: 29:26 trick 9: 31:01 trick 10: 32:58 trick 11: 35:44 trick 12: 39:33 trick 13: 41:20 trick 14: 47:36

I rarely have enough attention span to sit and watch anything longer than 20mins video. This was one of the rare ones where I was able to do that. Thanks mark and chandeep, you guys should keep the collaboration going !

For me it’s Mark for the win because of the following canons he pulled out of his hat of tricks: “flatten headers”, “query in a step” and “Merge does the fastest exact match”. They made the difference for me. All the tricks are good, but those stood out for me.

This is great. You should practice this often. No winners here, only us, audience.

King Kong vs Godzilla. Let them fight.

Hi Team of Champs>Mark and Chandeep. Having been following the two, I know you are both Giants and the synergy here is explosive. Great job and justice done to educating us on various employable tricks. Thanks.

This is just awesome! Just to add to Mark's first trick, instead of manually typing the date you can create a Table of dates from the files in the folder by creating a new query and maintaining the file name column. You output this as a table and create a data validation from it. This will eliminate the manual input of dates and mitigated errors.

What a privilege to learn from two awesome 'Powerhouses'. I'm definitely a winner out of this...., Thank you Chandeep and thank you Mark....,

What a video the Power Query community much needed. Two giants, one battle. Both with endless moves to shoot at each other. Im glad you finally agreed to a truce. The world gets to live another day. I bet this battle could have lasted for weeks. 😉

Really liked the add columns, I was thinking of your 'creating dynamic columns ' challenge, where I'd changed it so then names were header and 'hobbies ' row headers, done this a few ways, and think this may be a new way. find 'off the grid ' really useful long before I found mark on youtube

I follow and admire both. Chandeep got the bonus +1 point just because he promotes this ideas ✨ and shares with us. Now that's Goodly stuff 👍

Mark 7 Chandeep 7! You guys! Those were 14 absolutely awesome tricks. Thanks for putting this together.

Bravo! An honourable draw covering some great tricks

Wow. Serveral awsome tips, thank you, Chandeep and Mark. A voting is difficult. I know most of your tips, Chandeep. And as a former SAP-R3 user, I can imagine that Mark's tips are more than helpful for those who suffer from these special tables where essential information is above the table. Please allow some questions: Why did you, Mark, use merge / right outer instead of inner join? (Battle 6) What is the benefit of the code optimizations? I ask because I always have to correct code to respond to changes in the data. If you summarize everything, checking and correcting becomes difficult.

Table.Profile from Mark, Groupkind.local from Chandeep. Awesome. Great guys 🎉

Awesome tricks from both Chandeep and Mark! Several tricks are immediately applicable to my queries. The most helpful include Projections, Local Grouping, Dynamic File Path, Fetching Date Columns, and Use Merge to Filter. Thank you both for the tips! As for the points Mark - 4 Chandeep - 3

Great video of two great PQ masters! From my current user level/knowledge I give 4 points for Chandeep for "add more columns in one step", "automatically promoted headers", "is number/is text"; "transform all columns" and 3 points to Mark "filtering data with right outer merge", "get the info/date from removed rows", "query in custom column" As somebody wrote before me - we are all winning here! :) thanks!

Watching again and again. The concatenation and appending columns in one step was very cool. Both of you bringing some great content. Mark's is awesome for solving tricky situations. Chandeep's tips I will probably use more often. Tie contest waiting for the tie-breaker.

Yes, another video for tie-breaker :)

Very Very Useful tips, both have made us win, excellent, Thanks,. Removing blank columns made my life easy

Mark tricks was more which we require in day today professional work....

Very Impressive @GoodlyChandeep. Bless you

Brilliant, spectacular tricks, thanks for sharing. My favourite is Mark's trick #7.

Thank you for sharing your abilities

Two great mentors.

It is not about the points, it is rather about the value you both imparted to us. Thanks both

Personally for me ... Mark 7, Chandeep 4 (tricks 2, 5-7), and not because I don't like you Chandeep ;), but because I find Mark's tricks more usefull. Anyway, both of you are worth to follow. Good job

For Mark's tip No. 4 (Removing Null Columns), if you first change the data type to whole number, then you can apply filter to [NullCount] column without the bug error message (at 27':32'' of the video)

Amazing tips -- one of the most useful videos I've watched in a long time!

Thanks to both of you. Amazing tricks!

You are amazing, you are both winners !!! Well done !!! 👍👍👍

More, more, more. This was an absolutely fabulous idea for a video.

Great both of you 💯👍

For me you both are the winner !!! but since 5 to 6 month i am following Chandeep and learnt lots of things , hence my softer side always goes to my guru (Chandeep).

Both of you are super, thank you so much

Nice Collab... I learnt lot from both of you... I like Chandeep's great way of teaching style, I learnt more from him.. Simple and elegant, superb. Mark I like his tricks great.

Brilliant video! Thanks you so much! I’ve learned a lot of new tricks due to your competition.

Same here you guys are both giants. Each with its own specificities and coding style. Discovered the table.profile function that will come handy at times (thumbs up for Mark). Everlasting thanks to Chandeep for his video on Table.transformcolumns tutorial. I didn’t’ know Mark at the start of my PowerQry journey, so my vote goes to Chandeep who has taught me so much. But keep it up hoth if you your work is so inspiring.

Just WOW ! I think i have several uses for this, and thanks Gents for taking the time. I'd say 7-7. I need to test what i've learned, and may have a good example, for a follow up video, if i can't understand it myself.

I was searching just today for a way to clean all columns without hard coding and couldn't find anything so the the empty list brackets tip is very timely! And this was fun to watch too which actually makes it easier to remember. Bravo to you both!

That add query into custom column. Lovely

Both of you presented thoughtful and worthwhile tricks. A tie well done.

Wonderful contest between two Grand Master wizards casting their M magic. Removing Null columns is sick and I am using today. This would be such a fantastic regular series!

Awesome tips. Thank you Chandeep for bringing Mark. You both are rocking.

Great stuff.

Am a happy boy too and am I did indeed have that rabbit out of hat moment in all those tricks. .guys I wish more of these short but useful titbits

Entertaining AND educational... thank you both! You are both winners in my book. Really appreciate you sharing the actual files you were working with. Plenty of useful nuggets in there.

Lovely idea to have a competion that boosts creativity. I follow both of these geniuses-each with its own admirable style👏. This competition shows once more both gentlemen know ALL the awesome tricks of the trade 🪄. Mark 7-Chandeep 7 + 1 bonus point, because you can't beat the simplicity of the trick of using records to add columns. Great of you both - Cheers guys! The audience is the ultimate winner 🎉

Flattenheaderrows - Mark Great-tips. Thanks mate.

Damn I feel the video is literally short..keep doing this man. many thanks to you ❤❤

Nice to meet you guys all together!🤗 You both are super boss!✊😁

Great tricks ! Need part 2🎉

That was awesome 👍

You guys are Awesome Amazing PQ Tricks at the end everyone is benefited. Thank you so much

Great Learning, you both are winners

Excellent. Can you add the timings for each trick?

Getting a single column as a table was new to me. It's great !!

You were simply fantastic and this idea of a trick 'challenge' is really exciting. You undoubtedly have two different styles of approaching solutions to everyday problems that arise in the world of data cleansing. My point scale leans towards Chandeep and for me the score is: Chandeep: 6 Mark: 5 But kudos to both of you and applause to Chandeep for organising this kind of really interesting meeting. Good luck to both of you

Clash of the Titans ! Chandeep is my Guru......Goodly = Godly....... but Mark is also no less. Both get 5/5 Stars. The last tricks from both were awesomely mindblowing (all were).....hoping to see more of these type of videos ( in addition to your regular one :) )

Every trick was great, but the one I know I will use constantly from know is the change all data by {}

Excellent tips & tricks

Jus to update really loveed the add colun as record, one example; Table.AddColumn( TableofColumnHeaders , "Custom", each Record.FromList( Source [Item], Source [Name] )) then to check if value in each row / column = column header ; Table.ReplaceValue( #"Expanded Custom", each [ColumnHeader], "Attended", (x,y,z)=> if Text.Contains( x, y) then z else "" , Source [Name] )

most awaited

Mark 4 Chandeep 3 Common Chandeep! Blow him away in the next one. (Awesome tricks loading...:))

Both are the best. I give the highest point for both of them.

This is a banger!

You are awesome guys

Excellent! I give all the points to each of you. For my point of view, you are ex aequo! It is an excellent idea. Feel free to do another challenge of this type whenever you want!

Mark and chandeep both are champion Both are my teacher 7 for Mark and 7 for Chandeep

What a great video! Awesome tricks all the way around. I'm always looking for ways to cut out steps in my queries and these tips blow my mind! Mark - 6 Chandeep - 6

Awesome video!

Wow! The GOATs of PQ showing their magic in front of our mesmerized eyes! This is a compact video, total of 14 into one AWESOME video. You guys were both great and sport. Chandeep deliberately threw a weak first hand, as he's the host.😉 😄 Mark 7, Chandeep 6. 😅

You are amazing, you are both winners !!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chandeep ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark

Great tricks 👏 Thank you so much to keep on pushing the boundaries. To me it is a draw

Unstoppable force, meet immovable object

I am the winner with you guys tricks

Amazing work to both of you - some of this blows my mind and I now need to see how I can translate this into my work. I scored Mark 6 - Chandeep 6 - a worthy draw.

Thanks

Mark 7 | Chandeep 7. Wonderful job done. Thanks a lot!

Most of the tricks you Chandeep already covered, which mark has shown. Full points to Chandeep. But, knowledge is knowledge. Wherever you get it Grab it. Thanks guys for wonderful healthy competition. Thank you thank you and millions of thank you.

You are geniuses. I call it a draw. Blessings!

Two PQ masters!

7 for each .... Chandeep one more star for you .. from Muscat

This was awesome !!! Mark : 100 ! Chandeep : 100 !

Great tricks! My scoring Mark 4 - Chandeep 5

will rewatch again and again, both equally winners by my count, Mark 7 Chandeep 7

"... simple as that ..."😂 really good tricks, really cleaver both, both win 💯 thank you

Battle of the Titans! 14 fabulous tricks - thanks for this Mark and Chandeep!!! My score: Mark = 7, Chandeep = 7. However, I actually think it should be much higher for each of you. Definitely keeping this video in my refer to again file!

Wow. Great video that Ive now saved for future reference. My scoring criteria was based on whether I knew the trick already. Chandeep 6 Mark 3. Although...if you wanted to weight these youd come out about equal in this competition. Good stuff y'all.

Mark's trick number 6 is so important and so common to miss. No amount of custom M code will be better than simple joins.

The score is 10:10. All tricks are amazing and I love them. Thank you both for this great competition. I feel a winner too, because I have learnt a lot. ❤

Hi Chandeep, Do we have any option to remove the promoted header option while connecting Google sheet,

Sorry, I dont fully get Right Outer Join in trick #6 by Mark. Shouldn't be better to use inner join instead? Right outer keeps all the rows from the right table - and what if we have mistaken values in filters (right) table? It wil be joined to the data table, correct? This is not what we expect, probably

Thanks to both of you for the shared tricks. It's difficult to decide between you, the themes covered were different but all interesting. I would tend to give the victory to Chandeep because Mark's header trick was encapsulated in a predefined function so Chandeep =7 and Mark =6.

Pure Gold 🥇🥇🥇🥇

Thanks!

I wish I could have put several thumbs UP !!
