Hi Leila, I have seen your videos and really enjoy them. Would like to learn more as my work involves analysing multiple excel sheets and use of pivot tables. My data comes in sheets with different headers as well as columns that have combinations of number and characters within the same column. I would like to automate and analyse these columns in number format. Which course should would you recommend that I attend: (1) Power pivot & Dax( beginner to pro) or (2) Power Query ? Thanks.

The addition of table names to the Quick Access Toolbar is a brilliant time-saver, enhancing workflow efficiency. The tip about not typing the dot in M functions until necessary is also very practical. Moreover, the use of slicers for user-friendly table filtering is a great touch. These tips are truly valuable!

Those tips are my 2 favorites of this video, too!

Quick access toolbar and slicer were my favorite. Awesome video Leila. Keep them coming!!!

The "never type the dot" is mind-blowing. I use PQ every day in excel and PBI and I'm chocked that it's that simple to avoid that behavior! Thanks Leila!

Thank you! Like always a clear explanation with an easy to follow. Example. As per your question, I thoroughly enjoyed how you displayed the slicer and made it look super easy. Have a great day but an even better weekend.

Awesome 3 & 9 are my favorites! love these

Thanks Leila, very helpful tips. I really like Tip#6 and #10 and QAT. I tried also copying steps from one query to another query by copying the specific mcode of that step via Advance Editor 😊

Best teacher ever!! Been subbed for years. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing useful tips. My favorite tip is 8. This will make my life easy

С удовольствием смотрю ваши ролики

No. 3 and No. 6 are life savers! and No. 10 is interesting one. Thank you so much.

Thank you Leila for sharing these PQ tips... All these tips must be helpful for PQ users' productivity..

Hola. Son todos muy brillantes. Gracias.

Thanks for those tips! I already knew a few of them, but I still love them all!

Hi Leila, thanks for this video. I took advantage pf the the video to sign for your course. I just started it and in chapter 1 (module 1) talked about addressing some challenges dealing with messy pdf's which was really helpful to me. Great courses. Clear and good examples. Thanks again.

Some remarks: - I like that sorting columns trick and that implicit GoTo column trick as well. - Ha! I use the Table Name on the Excel QAT for the longest time, now. So, yes, great trick. - My current favorite is: the New Blank Query button on the Excel QAT (yes, exactly that). - if you first add a “(“ in your formula, you can use the dot w/o duplication issues. That’s how I do it. The intellisense is actually quite smart. I tend to wrap my argument and then write the function name, so the dot is no problem for me.

Hi Leila. As always your videos are unbelievably helpful and resourceful. Nearly all are favourites. But Tip #1, Tip #3 and Tip #6 are the most gems you have revealed on this video. But Tip #3 is the top dog. I can't count how many times I have to edit an M code (which I believe will also be applicable when creating custom columns where you use M) after pressing a tab. Thanks again.

Very Nice Mam Query Shortcut, Slicer and Copy & Paste are very useful features. Thanks 😊

I really love the Quick Access Toolbar addon, even "outside" of power query, you cant "ALT + 1 (or 2 or 3)" any keyboard shortcut. Its so great. Good video!

Another Leila "gem". My favorite is the do-not-dot (eye opener). Thank you, thank you, thank you. My personal favorite is to disable "Adjust Column width" as soon as PQ creates the table. Right mouse click in the table > Table > External Data Properties. As a result the columns-widths do not change every time the query refreshes.

Love all Ten (10) of them! Thank YOU as always for the tips!

You are such a sorceress. Get out of my mind. You are so in tune to what the average advanced user needs. It is amazing. I like #3 and #6 as well. I so look forward to all the videos you make. I am in the process of reengineering many of my "formula" spreadsheets. Thank you so much!🪄

I like #5 to sort column headers too. I wish we could have a feature that would allow us to select the sequence in this dropdown as well.

Awesome! I love the ability to add to the QAT. I didn't know I could do that.

Hi Leila I learn so much from you and I love you simple way in teaching .. I like in this video trick of refresh setting that can make me auto refresh every specific time ..thanks

Tip 8 I knew already and use it almost daily. for the rest I'm completely with you 3 & 6 are the most exiting ones.

Love auto refresh when open. Thank you for all your tips sharing. Very very useful.

Hi Leila, #7 to keep an eye on things / quickly update table names. I'll start and use this quite a bit I think. Cheers. Pierre.

Hi Leila, I love watching your videos, and have learned a great deal from you over the time. I work in consulting. Each day, I work on several projects and each with several tasks. I have been thinking of creating an integrated excel tool that would function as a time tracker for everyday (a timesheet); a to do list for everyday and a dashboard illustrating with a nice chart the various tasks I would have worked on in a given period (for example, budgeting, scheduling, communication, strategy, etc.). This tool would allow me to filter the chart results for any given time - it could be specific, weeks, or months. This could be used to show a summary of performance / work completed in a given period of time (for example, to a supervisor as part of performance review). I was thinking the graph would utilize the data from the time tracker, which would be filled in daily and perhaps archived into a separate sheet so that I have clean tracker for everyday (same would go for the to do list). Is there a cleaner and faster way to do this? It would be nice if you could kindly make a video on this. :) Many thanks in advance.

🎉 Great and useful tips as always! Thank you so much. ❤

😮 with #3 you changed my day 😂 thanks. Have a good day

I still aspire to someday soar with eagles like Leila, ... but alas, today I am only a parakeet with great ambitions ... 😥 Favorite tips #9 & #10. Thank you ... thank you ... thank you ... 😍😍😍 PS Hot coffee with a slice of pound cake and a Leila video ... a wonderful way to start my Thursday.

3, 7 and 10 - great to get to learn new ways to work with Power Query - thank you.

After extensive use of Power Query as an analyst in an SME that hasn't quite grown to needing a CRM and has disaggregated data, my 2 biggest efficiencies additional to what you've mentioned in this video have been: 1) Disabling "Enable background refresh" under query properties. When you have either many small or several large resource intense queries that you can't push further upstream (into SQL for example), this will force excel to execute the code in a single query at a time, drastically increasing refresh speed in my experience. It is also necessary to deselect this option if you want a MsgBox in VBA to appear AFTER the refresh has executed (really great feature for non savvy end users IMO). You'll also need to do this if you ever want to wrap a query refresh in a timer function in VBA to measure how long your queries take to refresh, which is great for the developer side of things. 2) Disabling M intellisense. Under Query Options > Global > Power Query Editor > Formula, there is the option to enable/disable M Intellisense. Having this enabled can be very handy when you're new to M code, but if you've been using it for a while, your projects are becoming larger and you find yourself manually editing the M code, this was an incredible timesave for me. Intellisense requires an insane amount of resources, so disabling it turned manually editing M code from borderline undoable to near instantaneous for me. Special mention: Ensure that you have fast data load enabled on BOTH individual queries AND under the Global > Data Load option. Global > Data Load will supersede individual queries, so if it's not enabled, your queries will still load slowly even if they individually have fast data load enabled.

I usually open two files in separate Excel instances and have to PQ editors. This allows me to copy queries between them more comfortable.

Table Names in the QAT literally just blew my mind. So good. Thank you!

Nice tricks. I knew a handful of those . on your tip # 3 ( It could be 3.1) if you type the first letters of the function for example Excel.Workbook you simpy type in EW , the function will appear. Same with Table.PromoteHeader you type TPH and the function shows in the formula Bar I use this a lot and it is a time saver. Regards

Thanks for the tips Leila!

I liked the Slicer function. I didn't even know about Power Query a couple days ago, now I'm assigned to learn all about it and how to use it in gathering our testing results.

So many good ones No.4 is a life saver when on multi-screen setup excel decides making tables xxxl is the way to go (really excel?) No 7 makes the housekeeping easier which is cool too

Cool video, the only one that was new to me was the alt F12 to bring up the Power Query Editor, you can also use the right click key and 'G' to do the same thing.

thank you so much Leila

Wow, great session! Thanks for sharing these awesome tips. Just a quick question: Is there a way to schedule a connection refresh in Excel ? For instance, I have an Excel file connected to a tabular cube, and I'm curious if there's a method to automatically reschedule and update the file without opening the excel at all. Basically this file is pulling data via cube formulas. Can you please shed some light on this? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for this great video.

Thanks for the video. With regards to your course, if I enroll will it be available permanently o just for a period?

Hi @LeilaGharani, thanks for your valuable tips and tricks. I was wondering if there is any faster way instead of a slicer to automatically select the last working date of any month? Suppose June 30th but for all years and clients data it might be not exactly 30th. So we may need to select any nearest early date or after date. Any joy?

Tip #8 is my favorite; thank you for all the tips!

Thanks, #6 is really cool.

Amazing tips. You are a true master!

I used power query and Excel to create a dynamic PV tool to calculate PV energy yield with the help of PVGIS Web API, compare individuel yield years to electricity consumption to simulate own consumption rates, optional battery simulation, dynamicly chart it, generate presentation ready tables and graphics. Features 1 to 8 PV configurations in one calculation (like for different roofs). Just with new Excel features like spill and Power Query. It's super stable and in use since 2 years. What's really cool but quite complicated is wrapping code into functions. 🥰 Love how clean PowerQuery code can be produced, while most people's UI created code is a mess that breaks on minor disturbances 😅

#9 Slicers makes for a user-friendly table. Great tip. Thx.
