    In power query there is a remove rows feature. How does it decide what rows to cut? In excel under data if you did a remove duplicates it would leave the top entry and all subsequent dupes would be removed. I’m not seeing this same functionality in the remove rows. Regardless of how I sort prior to remove rows the removal seems random.

      This can be achieved using the same approach. E.g. in Excel, combine all 6 columns to create the unique identifier. Or use Power Query and select all 6 when doing the merge.

    • @excelwithpaolo
      @excelwithpaolo 9 місяців тому

      Not sure I understand what you mean by bypass, but Power Query follows the steps in order. So if you append a new data source after the group by steps, they will not be merged with the other rows.

      @computerdaddymultimedia281 It's a little tricky. You could first consolidate all your files, then take the oldest record for each widget (assuming you have a date stamp for each record which is easy to add), and then merge duplicates. This would merge the data from the older records and ignore the newer ones.

    Is it possible to have a cell that tallies the total of all amounts in a column in which another column in that row has a letter entry? For example, if you have a row in a finance table, with venue, date, amount and method (C-cash, V=credit card and P=Paypal) columns, then cell H7 would equal all the amounts in the column in which that letter is in the method column? LIke "=total of amounts in amount column in which method column = C?

In my "VLOOKUP with multiple lookup values" video, I also work through an advanced merge with multiple criteria in the second half of the video: ua-cam.com/video/knDFK4XtldM/v-deo.html Another thing you may want to look into is "fuzzy" matching in Power Query.
