      It is because I have used Excel so long and remember when we did not have these features, and we had to update manually... It was so tedious and took so long. Now... when I use our new tools Power Query, Power Pivot, Data Model and Poser BI, I just can't believe how fast and easy it is to update : )

    Thanks Mike, Great solution. Those were many, many tricks on PQ. Now looking forward to Power Pivot and DAX. Since you talked about the ISOdate,, I was also looking for ISO weeknr. In Europe you have to use in Excel: Weeknr(date;21). Where 21 is the "optional" code to specify which system you use. In older Excel versions, you can only choose for 1 or 2. However in M, this is different. I compared this with Excel and came to following result: Power Query 0 = the 1 in Excel, PQ 1 = 2 in Excel. I saw some post on the internet how to enter correct weeknumbers. At this moment I must say that Excel has a better weeknr formula than PQ. Why is this all relevant? Well maybe you recieve files with weeknrs from different regions and then you have to harmonize them. Greetings, Bart

Is it possible to still see the 22/01/2018 as a number so both date columns would be 22/01/2018 and 01/22/2018 respectively? Thanks

    Question: What monetary unit are the sales figures from countries other than USA being reported in?
    If it's US Dollars great, but you didn't mention what the monetary unit was, and since the date format wasn't being reported as a US date format, it would lead me to suspect the verasitiy of the monetary unit.
