    Fantastic video Leila. The Hot tip is at 14:50 frame. Not many people know that one can in fact do find and replace inside the formula. One can do find and replace the cell ranges in the formula as well. That's really pro way of using Excel. Thanks Cheers :)

      I enjoyed the fill function on Account. I wish I could use that. However data has account in the same column as date i want to remove I want to put account into its own column and date in its own column. How do I do that?

    I'm so glad I found your UA-cam channel. I am doing some volunteer work and previously it took our volunteer treasurer 5+ hours to make the summary financial report that are distributed monthly. Your videos have allowed me to develop my basic Excel skills and automate and upgrade the reports. This video will help in the still time consuming task of cleaning up our source data. Thank you so much.
    I do have one problem - as I transfer values about, my formatting changes. Certain reports have unique formats due to their layouts, and the same information goes into different reports so setting the source format to match the final destination format doesn't work. If you point me in the right direction for this I would appreciate it.

    Every day I do in my office place,
    I do same thing by manually data export to excel from Oracle database by "copy and move" making another worksheet not to destroy original format,
    Will try this time your rules and format, hopefully I will manage it.
    Thank you for your wonderful lesson and video.

  • @MrSupernova111
    @MrSupernova111 2 роки тому

    Brilliant!! I work in finance and every reporting period we have to merge about 20 data tables, group the data by classification, and generate a client report by groupings which vary per client. About a year ago I created an Excel template using nothing but Excel functions. While the template works fine because there are only about a thousand rows of total data, updating the file manually each quarter takes a while because there are about 20 tables that must be added/appended manually. Also, the output page was challenging to create as I need to filter out blank rows and maintain the integrity of each grouping. Imagine a single client report with up to 20 data tables for each grouping. I'm going to re-haul the template using Power Query so in the future all we need to do is drop the client performance data and have Power Query merge and transform the other data directly from the source files (about 20) like you did here. Thank you for another amazing video! Cheers!

  • @franzstreule333
    @franzstreule333 3 роки тому +8

    well done.
    But if this were my task to do, i would not remove the "absolute difference" column and the Sum rows (e.g. "Other Revenue")
    They are the perfect information to check your work for errors.
    In accounting and controlling, you always must assume that something will not add up correctly, and that you will have to search where the error originates.
    But i like the clean-up process.

    The old problem of getting data from a report.
    Legacy reports need to be banished and replaced by data exports. I prefer Tab separated text files because they are easy to work with, though not as good as a direct connection.
    This demonstration demonstrates the advantage of PowerQuery, which exist in Excel and PowerBI.
    Parsing data, regardless of the tool, is knowledge that will advance any career.
