Dynamic bulk insert to Power Apps collection
In one of our latest blog posts, we described a technique used to copy tables from other programs (e.g. Excel) into PowerApps collections. This solution had a drawback. Within the code, the column order was referenced to determine which column to collect. This means that for the first column in...
Read MoreBulk insert to Power Apps collection
In this blog, we will show you the technique used to collect tables for your app by using the bulk insert. We will show you how to make the same table structure in Power Apps as Excel tables. We will use Excel to show you how to copy-paste tabular data...
Read MoreWhy should you start using Power Apps?
In this article, we will take a look at what is Power Apps, why should we use it, and when organizations can benefit from custom apps created in the Power Apps platform.Many organizations are not yet familiarized with Power Apps capabilities, and the ways it can improve their agility, modernize and automate manual processes. What is Power...
Read MoreMerging with date range using Power Query
In this blog, we will see how to merge two tables in Power Query based on key column and a date range. Merging with multiple matching columns is straightforward and can be achieved in Power Query by selecting merge queries option and holding CTRL key when choosing matching columns like...
Read MoreHow to process multiple folders with a single PowerQuery script
Let us imagine the following scenario. We have multiple clients sharing their sales data with us. They store the data in dedicated folders that reside in different places. The number of clients, as well as the number of files for each client, will vary across periods. We wish to create...
Read MoreDynamically expand table or record columns in Power Query
In this article, we will show how to solve a common problem of expanding nested tables or records in Power Query, when the column names of the nested objects vary in numbers. In the second part of the article, we will show a more robust technique for dealing with changing...

Read MoreSorting in Matrix created with calculation groups (PowerBI)
This is the second part of the blog series dedicated to showing workarounds for currently unsupported matrix visual features. In the first part, we explained how to add conditional formatting only for the specified columns, and in this article, we will explain how to introduce sorting. Below, you can test...
Read MoreConditional formatting with Calculation Groups in PowerBI Matrix visual
This is going to be the first of 2 articles explaining how to introduce conditional formatting and sorting when using calculation groups in Matrix visual. It would be great if conditional formatting and sorting could be applied to a calculation item, but until this happens, here is a workaround. Link...
Read MoreIncremental refresh using PowerBI pro and Dataflows
In this article, we will see how we can use the self-referencing technique and Dataflows to create incremental refresh with PowerBI pro version.
Read MorePivottables inside the PowerBI – The DAX way
PivotTables, or pivoting, is by far the best analytical power of Excel. You digest the data and play with it on the fly. Heck, PowerBI is pretty much PivotTables with pretty visuals, just a lot smarter (because of DAX). While PowerBI offers many stunning looking visuals including matrices, they do...

Read MoreHow to split budgets to lower granularity with DAX (PowerBI)
When creating a budgeting prediction, most of the time we are creating it on the higher granularities. Rarely we do it on a daily basis. But sometimes we are required to match budgets to actual sales on lower granularities than the one we previously set (e.q. the manager wishes to...
Read MoreOptimizing distinctcount with reduced memory consumption in PowerBI (VertiPaq)
High cardinality columns are often the problematic part of the data modeling in most environments, including PowerBI. Since the PowerBI data model resides on a columnar database, having high cardinality columns impact both performance and the size of the model. This is especially the case with columns having more than...
Read MorePowerBI One Measure for Multiple Dimensions/Facts – DAX
In this article, we will see how to combine different dimensions and facts inside a single matrix table visual. This approach helps us create fewer measures and tables, but at the same time, it provides us with greater design possibilities, like conditional formatting across the whole column even though there...
