Sorting 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 MoreHow to track changes in the table in Power Query
If you ever had a need to check if anything changed in the new table compared to the previous export, no matter in which column, then this is the article for you. We have created an M script in Excel that uses the left anti join to check for data...
Read MoreSplit packs into single products in Power Query
This is going to be an easy to follow article on how to use PowerQuery to easily change source data granularity for only a subset of data. We used a client’s request to split packs into its components as an inspiration to write this post. You can also download Excel...
Read MoreNested functions and Table.Buffer()
In this blog, we will explain nested functions in Power Query, as well as how to optimize these functions with buffering. By using nested functions and buffering, we will combine most of the advanced M coding. Business Case We will demonstrate the business problem we want to solve with the...
Read MoreDynamically remove top rows in Power Query
Removing top rows is straightforward from within the Power Query user interface and if done only upon one source. The problem arises when we need to remove a dynamic number of top rows from multiple sources and we don’t know the exact number of redundant rows in each source. In...

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...

Read MoreList.Generate() and Looping in PowerQuery
In this blog, we will explain an advanced topic about the M language – using List.Generate to loop over a table. We will combine our knowledge of lists, records, functions, iterations, and looping techniques. Basically, every important object in PowerQuery. Do-while Loop in PowerQuery Do while loop is commonly used...
Read MoreUsing M to dynamically change column names in PowerQuery
In this article, we are going to talk about cleaning and transforming column names dynamically and in a bulk. The article was inspired by a request from a client who had issues exporting data from its data warehousing program to .csv files. Out of an unknown reason, program was adding...
