100% is imported directly into PQ.Īs for speed, it depends on where your data is. There is not a single cell of data in Excel's spreadsheet side until I get to that point. I have some very Power Query models with over 100 queries that eventually boil down to 10-12 that get loaded to the Data Model, and then I start working on the Pivot Table. Do it ALL in Power Query, then load those only into the data model. You shouldn't do any work in Excel's spreadsheets either. There are some limited reasons to do it in Power BI when you need it for a slicer and cannot create it in Power Query, or there is some more complex calculation that isn't feasable or possible in Power Query (this is pretty rare though). Calculated columns will not compress, take up more room, and can slow the model down depending on the number of rows, especially on a refresh.
If you can do the math to add a calculated column, do it in Power Query. You should not add Calculated Columns as a rule to your model. Once you get going, you just use the part of the Pivot Fields window that shows Active connections in this Pivot, vs All. Just use the tables/queries that have the little yellow database icon next to them.

The Table section should be "Connection Only"Įven if you do have data in a table you load to Power Query, do some transformations, then load directly into the model, that will show your original table plus the query. If you are loading data, load only to the data model as below.
When building your data, you shouldn't have anything actually in the Excel spreadsheets. Any filtering is visual only, and does not limit what is loaded into the model. You can add columns, but you cannot filter, remove data, or otherwise transform. You cannot do any transformations in Power Pivot's data model. Unless you are accessing SSAS tabular data, you should always use Power Query to import your data.

Let's start with a simple question: how to import the data, this is how I am going about it and these are the issues I have. Recent ClippyPoint Milestones !Ĭongratulations and thank you to these contributors DateĪ community since MaDownload the official /r/Excel Add-in to convert Excel cells into a table that can be posted using reddit's markdown.I am very new to the whole PowerBi World, I depend a lot on it for our daily reporting, but I reckon I am NOT using it in the best way.
