Split Column in Power Query

 


Split Column

In Power Query, a column of text can be split into multiple columns and in a number of different ways to achieve the results you want. By default, the name of the new columns contains the same name as the original column with a suffix of a period (.) and a number that represents each split section from the original column. You can then rename the column.

Rank Function

How to Use the RANK Function If you give the RANK function a number, and a list of numbers, it will tell you the rank of that number in the list, either in ascending or descending order. For example, in the screen shot below, there is a list of 10 student test scores, in cells B2:B11. To find the rank of the the first student's score in cell B2, enter this formula in cell C2: =RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$11) Then, copy the formula from cell C2 down to cell C11, and the scores will be ranked in descending order. RANK Function Arguments There are 3 arguments for the RANK function: number : in the above example, the number to rank is in cell  B2 ref : We want to compare the number to the list of numbers in cells  $B$2:$B$11 . Use an absolute reference ($B$2:$B11), instead of a relative reference (B2:B11)so the referenced range will stay the same when you copy the formula down to the cells below order : (optional) This argument tells Excel whether to rank the list in ascending or descending o...

Basics of Microsoft Excel

A. Microsoft Excel Basics of Excel   There are 5 important areas in the screen. 1. Quick Access Toolbar: This is a place where all the important tools can be placed. When you start Excel for the very first time, it has only 3 icons (Save, Undo, Redo). But you can add any feature of Excel to to Quick Access Toolbar so that you can easily access it from anywhere (hence the name). 2. Ribbon: Ribbon is like an expanded menu. It depicts all the features of Excel in easy to understand form. Since Excel has 1000s of features, they are grouped in to several ribbons. The most important ribbons are – Home, Insert, Formulas, Page Layout & Data. 3. Formula Bar: This is where any calculations or formulas you write will appear. You will understand the relevance of it once you start building formulas. 4. Spreadsheet Grid: This is where all your numbers, data, charts & drawings will go.

Up and Down Markers using Conditional Formatting

There is a super-obscure way to add up/down markers to a pivot table to indicate an increase or a decrease. Somewhere outside the pivot table, add columns to show increases or decreases. In the figure below, the difference between I6 and H6 is 3, but you just want to record this as a positive change. Use  SIGN(I6-H6)  to get either +1, 0, or -1. Select the two-column range showing the sign of the change and then select Home, Conditional Formatting, Icon Sets, 3 Triangles. (I have no idea why Microsoft called this option 3 Triangles, when it is clearly 2 Triangles and a Dash, as shown below.) With the same range selected, now select Home, Conditional Formatting, Manage Rules, Edit Rule. Check the Show Icon Only checkbox. With the same range selected, press  Ctrl+C  to copy. Select the first Tuesday cell in the pivot table. From the Home tab, open the Paste dropdown and choose Linked Picture. Excel pastes a live picture of the icons above the table. At this point, adju...
