HOW TO IMPORT DATA ?

IN POWER BI THERE ARE 100 + SOURCES OF DATA WE CAN IMPORT EX EXCEL,SQL,CSV ALSO IF WE CAN SELECT FOLDER INSTEAD OF FILE

WE CAN GET THE DATA IN THHREE WAY

NOW ABOUT DATA

1 THE GIVEN DATA ALWAYS MESSY’

2 THE DATA MY BE IN THE DIFFERENT COLUMN WE HAVE APPEND THE DATA OR JOIN THE DATA

3 WE NEED TO CHECK NA VALUES OR MISSING VALUES, DUPLICATES , MISSING COUMNS

SO OUR WORK IS TO DO THE FOLLWING THINGS

1 FIRST UNDERSTAND THE DATA VERY CAREFULLY WHAT IS GIVEN HOW IT IS GIVEN

2 TRANSFOMATION WE DO IT BY ATL TOOL WHICH IS POWER QUERY IN POWER BI


SO IN THE EXAMPLE OF CUSTOMERS TABLE

THESE G AND R ARE SAME AS GOLD AND REGULAR SO WE NEED TO FIX THIS BUT WE DONOT TO THIS IN EXCEL BECAUSE IF THE NEW DATA CAME WE NEED TO
THE THINGS AGAIN

SO WE TRANSFORM THESE THINGS IN POWER BI BECAUSE IT IS AN AUTOMATION TOOL SO THAT IF NEW DATA CAME THE TRANSFORMATION APPLIED TO IT
AUTOMATICALLY

NOW NOTE IF WE WANT TO CHECK THE DATA HAVE BLANK ROW OR NOT WE JUST SIMPLY TYPLE CTRL+ALT+T TO GROUP BY THINGS IN UNIQUE VALUE OF THAT
COLLUMN OR IF THERE ARE ANY UNIQUE VALUE WHICH SHOULD NOT BE THERE WE CAN CHECK IT FROM THAT IN EXCEL

NOW IF WE WANT TO TRANSFORM THE DATA SO DON’T LOAD THE DATA DIRECTLY FIRST TAP ON THE TRANSFORM DATA

NOW CLICK ON THE TRANSFROM DATA AFTER SELCTING EACH TABLE IF THERE WE NEED TO CLEAN OR TRANFORM THINGS

IF NO TABLE NEED THIS THEN JUST CLICK ON THE LOAD DATA SINCE OUR TABLE NEED TO FIX G AND R IN CUSTOMER DETAILS SO WE CLICK ON TRANSFORM
DATA
THIS IS POWER QUERY EDITOR ALMOST LOOK LIKE SAME AS BEFORE

NOW THESE ARE CALLED QUERY IN GENERAL NOT TABLE

WE CAN CHECK THE COLUMN QUALITY LIKE THERE IS ERROR OR NOT IN VIEW GROUP IN RIBBON CLICK ON THE COLUMN QUALITY

NOW TO FIX HE COLUIMN LIKE RELPLACE THE VALUE FIRST GO TO THE QUERY THAT MNEANS THE TABLE HERE ALSO CLICK ON THE HEAD OF THE COLUMN
WHICH COLUMN NEED TO BE FIXED THEN

CLICK ON THE

HOME TAB

THEN

REPLACE VALUE ON THE TRANSFORM RIBBON


DON’T CLICK ON OK BECAUSE THERE WILL BE PROBLEM IT WILL CHANGE G TO GOLD WHERE G WAS WRIITEN SO THERE WILL BE PROBLEM IN IN GOLD AS
WELL IT CHALGES TO GOLDOLD

Note that power query has not ctrl +z ie the undo

WE CAN CHECK THAT RIGHT SIDE THE RE IS UNDO OPTION LIKE THE CROSS OPTION THAT IS THE OUR UNDO

SO HOW TO DO WE HAVE TO CLICK ON ADVANCED AND THEN CLICK ON THE MATCH ADVANCE CELL ELEMENTS

SAME DO WITH R
NOW IF ALL ARE OK CLICK ON CLOSE AND APPLY ON THE LEFT SIDE

AFTER THAT IT WILL LOAD THE DATA YOU CAN CHECK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OR THE TABLE VIEW

NOW IF WE WANT TO IMPORT DATA FROM SQL IT WILL SHOW US TWO THING 1 IMPORT QOERY 2 DIRECT QUERY
SO IN IMPORT QUERY MODE THE MAXIMUM DATA UPTO 1 GB IT ALSO FAST QUERY AND PROCESS SINCE IT LINKED WITH POWER BI ITSELF BUT FOR
DIRECTQUERY THE DATA IS BIG AND IT COME FROM SERVER NOT DIRECTLY HAVE IN POWER BI NOT STORED IN POWER BI
