Posted on by Reza Rad

Thanks you all attendees of my PASS Summit 2014 session on Power Query.

It
was a pleasure to have all of you in my session. I also appreciate Alberto, Chris, Devin, Donabel, and Rafael who dedicated some of their times to attend in my session. I hope this be an informative session for all of you.

Session Title:

Top Five Power Query M Functions that You Don’t Know [BID-309]

Session Description:

Join this session to learn about applying advanced transformation through M language. M is the formula language of the Power Query and is much more powerful than the Power Query GUI functions.
In this session, you will learn more about the top functionality of M that does not exist in the GUI, but is very helpful in ETL implementation. Features such as error handling, working with generators, and custom functions will all be discussed.
You will also see lots of real-world live demos, one of which will be sample a date dimension with fiscal calendar attributes and public holidays fetched live.
