11. Why Power Query ?
Enable self-service data discovery, query, transformation and mashup experiences
Discovery and connectivity to a wide range of data sources, spanning volume as well as variety of data.
Highly interactive and intuitive experience for rapidly and iteratively building queries over any data source, any size.
Consistencyof experience, and parity of query capabilities over all data sources.
Joinsacross different data sources; ability to create custom views over data that can then be shared with team/department.
12. Data Shaping and Manipulation
•Configure Data Types
•Rename and remove columns
•Insert Custom Columns
•Split Columns (i.e. convert delimited text to columns)
•Sort, Group, merge columns
•Un-pivot Columns
•Filter Data
•Replace Value
•Keep top ‘N’ rows or specific range of rows
•Remove Duplicates
Search data, many sources, many transformations, Extensible by code (M language)
Share to Power BI by data catalog

14. Key Featured Highlights in Power Query
14
Repeatable Steps
Shared Queries
oSee the state of the data before and after each step was applied
oRepeatable steps are repeatable for the same set of data
oSharing of Queries with other users in the organization
oSearch for "Organization" data to discover a shared Power Query
17. Introducing PowerPivot
•PowerPivot empowers business users to create self- service BI data models in Excel
‐Achieved with a client-side version of SQL Server Analysis Services, known as the In-Memory Analytics Engine
‐Columnar Storage: Can efficiently store data volumes far greater than what Excel worksheets can achieve
‐Data is highly compressed and stored
‐Queries are very fast
•Can import and relate data from corporate, local, and ad hoc data stores
•In Excel 2013 Professional Plus edition, PowerPivot is installed, but not enabled

Power Query v/s Power Pivot –Data Sources
20. What is DAX ?
20
DAX (Data Analysis Expression) is a new calculation for Power Pivot
It is a multi dimensional calculation language intended to:
Make it easy to perform common calculations
Make it easy for excel power users, hence Excel based syntax
DAX expressions are designed to be limited as single line of code
Need to understand the data logic built in power pivot data models
Likely to be extended in the future versions of SSAS
21. Types of Calculations in Power Pivot
21
Calculated Columns
CalculatedFields (Measures)
New Calculationin table which performs calculations on a “row by row” basis (row context)
Example: = ‘Employee’[Fname] & “ “ & ‘Employee’[Lname]
New measure in a table which calculatesan aggregated numeric value (not on "rowby row” basis –filter context)
Example: =TOTALMTD ([SalesUnits], ‘Date’[Datekey])
Created in Power Pivot Modelson the columns
Created in Power PivotModel in the “Calculation area” or in the Power Pivot ribbon menu in excel window
Two type of Calculated Fields
a)Explicit : Defined by the data modeler using DAX
b) Implicit: Uses the “Summarize by” behavior specified in the data model
An Explicit Field canbe further used to define a KPI in the data model
