How to add a user interaction into Power Query

Reports are crucial to your work, aren't they? Power Query is a valuable tool for importing many types of data into Excel to help you create these reports.

However, it does have limitations.

In this episode, you'll learn how to address one of Power Query's key shortcomings: user interactions.

By using staging queries, reference techniques and range names, users can dynamically filter data within Power Query based on user-selected criteria.

For fast access, use these timestamps:

  1. 0:17 – About the variable Power Query function
  2. 3:37 – Implementing the query function
  3. 5:46 – Using a range name for a table
  4. 7:07 – Using a query to read the variable input
  5. 9:43 – Refreshing the power query
  6. 10:11 – Recap and use cases

Listen now to learn how to add a user interaction into Power Query.
