Can I share Power Query's queries to Public ?

Can I share Power Query's queries to Public ?
I want to share my queries on my friends.
Now, I share my queries by sharing Excel files by OneDrive.
My friends copy and paste queries from my Excel files.
It hard to search and update rather than Power BI's sharing query.

It's something we're considering but don't support today.

Can anyone share the query for inventory aging report

Is there any standard reports for inventory aging in oracle ebs 12.1.3 ....... If not can anyone share the query for inventory aging report

Hi,
It may not be so simple as you are trying to reproduce the historical value. I believe you have to create a temporary table first. Or you may use Command feather to get the required data in advance.
Thanks,

Can I use Power Query to Import a table from Excel sheet range which starts not from the top row?

Hi,
Being an experienced Excel user before Power BI, I am just starting to explore the M and Power Query capabilities, and need help already (ain't easy to google this use case somehow):
I need to import the table which sits in the Excel file with header row in the row 17 of Excel sheet, with some metadata header in the preceding rows of the columns A and B.
01: Report name, Quick Report
02: Report Date, 1/1/2014
17: Employee Name, Manager, etc...
18: John Doe, Matt Beaver, etc.
Both (a) direct attempt to load as Excel file and (b) the indirect way through [From Folder] and formula in custom column -- both lead to the same error: "[DataFormat.Error] External table is not in the expected format."
Specifically, I tried to use the [Power Query -> From File -> From Folder] functionality, select an Excel file and add a custom column to access the binary content: [Add Custom Column] with formula "=Excel.Workbook([Content])".
It looks like Power Query expects a rectangular range with headers full-width followed by a contiguous table range to import anything, and refuses to load if that is not the case...
QUESTION: Is there any way to load whatever-formatted data from Excel first, and then manipulate the overall imported range (like referring to rows starting from 17th using "Table.SelectRows" etc.) to read the actual data? Reading and using
the metadata from header would be a bonus, but that comes second... The main issue is to get something from a non-regular Excel file to later work with using M formulae ...
Thanks!

Finally found the answer to this one in ():
You Cannot Open a Password-Protected Workbook
If the Excel workbook is protected by a password, you
cannot open it for data access, even by supplying the correct password with
your connection settings, unless the workbook file is already open in the
Microsoft Excel application. If you try, you receive the following error
message:
Could not decrypt file.
ANSWER: So, will have either weave in the work with temporary unprotected files or requires opening them before updating the data source (although this almost defeats the purpose of automation...)
ANSWER to ORIGINAL QUESTION: password was preventing Power Query from reading the Excel file. For solution see above.
Thanks anyway for participation and inspiration, Imke!

Can't Enable Power Query Add In

I have the same issue as described by Bill on April 1, 2014.
I am using Win-7 Enterprise SP-1 64-bit; MS-Office Professional Plus 2010 ver: 14.0.7140.5000 (32-bit) and have been using Power Query (32-bit) Add-in on Excel for the past 12-18 months. I have regularly been notified of available PQ upgrades and have
installed them successfully.
Yesterday, I opened Excel, but PQ was not enabled. The Office Add-in manager shows that PQ is disabled. I attempted to enable the COM Add-In but to no avail. The Add-In location folder for PQ shows (C:Windows\SysWOW64\mscorre.dll). That
folder and file is at that location. Going through the enabling process produces no positive result and no warning message complaints.
I visited MS Power Query download site, downloaded the latest PQ and ran the install. I choose all the default responses during the install and got no warning messages. I an still unable to enable PQ.
Any help anyone may provide would be appreciated!

If you go into the registry (through regedit), what is the value of LoadBehavior when you navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\Microsoft.Mashup.Client.Excel?
Is it 0x00000003 (3)?

How can I create dynamic file references in Power Query?

Hi all,
I'm new at using PowerQuery, and so far I like it. There's one thing I am struggling with though... Once I have set up my PoweQuery connections, I don't find an easy way to change the file to which the query is connecting. I'm using it for a monthyl recurring
process, and every month the source data to query on woudl be different. The same in format/structure, but just a different dataset.
Is there a way to make the source setup more dynamic? Can I for example in a parameters sheet enter the name and path of the new source file and update the queries?
Currently the Advanced editor shows me following file reference:
let
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("Z:\Templates\EMEA\Source Data Tables\EMEA_EW_Source_Data_for_Power_Queries v1.xlsm")),
Thanks in advance for suggestions

Yes, this is something that you can do with Power Query. Here's how you can do it:
Create a table in Excel containing your parameter value. Let's say that it has one column, called ParameterValue, and one row.
Create a new Power Query query that gets the data from this table. Call the query something like ParameterQuery.
In your original query you will now be able to reference values from your parameter query by saying something like this:
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(ParameterQuery[ParameterValue]{0})),

Remove Power Query queries while keeping the query output tables

I use power query to load data from external sources into several excel tables. Before sending this excel to a client, I would like to remove all power query queries (M code) while keeping the output/query tables at place.
My current workaround is:
unload Power Query
convert each table to range
load Power Query
delete queries (M code)
Is there a better/faster way to achieve what I want?

You can unlink the existing tables and remove custom XML data in Document Inspector. No need to duplicate the worksheet.
exactly. and even unlinking the tables is not neccessary for DocInspector to remove the custom XML of PQ.
Do you have any suggestion on how to trigger the cleaning of PQ XML code via VBA?
the following code does not work:
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIAll)

New SP Custom List results in Power Query Error: Expression.Error: The key did not match any rows in the table.

Hi,
I'm running into something that seems to be a bug in Power Query. I've got my Power Query tables from SharePoint lists into Excel and Power Pivot data model. (Making sure the SharePoint site is in English and I replace MMD columns with normal columns).
But then, when I close down Excel, add another custom list to SharePoint, open the Excel workbook and want to add that new custom list using the same connection (via recent data sources).
It shows the newly added custom list in the explorer but with an error:
Nothing I can do to fix this; restarting Excel or PC; nothing.
The only way I got around this was by removing all my existing data sources and re-create them..
after that, the same SharePoint custom list WAS read with Power Query without an issue.
Thanks,
Jeroen

Its because of recent updates to Power Query.
In recent updates internally their is some change in syntax for reading particular table from list (I faced this issue while reading data from Excel file, i.e After applying recent update of Power Query my Queries which were working fine before starting
throwing same error that yo are facing).
As solution their is small tweak to be done in existing queries, instead of recreating all queries. If you can provide me your complete old query from Advanced editor then I can point to tweak that need to be done.
Thanks,

Sharepoint 2013 support for power query

Hi,
I wanted to know whether SharePoint 2013 supports power query and can we refresh power query data from excel services.
Thanks,
Bhawna.

Hi Bhawna.,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know whether SharePoint 2013 support Power Query and refresh power query data from excel services.
The refresh of workbooks involving Power Query queries isn't currently available in SharePoint 2013.
Here are some similar posts for you to take a look at:

In addition, I am not an expert for Power Query, you can create a new thread on the Power Query forum, more experts will assist you with this issue.

Power Query SCCM Installation

I have been trying to create a SCCM application which will install Power Query after installing MSOffice Pro Plus 2013. On a machine which has the Office, I can manually install Power Query, however, silent and administrative installs do not work.
Has anyone successfully install Power Query through System Center as a system application (no user interaction)? If so, what am I missing.
Steps taking so far:
Downloaded latest Power Query Software: "PowerQuery_2.13.3688.242 (32-bit) [en-US].msi"
Created a new application from the MSI.
Created a deployment.
Tested deployment on Windows 8.1 Machine. Failed to install.
Tested deployment on Windows 7 Machine. Failed to install.
Tried on both Windows 7 and 8.1 Machines to install by command line (admin command prompt) with /a or /I with /qn and will not install.
In event viewer return code is installation success or error status: 0.
Verified com add-in is not present.
Tried on Windows 7 and 8.1 machines installing with no flags and installs successfully.

Hi,
I've tried to install PQ through SCCM it failed. I'm using command: msiexec /i "PowerQuery_2.16.3785.242
(64-bit) [en-us].msi" /q ACCEPT_EULA=1
This command works when I run cmd as Administrator on local machine (non-domain joined). But when cmd runs as a regular user (this user is local admin) it fails. SCCM tries to run it as local admin.
SCCM gives following error: 0x643 (1603).
Google says that it is related with elevation. Note: Run as Administrator feature blocked on client machines through GPO.
Could someone help me?

Can I share queries that use Web.Contents() need ApiKeyName at Power BI ?

Can I share queries that use Web.Contents() need ApiKeyName at Power BI ?
I want to share queries at Power BI.
These queries include Web.Contents function.
And Web.Contents function have ApiKeyName for Web API authentication.
Ex:
Web.Contents("http://jlp.yahooapis.jp/KeyphraseService/V1/extract", [ Query=[ #"sentence"=t2 ], ApiKeyName="appid" ])
I try share this queries to Power BI.
But I cannot use this query at the other excel workbook.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Ok that makes sense. Thank you for the translation! That error isn't specific to your use of an API key. It is hitting our privacy firewall feature. There is more information here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/privacy-levels-HA104009800.aspx
I encourage you to read that help document to get the full information, but basically it's saying that you're trying to combine two datasources and Power Query doesn't know the relative privacy level of each source. We need that info so we can make sure
that we don't leak private data out to the world.
The error message suggests that you build the query from scratch. When you do that, you'll get prompted for the privacy levels of each source and you won't have this problem. If you want to reuse this query without rebuilding it and you're absolutely sure
that none of the data involved is private, you can disable the privacy firewall by clicking the Fast Combine button. That's located in the Power Query ribbon in Excel in the Workbook Settings group. (Sorry I don't know what that is called in Japanese.)

Can I query to PowerShell scripts from Power Query ?

Can I query to PowerShell scripts from Power Query ?
I want to use PowerShell result for Data Visualization in Excel.
Like importing from web, odata, hdinsight, etc,
I want to import result of PowerShell script.
PowerShell can do a lot of system management.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

This is not possible today and is not something that's likely to be implemented. The combination of being able to easily share queries and being able to easily launch external scripts that can do anything supported by the current user's permissions is
something of a security nightmare.

Delete Power Query queries' custom XML data using VBA

I have Power Query queries in an Excel 2010 file and would like to delete these queries using VBA. so far I can achieve that manually with the following steps:
unload Power Query addin
run Document Inspector and click to delete Custom XML data
The Macro recorder record the following code for step 2.
Sub Makro1()
' Makro1 Makro
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIPrinterPath)
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIDocumentProperties)
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIInactiveDataConnections)
End Sub
However, using this macro I do not achieve the same result (=PQ query code gone from the workbook).
Any ideas on how to achieve the PQ query codes to be removed using VBA?

On some cases Macro Recording is not complete, and misses to record the full set of VBA to automate the actions you record. This is probably such a case.
We are looking into future ways to allow you automate Power Query cleanup.
For the time being, please see if the
Document Inspector interface can clean the custom XML data (which holds the Power Query data structures).
thx, Gil.

Can I update datas of Power Query after making relation tables in Power Pivot ?

Can I update datas of Power Query after making relation tables in Power Pivot ?
I want to update datas at day by day to viewing today's graph by Power View on Excel.
Power Query use to transform web site to Power Pivot data model table.
Power Pivot use to making relasing tables, and making measuers.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata.

Hi Yoshihiro,
Can you share an example of the things you are doing in Power Pivot? There are some operations that prevent the query from being refreshed in Power Query; this is not ideal so we are currently working on fixing it.
Thanks for your feedback.

Can't get my head around Power Query Append

I have 1 spreadsheet with 6 almost identical tabs. I have added each one to PowerQuery and pre-processed it. The result of these 6 queries are 6 identical tables. Now I want to combine them into a single table an import into my data model.
I see there are 2 approaches but neither are intuitive to me. I just want a single query that I select "import to data model" that will append all the data from the other 6 queries.
Can someone give me a step by step guide? All the sites I have looked at tell me how to combine 2 queries but I can't seem to scale the concept.
I realise this seems like a really dumb question - sorry in advance.
With hind site, I think I could use this approach
datapigtechnologies.com/blog/index.php/using-power-query-to-combine-data-from-multiple-excel-files-into-one-table/
I will probably do that anyway.
But I would still appreciate some guidance on the best way to append my 6 tables into 1.

Hi Mally,
Thanks for the feedback. Besides typing in the formula as Chris, Curt and Faisal mentioned, you could also apply Append Queries operations to append tables one by one. Note that if you launch "Append Queries" from the Power Query ribbon tab you will get
a new query every time, but if you do it from the Query Editor dialog ribbon, Power Query adds every Append operation as a new step within the current query.
We are well aware that this 1-by-1 append operation is a shortcoming in the Power Query UX and have plans to address it by letting users add more than one query (i.e. more than one dropdown) in the Append Queries dialog, which will effectively generate a
similar formula to what others on this thread have proposed.
We still don't have details on the timeline for the availability of this improvement to Append Queries, but I wanted to let you know that we are planning to address it.
Thanks for your feedback and for using Power Query.
Regards,
M.
