How to use Power Query to load data from a single source into multiple tables

Hi all,
I have a requirement to load my data into three different data models using Power Query. Is that possible?
My source is a SharePoint survey list, with similar questions like:
1) Course lecturer - John Doe
1a) The course was useful (rate 1 to 5)
1b) The lecturer displayed good knowledge of topic (rate 1 to 5)
2) Course Lecturer - Mary Brown
2a) The course was useful (rate 1 to 5)
2b) The lecturer displayed good knowledge of topic (rate 1 to 5)
I would like to split the data into separate data models (one for John Doe; another for Mary Brown), so that I can compare the different lecturers. Other than running separate surveys for each of them, I thought of using Power Query to transform the data.
Is it possible?
Thanks.
Regards
GM

Yes, this is possible.
Start with a single query that returns you the data for all lecturers.
Right-click on the "all lecturers" query in the queries pane, and choose Reference, once for each lecturer. This will create a query for each lecturer.
Open the query for each lecturer and filter the data so that only that lecturer's results are visible.
Click "Close & Load To..." for each lecturer's query to load the data into the data model. This will create a data model table for each lecturer.
If your question is more about how to transform such a survey list into a table that can be easily filtered, please provide an example of how the list shows up in Power Query.

Loading data from two flat files into one table

Use external tables.
If using Oracle9 or higher connect both your csv with database as separate external tables and load the requited fields in new/requited table.

POWER QUERY Get External Data From File From Folder (Excel 2013)

Hi,
Beginner's question :
What could be the use of the query on a folder : we just get a list of files with their path. What can we do with that?
Thanks

Hi,
Do you want to combine data from multiple Excel Files in the same folder path into one table? If I understand correct, we can add a custom column to import the data.
After we getting a list of files with their path, the Query Editor window will activate to show you a table containing a record for each file in the chosen directory. These will provide our function with the needed FilePath and FileName parameters.
Function sample: File name([Folder path],[Field name]
For more detailed steps, please see the article:

How to extract data from xml and insert into Oracle table

How to use power query with sitecatalyst

Hello,
I need to use power query to import a table from sitecatalyst. Doing some tests I found that If remove the session from the url that has the report parameters, the app will redirect me to the login page, after entering the company, username and password
it will load the report page with the data according to my filters.
When I add the report url on the From Web option, excel does not allow me to add credentials. If I add the login+redirect url it allows me to add user/password but does not load the tables that appear on a regular browser.
Is it possible to consume sitecatalyst without using Report Builder? If not, how you access the security info after you added the url.
Thanks.

To the best of my ability to tell, the right way to use this product from within Power Query would be to use its API. Unfortunately, we don't currently support either of the methods needed to be able to authenticate with the service (OAuth 2.0 and a relatively-custom
digest-based method). Adding a mechanism to allow use of arbitrary OAuth-protected resources is a fairly high priority for us, and I hope we'll be able to deliver something before mid-2015.
Scraping the website is very hard to do well -- both from an authentication and from a data discovery perspective.

Loading data from APO-BW cube into DP planning area

Hello,
Please explain to me how to load data from an infocube within APO into the DP planning area. So far, I generated the data mart, created the update rules for the DP planning area (cube) and replicated data sources. The problem that I am having is that when I create the infopackage, there is no data targets on the data target tab. How can I get the data targets to display? All the other actions appear to be set up correctly (confirmed by BW experts). Can data be loaded from an APO-BW cube directly to the DP planning area cube?
Thanks

Hi James,
Loading of data from an InfoCube to a Planning Area is done using transaction /SAPAPO/TSCUBE (program /SAPAPO/RTSINPUT_CUBE). You just specify the InfoCube, target Planning Area, Selection condition, Infocube Key Figure to PA KF mapping, etc).
Have you tried this transaction already?
Hope this helps.

Need help in loading data from a csv file to a table in Oracle DB

Hi,
I am using sqlplus as a client to connect to the server.
I am trying to load data from a csv file from a client to a table in Oracle DB server.
I am trying to use the below command
" LOAD DATA INFILE 'test.csv' INTO TABLE testTable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' (test1,test2,testc3,testc4); "
But, I am encountered with the following error
"SP2-0042: unknown command "load data" - rest of line ignored."
Thanks in advance.
SB

Hey Frostmann,
That was a nice post....
I changed my mind to use an 'Insert into' statement from a shell script.
I created a DB table named test and I tried using the below shell script to insert a row in the table.
sqlplus test/test@test <<ENDOFSQL
INSERT INTO test VALUES('test1',123,'test2','test3');
exit
ENDOFSQL
A row is succesfully inserted into the table when I run the script manually, but it does not insert rows when a cron job is scheduled.
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Loading data from a binary source file

Is there a way to load/import data in binary form directly into a table? For example, if I have a file that contains <n> records of the following format:
struct {
long k1;
long k2;
long v1;
long v2;
and a table that looks like:
key1 number(11)
key2 number(11)
value1 number(11)
value2 number(11)
is there a tool to load the data without first having to convert it to delimited text?

Perhaps I should elaborate. I'm trying to load data into a table that can be partitioned, indexed, etc. I always assumed that that meant using 'primitive' types for the column definitions. The challenge is that we deal with very large keyspaces (i.e. lots of rows) and numeric data. Having to convert those values to strings is very costly, having to convert those back to primitives is costly (presumably done by sqlldr or Oracle using an external table), and transmitting that data over the wire is costly.

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

Hi experts, how to use open sql to read data from one " maintenance view"?

i want to use this part of data within report ,so how to use open sql statement to read data from one " maintenance view"?

Hi
You can't use OPEN SQl statements to fetch data from maintenance view
You have to use only Database views
see the different types of views and the difference
The followings are different types of views:
- Database View (SE11)
Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set.
In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.
- Help View ( SE54)
Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.
When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.
- Projection View
Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
- Maintenance View ( SE54 )
Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.
Please have a look at below link. It will help you.
