Why Should You Learn M?

When I started working with Power Query, I felt as if I had found a “Genie”.

It was way too simple to connect data from multiple sources, clean it up and use that data for further analysis.

The best part – Power Query’s work is reusable. The next time anything changes, just hit refresh.

But as I started to solve more dense / trickier problems my refreshes failed. WHY?

Because something was hard-coded or the query wasn’t dynamic enough to account for the data source change.

My Genie wasn’t good enough anymore, until I powered my Genie with “M” a.k.a. Power Query’s functional language.

Since then using M, I have been able to…

Make my queries super dynamic.
Resolved and reported complex errors.
And (most importantly) build very clean and performant data models.

I’ve come a long way and in the process have built some very sophisticated queries, all thanks to Power Query’s M Language.

M v/s Power Query User Interface

Here is a quick demo of what the M language is capable of doing as compared to Power Query’s User Interface.

But Learning M is Hard!

When I first peeked into Power Query’s Advanced Editor and saw M, I literally said it out loud. “What are these worms floating around?”. It was so intimidating

Here is what makes M hard…

It looks weird and scary with all the possible brackets and special characters; we aren’t designed to look at code like this.
And to an Excel user, it might be very difficult to comprehend concepts like lists, records, tables, data types, and manipulating these objects.

I am here to make learning M easier than struggling on your own.

How my Teaching Method is Different!

➜ No Jargons, just simple English.

I hate jargons and I don’t use them in my course.
In this course, I’ll go the greatest extent to demystify Power Query jargons.

➜ Developing a Problem-Solving Mindset.

Rather than mugging Power Query functions one after the other, I focus on teaching you how to structure and solve problems.
I do teach functions but more importantly, I teach you to develop a problem solving mindset so that you can solve problems beyond the cases discussed in this course.

➜ Case Based Learning.

For almost all the concepts covered in this course, I teach them using a practical problem / case study.
This approach helps to visualize the application of the concept.

Wiel Souren

Hello everyone, my name is Wiel Souren and I’m living in the Netherlands. At this moment I’m using PQ together with Excel. It is giving me enormous added value in grabbing data and turning these data into information ! I heard Of Chandeep when I searching into YouTube for PQ education films. I really like his manner Of explanation. In order to learn more [and also learn DAX and Power BI] I bought the package DAX and PQ. Reg, Wiel Souren.

Chandeep you don’t stop amazing us with you briliant ideas. Can I sign up for this course please?

bradj229

I’ve taken a lot of training and read multiple DAX books, bit the way you approach and analyze problems makes me want to purchase your course as well. Not because I haven’t seen the material already, but because I can learn from your unique approach that I haven’t seen others use before. (thought you should know). Thanks!

Goodly, you are nothing but a good teacher of Power Query. This video is nothing but full of helpful instructions. I am nothing but a beginner in Power Bi. With all due respect and maybe you have already notice that you like saying in your video the filler word “nothing but”.

McKaySavage

Helpful tip! I really appreciate your focus on sharing M code in little snippets, patterns and challenges. There are a lot of creators producing for JavaScript, Python and Excel, and quite a few for Power BI and Power Query’s point-and-click tools, but you’re in a rare space focusing on coding with it’s M language and that’s great. Thanks man!

Hi, My name is Chandeep, I’ll be your Instructor.

I am assuming that you already know me through my Blog or YouTube Channel, but if you are new around here, here are a few things about me.

I stay in Gurgaon India, and used to work as a Financial Analyst for an Investment Bank in Mumbai (India). Back in December 2013 I quit my full time job to start Goodly.

Being an Analyst, I became really good with Excel and I now teach Excel and PowerBI around the world through Online Courses, Blog, YouTube and LIVE Corporate Training Programs.

Hi Chandeep (not Goodly)…. 🙂
Thank You for this important information which, indeed, is basic for newbies like me. And especially Kudos! for your ability to “tell” and simplify complicated concepts. See you soon.

I absolutely love Chandeeps’ channel. But I am still puzzled with one question to which I can’t find an answer no matter how many times I query it: how many caps does Chandeep wear? thank you so much. Your channel is a gold mine.
