Drill Down enables us to select a value from a table cell. Value can be saved as a new object or query and then used in further data manipulation. Instead of selecting a single cell we can also select entire column or row.<\/p>\n

Drill down: value<\/h1>\n

Let’s look at an example of using Drill Down. We use the following steps.<\/p>\n

1. Open Power Query editor with Transform data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Select a cell in the table.<\/p>\n

3. Right click and select Drill Down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Value is shown. Formula in formula bar = #”Reordered Columns”{2}[Date] <\/strong>is comprised of the last step name, row index and column name.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Power query starts counting with 0. This means index 0 represents the first line, index 1 second line and index 2 third line.<\/p>\n

5. We could use Add as New Query<\/strong> instead of Drill Down <\/strong>in step 3. We would get a new query that still contains all the previous query steps.<\/p>\n

Value can now be used in further data manipulation. Value is an object of type Value<\/strong>, but we can now convert it to object table by selecting To Table<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drill Down: column or row<\/h1>\n

Instead of single value we can select entire column or row. We repeat the above steps. We get the cell value. We can now edit the formula.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • #”Appended Query2″{2}[Date] \u2013 value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/p>\n

      \n
    • #”Appended Query2″{2} \u2013 3. row<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      <\/p>\n

        \n
      • #”Appended Query2″[Date] \u2013 column Date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        <\/p>\n
