Stay up to date with the latest customer data news, expert guidance, and resources.

What is that customer’s name? Well, there are actually 3 of them.

In this video Brian Grant will walk you through how you can leverage some more advanced features of the Power Query M language to achieve exactly that. He’ll show you both a longer method to help you understand the concepts and a shorter/faster method for when you want to get to the results you need quickly.
