ANNOUNCING POWER QUERY DATA TYPES

‎Oct 29 2020 05:58 AM

We are excited to announce a new and exciting update to Get & Transform Data
capabilities in Excel – Power Query data types! This tool will help you organize
your data better and consume it easily.

 

Power Query data types are available as part of an Office 365 subscription. If
you are an Office 365 subscriber, find out how to get the latest updates.

 

The following sections describe how create data types with Power Query and how
to consume them in Excel.

 

Power Query data types 

Power Query is a powerful and time-saving tool used to gather and analyze large
sets of data by organizing them in a way that will make its consumption in Excel
much easier. With this feature, you can create custom data types from any and
load them in the Excel grid as rich values.  

 

How to use it 

 1. Start with importing the data set using Power Query.
    
    
    
    
 2. In the Power Query Editor, select the relevant columns, and then click
    the Create Data Type button on the Transform tab.
    
    
    
    
 3. Define the data type name and choose a display column.
    
    
    
    
 4. Notice the selected columns are collapsed into a single data type column and
    click the Close and Load button on the Home tab to load the query into
    Excel.
    
    
    
    
 5. Easily consume and explore the output of the query in Excel with interactive
    data cards and formulas that reference your rich values.
    
    
    
    
    

 

Scenarios to try

Interact with the data types:

Check out the data type fields by clicking the  icon the cell, and then open the
associated card.

Extract fields to the grid by clicking the  button. Use the data type fields in
Excel formulas by referencing to a cell with a data type.

Refresh data types by clicking the   button – from the data type context menu,
the respective query context menu, or the Data tab in the Excel ribbon.


 

Requirements
To use Power Query data types in Excel, you must meet these requirements:
• You are in an organization with an Office 365 subscription.
• You are using Excel for Windows.

about it!

@Mynda Treacy , everyone in this world who knows something about Excel knows you
as Excel MVP, but why don't you ask techcommunity@microsoft.com to change your
status on this resource accordingly. @cuong ?

@Sergei Baklan Thanks!

Current Channel - rolling to Production as we speak.

MEC should follow, so estimating a few weeks.

Semi-Annual - next year, not sure yet if Jan/Jun (depends on stability and other
factors).

This is a real game changer. Not as big as Power Query (of which this is a
capability enhancement), but bigger than dynamic arrays (which rocked our small
company’s world). I’ve been trying to hold my breath about its GA release since
I saw Mynda’s preview on YouTube. Now, I will exhale & breathe. Well done, Excel
Team!

Custom Data Types cannot have hierarchical records without flattening them out
first and re-creating a new custom object.

 

Another missing feature is a tie-in with dynamic arrays. A Custom Data Type with
a List object within one of the properties would be an exceptional opportunity.

 

Any chance these types of features are in the works?

Hey @Phil Trick ,

Are you referring to nesting of data types? 

For example, a data type that is included within a data type (this could be a
list within a data type, as you mentioned).

If so, it is indeed part of our next phase for PQ data types. Keep following
Excel publications

Will there be a "DataType supplier" interface at some point? For example, the
industry standard for some sectors of the financial markets is Bloomberg, which
has its own API for accessing data. Ideally one would be able to create a "Bond"
datatype (for example) and have its details (ISIN code, coupon, maturity, yield
and price history) loaded from Bloomberg.

Put another way, what does a data source have to do to make itself accessible to
the new DataType functionality?

Is the compound data saved with the Workbook, or does Excel have to reload each
time the Workbook is opened?



Will DataTypes be accessible/understood by VBA or the C-API? ie can we programme
with them? Currently if I try to pass a range containing one of the new
DataTypes to VBA, the parameter simply contains an error code (2015). 

Maybe this is the first step towards Excel being able to hold "state"?
Developers of financial (and other) analytic software aimed at Excel usually
have to build a "handle" layer, whereby the reference to a complex structure
held in memory (eg might be a simulation result set, or a yield curve etc) is
stored in an Excel cell (most commonly as a string with a calculation counter).
This handle is then passed to the analytics function, which uses it to find the
object's data in memory. It is clunky but necessary as Excel is (was?)
restricted to holding single built-in types in a cell.

Hey @DS_London ,

 

Thanks for the feedback.

These are all great ideas, and we are actually considering them for the future.

Regarding reloading data - we do save the data accessed in the workbook.

Hi @Arun Kumar ,

 

Power Query data types will be included in the next Semi-Annual release
(January), so you should be able to use it pretty soon.

interesting, but honestly, who would have predicted what these 'data types' were
all about.  It's a managed information card.  Wish presenters and software folks
could define their subject properly so one doesn't have to spend ten minutes
deciding whether it is in my ball park or not.

@jokahati Is there already a release of the Power Query data types?
I am using version 2108("latest version in the group") and unfortunately I don't
have access yet.
