Description

Latest version release notes

20190423
-Inclusion of all entities
-Errors when generating queries based on custom FetchXML with entities not available in Advanced Find has been fixed. It is now possible to pass any query generated in the FetchXML Builder to the Power Query Builder, either manually or using the integration.
-RelativePath in web.content calls
We have added the use of RelativePath to the web.content calls. Whereas the current setup would create a connection for each entity in the Power BI service, using RelativePath will reduce it to only one connection that needs to be maintained for refreshes etc.
Big thanks to hanksteen on GitHub for the suggestion. https://github.com/ITLec/PowerQueryBuilder/issues/26
-Date formatting
The current transformations for custom date and time fields, formatted as date only, would generate errors. We have changed all the date fields to only retrieve the formatted value via the FetchXML, which fixes this error. The added benefit is that all dates and times are now retrieved in the users local time zone rather than UTC. Data still includes time zone details.

Dear Sir, I need to merge excel worksheets from multiple files in a single excel (master) file accordingly to their worksheet name. - If the worksheet already exists in the master file then it will insert (merge) data / rows below to existing data row in the master sheet or if not exist then will create new sheet and insert data as per source file rows. = It will not analysis /compare column title / header, but will - unhide all rows and column, copy and Paste Special Value from 1st row / column till end (row by row) from the source file to available lower cells of Master File like a manual task. - Delete blank rows, unhide all rows and column of the source file before copy. - While inserting each row, It will add file name in the first column. (similar to Microsoft Power Query). - There should have “Check” with number select option for how many rows escape from up / start from all source sheets (which is always “Header row / title”) while copy and pasting in the master file from source data. In short, simple and with only one above option, it should work as a manual system. Just copy from one sheet to master sheet without compare / any analyzing work. Hope you will help me to give a solution in this regard. Regards, Ali Khan alishoki@gmail.com
