In this video, I try Find All and 2 Advanced Filters. I bet you have something better.

A cool new feature from the MVP Summit: I previously mentioned how Show Changes debuted 9 months ago. Somewhere in the last nine months, the obscure Version History feature (found under File, Info) has gotten much better.

Are you working with more data than you can handle in Power BI Desktop on your machine? Work with the subset of data locally and all the data in the service without using Premium and overcome the memory limitations in the desktop application!
Watch the video below on limiting rows in Power BI in the desktop, for the step by step instructions and deeper explanation.
To summarize, Patrick is working with a data source that has 600k rows. He adds a step in the query to keep top rows, then adds a parameter to trigger whether to bring in all rows, or a subset. He then adds a line to utilize the parameter. Patrick demonstrates the pull with the parameter set to A (all records), and then again using the S (subset) parameter, which pulls in only 100K records.
Patrick then publishes to the service while only having 100k records loaded and continues on to demonstrate how to change the parameter to A in the browser/published version.
He then manually kicks off the refresh in the service and once complete, shows us that all 600k rows have now been imported into the model. Very cool and useful trick, especially when working with lots of data, especially Big Data!

Way back in episode 2326, I spent 8+ minutes showing how to use LET to get the second to last word from a cell. Today, it still requires TEXTBEFORE, TEXTAFTER, and TRIM but can be done in 45 seconds.
Why does the new TEXTSPLIT function in Excel return #N/A errors at the right side? When does a double space create a blank cell? Solve both problems using optional arguments for Ignore_empty and Pad_With.
You have a bunch of sentences in Excel.
How do you find the last word in each cell using a formula?
The new TEXTAFTER function solves the problem.
How to get the Unique list of items appearing in a rectangular range. This solution uses the new TOCOL function released on March 16, 2022 to Microsoft 365 Office Insiders.
