The One with Chandeep Chhabra
I'm a big fan of Chandeep's YouTube videos, his Power Query content is thoughtful and well explained. I often discover he's covered topics 12 months before I do which is annoying! :) I really enjoyed our wide-ranging chat.

The One with Imke Feldmann
YouTube version: https://youtu.be/6GL4U4pkWeI Imke looks at M code like Neo sees the "M"atrix. She is one of those folks that just amazes me as to what is possible inside Power Query and the M language. Imke has made a huge contribution already to the various tech community forums and continues to do so by now developing some amazing tools to make all our Power BI development lives easier. https://www.thebiccountant.com/about/ Imke's favourite tool: Power BI Cleaner Gen2 now covers Analysis Services Models as well (thebiccountant.com) Most popular article: Easy Profit and Loss and account scheme reports DAX PowerBI Pivot (thebiccountant.com) Advanced algorithms: Goal seek algorithm: Non-linear Break-Even Analysis in PowerBI – The BIccountant Matrix Inversion (MINVERSE Excel-function): Returns the inverse matrix for a matrix stored in an array.

The One with Reza Rad
The Power Query Magic YouTube version is available here... https://youtu.be/OKKAwlUIUW4 Reza Rad is a flamenco guitar playing Power BI community "stalwart". Look up the definition of the word "stalwart" and you'll find something like this "a dedicated, reliable, and hard-working supporter of an organization or team" . This is Reza, he contributes to the Power BI community in so many ways I question when he has time to sleep! Reza was one of the first to blog about the early versions of Power BI, we touch on SSIS and discuss what a "Microsoft Regional Director" role involves - it's not what you'd think.

The One with Mynda Treacy
"I can't think of anyone that uses Excel that wouldn't benefit from using Power Query" - Mynda Treacy How do you go from art studies in a beachside suburb school, to accountant at two London investment banks to a YouTube following of 326,000!?Mynda and I cover lots of ground in this conversation. We have had similar journeys working overseas, working for banks, becoming accountants, getting hooked on Excel. Mynda has a huge following on YouTube and her online training business MyOnlineTrainingHub I ask the longest and probably oddest "Mpossible" question regarding the treatment of 01/01/1900 date. We both learn a Power Query feature thanks to Miguel Escobar.Links: Power Query Automates Boring Tasks: https://youtu.be/L4BuUzccLpo Interactive Excel Dashboards with Power Query and Power Pivot: https://youtu.be/TK0CJBaqvnY
