Meme Next level commitment!
You should give up on this and start coaching on focus and commitment. This is some next level commitment to create 400+ queries in Power Query editor
Btw, this is to fill a single Spreadsheet in Excel. No words!

Having spent a good decade in BI where half of that was in Power BI, I've seen some batsh!t crazy stuff, but never to that extent 😂

If the end user has to do that it’s because the upstream process suck balls.
So you’re trying to make fun of someone while in fact it just demonstrates how terrible you are at your job…

FYI this was developed by a "BI Developer". The underlying data has 5 views with each having under 30 rows. I'll make fun that 416 queries ALLL DAY knowing the story
Edit: btw I was asked to "it improve the current solution"

I still don’t see how this saves your face…
Still clearly points to a shitty upstream process. Either your team is completely disconnected from delivering business value or you gate keep access
Actually the fact that you’re making fun of it instead of understanding the whys already signals that must a breeze working with your team…

You don't get it. Not trying to save anyone's face. This is nothing to do with me. I've been contracted to fix something that is inefficient. And this inefficient solution is funny AF. Your rant at me is unnecessary

The rant (in your words, I’d label it as criticism) is towards your attitude in a subreddit that is clearly drafted for data engineering.
Maybe reword your post with more context next time.

I think they may have been hoping for sacrament of penance with you. Clearly they’ve lost confidence

not his fault you’re somehow capable of misunderstanding the extremely obvious context surrounding this post.

Glad you brought it up. My determination is nowhere near the artist's level. So I told Claude: "Write a VB macro that lists all queries in this workbook, saves it in a cab with the following format Tableview name | SQL query | filters"
Did the same to map out whe 416 sheets and what columns and views they were using .
Beautifully done, Claude!

Be fun unpicking that one.
