Hi,

I have files that looks to others files for V/XLOOKUP or Data-validation.

When I open such file I get a warining message:

Warning-Message.jpg

I remember seeing a vidoe of Mynda saying that this can be avoided using PQ, which made me take the PQ course, but I can't think of which PQ method I should take for that.

 

Regards,

Ayal Telem.

Hi Ayal,

The lookup formulas are bringing data in from an external file. With Power Query you can use the Get Data > From File connector (lesson 2.02) to bring this data into your current file. Then you can use the Merge tools (lesson 3.05) to do the equivalent of a X/VLOOKUP.

Hi Mynda,

That's what I was looking for.

I can say with pretty high confidence: you're great : )
