Reconcile Changes with Data Refresh

Hello,

 

Perhaps bad practice but i have made many changes to a dataset in power bi desktop using the Power Query Editor - Replace Values button. I have since discovered that a colleague has updated the source data and i now wish to reconcile the changes to ensure that i do not lose all my changes.

 

I am considering exporting the data and comparing it with the source in Excel - but i wonder if there isn't a better approach for this in Power BI?

 

Many thanks

  • All the changes done in edit query mode are recorded and can be reversed. You can check those on the right pane. Or create a copy of the table and revert the changes in original copy and use intersection and except to help you

      Can you expand on how i would use intersection and except to help me with the reconcile?
