"I don't want to learn the M language"
i am baffled. power query / M is taking over the corporate world and its extremely, extremely useful. its one of the most useful things that nobody in open source world has tried to copy (that im aware of).
- jimmcslim 2y agoThe M language is incredibly tied to Power Query however. There are some open-source projects that seek to enable it M outside of Power Query, but they seem to rely on private APIs and are not cross-platform.
- mardifoufs 2y agoYes it's great for doing business apps. Not everyone uses excel to run business analysis though.
- dav43 2y agoI haven’t seen it being used anywhere in big corporates (+20k employees) at all. I attempted it once and stop as I found error checking impossible, source control impossible and ability to see code changes impossible - compared to a simple python script that is just text and can be source controlled. Interested in a different opinion as maybe I missed something.
