When you’re compare period data like sales from one month to another, quite often you’ll want to know the difference between the months. In a standard Excel worksheet, this is super easy to do. When you get to a pivot table, also super easy but maybe not quite as intuitive...though it can still be done super easy. The same for Power Query, easy to do but not intuitive. Thanks for coming to this video because I’ll show you these three ways to do subtract value from a previous cell.

Fuzzy Match Lookup in Power Query
If you’re familiar with doing a lookup in Power Query, it’s basically using the Merge feature. Inside this merge feature is a almost hidden option of using something called Fuzzy match.
If you’re used to doing lookups in Excel with VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH, you know that it does an exact match with the looked up text or value. What Fuzzy match does for your is to try to “guess” your looked up value and bring back your intended results. It’s neat that it would guess this and in some case with the help it can look up MSFT and bring back data associated with Microsoft (all spelled out).
