Recommended way to add labelling on top of TSV data is to load it from the accompanying codelistscode lists. Power Query make this quite easy by allowing to combine several queries
First step is to define several queries to load the data and the necessary codelistscode lists
Then the data table must be combined with the FREQ dimension, the result of this combination must be combined with INDIC_IS dimension etc
To combine two queries, a new query must be created from Power Query Editor and select the column in each table to use to JOIN them. The Join Kind must be Left Outer to execute the lookup properly
...
When all labels columns are created they can be moved to be next to the code column
All these steps are summarized summarised in the following workbook and codeblockcode sample

Option 1 : Copy several queries between workbooks and share workbook filesStarting from a blank worksheet, it is possible to re-use existing queries from another workbook
Create a new worksheet Reveal the Queries & Connections Right-click under the queries pane and click Paste This will automatically load the last query into the current worksheet Option 2 : Export and share ODC filesWhen a query is completed, it is possible to select the final query to be exported as an ODC file as the one below
This file can be simply double-clicked on windows and should open in Excel directly. Otherwise it can be loaded as an existing connection
This menu automatically list connections present in the "My Data Sources" user folder C:\Users\user_id\Documents\My Data Sources Files in another location can be opened with the Browser Browse for more more button. |
