Custom columns in Power Query enable advanced data transformations through various built-in functions. The Index Column feature adds row numbers useful for creating unique identifiers. Column from Selection splits existing columns based on delimiters or specific positions. The Extract feature pulls out specific parts of text, dates, or numbers. For example, you can extract email domains, split addresses into components, or create date parts like month names from full dates. Duplicate Column creates a copy of existing columns, useful when you need to maintain the original data while creating transformed versions. The Statistics feature adds columns with running totals, running averages, or row differences, essential for financial and analytical reporting.

Advanced time intelligence calculations in DAX require careful consideration of filter context and date relationships. The CALCULATE function, combined with time intelligence functions, allows for sophisticated period comparisons. For example, to calculate the growth percentage between this year and last year, you might create a measure like: Growth % = DIVIDE(([Current Year Sales] - [Last Year Sales]), [Last Year Sales]). Rolling calculations, like 3-month moving averages, can be created using functions like DATESINPERIOD or DATEADD. These functions work in conjunction with your date dimension to provide dynamic date ranges based on the current filter context. Time intelligence functions also support custom calendar scenarios, such as 445 calendars or fiscal years that don't align with calendar years, through proper configuration of the date dimension and appropriate DAX formulas.

Data integration in Power BI offers two main methods: Append and Merge. When datasets are appended, additional rows are added to the attribute table. However, when datasets are merged or joined, additional columns are added. For example, appending is useful when combining monthly sales data where each month's data is in the same format - the months stack on top of each other adding more rows. Merging is useful when you want to add more information by bringing in columns from another table - like adding customer details (name, address, phone) to a sales table using a customer ID to match the records.
