I'm not a fan of having more than one Change Type step in my queries. I set them at the start and add it within each step moving forward.

Example. For any new Text Columns I create, I will add in the "type text" at the end, as in the following M Code.
Power Query:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "Category WIP", each if [Category] = "Restoration" then "Construction WIP" else [Category] & " WIP", type text)

Question:
I would like Unbilled WIP by SOW Type to remain as Currency.Type after they are broken into the different Category WIP Columns. Where would I put that in this M Code?
Power Query:
= Table.Pivot(#"Grouped Rows", List.Distinct(#"Grouped Rows"[#"Category WIP"]), "Category WIP", "Unbilled WIP by Sow Type", List.Sum)

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
