Excel Power Query

Overview

Power Query is a data connection technology that comes with Excel that enables you to discover, connect, combine, and refine data sources to meet your analysis needs. Features in Power Query are available in Excel and Power BI Desktop. With Power Query you can search for data sources, make connections, and then shape that data (for example remove a column, change a data type, or merge tables) in ways that meet your needs. Once you’ve shaped your data, you can share your findings or use your query to create reports. This class is designed to teach Power Query from the ground up and assumes you have not used Power Query in the past. Once we have covered the foundational topics of Power Query, then we will move on to the Power Query M language (code) that is used to create queries in Power Query.
