Excel Power Query has been a part of Excel since Excel 2016! It's in the Data tab under Get and Transform.
Unfortunately many people haven't explored what it has to offer!
They continue doing things the old "manual" way, Or the "complex" way with difficult formulas.
Power Query is like an Instant Miracle Cure to your difficult data analysis problems:
You can quickly combine and consolidate large data from different sources like Excel, text files, the web, online services, databases, even your Outlook! (Plus many more).
You can convert downloads from your ERP system into information you can use.
Replace complex Excel formulas with a click of a button.
Turn complex data transformations that took forever to do (such as unpivoting data), to just a few clicks.
And these are just a few examples of what it can do!
On top, your actions are recorded so whenever you get new data, all you have to do is click Refresh!
Guess what? You can apply ALLthe knowledge you learn in this course to Power BI as well!
