How Power Query Can Change Your Life
Make Your Excel Life Easier with this Power Query Training
Inside your Microsoft Excel window sits a magic button.
It’s not called “Power Query” – instead it’s called “Get Data” (in the Data tab).
Your data could be ANYWHERE. It could be sitting right there on the sheet you’re on. It could be in another Excel file, in a text file, on the web or in a PDF document.
The instant you click this button, a new world opens up, helping you to quickly complete tasks – whether it’s cleaning up mixed-up rows or messy columns, combining data with other files or anything else you need done.
Once you know your way a round – even just a little bit – you get to do things that only Excel gurus used to be able to do.
Now these advanced techniques are just a “click” away for you.
They can save you from pulling your hair out as you clean data.
You can replace hours and hours of manual labor.
And you can ship reports to your boss and colleagues faster – winning you praise and promotions.
The best part: Power Query remembers your steps!
Next time you need to do the same thing, you just open your file and click “Refresh” – then sit back and enjoy the show (i.e. watch the magic happen as your data updates automatically).
Let me give you more details – let’s visit a typical day in the life of an Excel user.
Start using Excel in the Power Mode. Just by finishing the FIRST hour, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve with Power Query. It will give you tons of ideas on how to make your work easier.
