This tool has a user-friendly interface that enables the Excel user to connect to data sets they previously did not have access to. It also enables powerful data transformations without requiring any coding and will save the Excel user time in performing their cleanup of data. This course is the tenth in a twelve-part series, Power Query: Beginning Data Analytics for the Excel User.
