Description
Power Query: your tool to automate lists!
You often have to re-edit the data you enter into PowerPivot: splitting up the text into different columns, converting text to upper case, adding extra columns with certain calculations, filling up blank cells and much more.
This means that you can’t use certain sources straight away, because you first need to delete unnecessary information. Or because that information has a different layout. With the aid of Power Query you can get round these problems without difficulty. You input the data, define what is to be done and then enter the optimised data, in Excel, or in the PowerPivot data model. And this without programming in VBA!
