You are in the right place if you have said yes to these two questions. This advanced Microsoft Excel course takes you through how Power Query, like Power Pivot and Power View, is part of the Power BI Suite. It begins by explaining the data manipulation techniques and the methods of fixing specific problems in the query table, such as changing the headers' names, filtering out null values, condensing three columns into one, removing a column, and saving the new file.
The next section of this Power BI training discusses the concept of M code and many Power Query features with their functionality, including Choose Column, Keep Rows, Remove Alternate Rows, Split Column, Merge Queries, Transform, Move, Format and others. Efficiency is crucial when working with large amounts of complex data and using some shorthand tips and codes included in the course instead of the usual tabs will allow you to speed up your work. Continuing with the efficiency theme, you will be taught how to quickly and easily know which functions to use without writing any code by using the Column from Example feature and the steps to give feedback to Microsoft about a range of topics.
