Mobile (learn on-the-go)
When we first integrated the Power Query technology in Excel for Windows, we got a lot of feedback that people love it! But we also heard from our Mac Office Insiders community that you want Power Query to be supported in Excel for Mac, as well. 2015-10-24 Excel一直很强大，而且越来越强大了。Excel2016版本中，默认增加了 Power Query 功能，此功能原来需要以插件形式单独下载，然后安装到Excel2010或Excel2013版本中才能用。. Even though worldwide mac user adoption is 8% (close to 94 million users) - there are a lot of data scientist and data analyst who use excel on mac and hardly anyone knows about Power BI! I think the best way to introduce them to this amazing world is via enabling Power Query in excel for them and most of influence million dollar analytics tools budget on a regular basis which would help.

What is Power Query and What Does it Do?
Looking at what Power Query does, and why this technology will change your life and the way you look at data.
Acquiring and Updating Power Query
In this lesson we will look at how to acquire the Power Query software, and give you important information about the update cycle.
Overview of the BI Process
A review of the process used to develop and update modern business intelligence solutions in Excel.
Getting Basic Data
An introduction into using Power Query technology to get data for an Excel business intelligence solution.
Creating PivotTables
The whole reason we get data in the first place is to turn it into information. And the best tool to quickly turn data into information? Excel's PivotTable!The Value is in the Refresh
While there is certainly value in the initial analysis, the real value in any BI solution comes from the refresh. When your boss comes to you and asks you to update the solution it took you hours to build and gives you a deadline of 10 minutes, you need to be able to say 'Yes, I've got this.'
Understanding Dates and Locale
One of the things we need to understand is how Excel interprets dates, and how we can override the defaults by setting the data's Locale.
Getting Data from Text Files
Importing data from a text file into an Excel table.
Getting Data from Excel Tables
Data often lives inside Excel tables. But even if it doesn't, Power Query will create one for you.
Getting Data from Excel Ranges
Sometimes you don't want to add a table style to your document. In this lesson we'll look at how to import data from an Excel range.
Getting Data from External Excel Files
Sometimes you want to build a solution that pulls its data from a different Excel workbook. In this lesson we will show you how.
Getting Data from Databases
One of the most important data sources to pull from is a database, but they have their own interesting nuances as well. In this lesson we will take a look at those.
Appending Tables (Joining Tables by Stacking Them Vertically)
Appending Tables Manually
Appending tables is the process of stacking them vertically to create long tables that can be used to feed business intelligence solutions and PivotTables.
Append All Files in a Folder - Theory
Power Query adds the ability to reach into a folder and append all files in the folder based on the transformations of a single file. Before you can leverage it, however, you need to learn the background, and that's what this lesson is all about.
Append All Files in a Folder - Preparation
Before you unleash this magic skill, there is a bit of prep-work that should be done to future-proof your solution and make it more portable. In this lesson we will explore how to do this.
Append All Files in a Folder - Application
This lesson will teach you how to unleash the magic of appending all files in a folder, and show you how effective it is.
You can create as many lists as needed, and assign them all a color for easy recognition. And it just recently became available on the Mac.With Microsoft To-Do, managing your tasks has never been easier.
Append Objects Within the Current Excel Workbook
Wouldn't it be nice if you could append all Tables in the current Excel workbook without having to do each manually? You absolutely can - and this lesson shows how to avoid causing massive errors in the process.
Append Objects in an External Excel Workbook
This lesson explores connecting to an external workbook to append all tables, worksheets and/or ranges within it.
Merging Tables (Joining Tables Horizontally by Matching Data)
7 Ways to Merge Your Data
In this lesson we will explore seven different ways to find matching records, all without using a single VLOOKUP!
Basic (Left Outer) Joins
The lesson demonstrates how to use Power Query to replicate VLOOKUP's exact match functionality (without writing any VLOOKUPs!)
Outer and Inner Joins
Since there are so many joins, it really pays to explore them all. In this lesson we will look at the Left Outer, Right Outer, Full Outer and Inner joins, as well as show a trick for joining on composite keys.
Anti Joins
Some of the most powerful joins for those trying to perform reconciliations are those that identify the items that do NOT match. In this case we will explore how the Left Anti, Right Anti and Full Anti joins can be used to accomplish this.
Basic Conditional Logic
No data manipulation tool would be complete without the ability to use conditional logic. In this lesson we will explore the benefits of Power Query's user interface driven 'Conditional Column' tool.
Writing Your Own Conditional Formulae
Unfortunately, not every conditional logic scenario can be created using the 'Conditional Column' tool. In this lesson you'll learn about the shortcomings of this tool and how to work around them by using the 'Add Custom Column' button.
Solving Logic Problems Using Errors
This lesson shows how we can use errors to our benefit to solve conditional logic problems.
Create Columns from Examples
Sometimes trying to extract data from a column can be difficult, so why not let Power Query help? Microsoft has put significant effort into a tool called 'Columns From Examples' where you can define and refine the output, and let Power Query build the formula to get the results.
Unpivoting Data
If you work with PivotTables a lot, you know that they put information out the way users want to read it, but you can't use it to drive another PivotTable. So what if there was an easy way to unpivot the data? There is, and it's called Power Query!
Power Query For Excel 2013
Unpivoting Subcategorized Data
The challenge with the Unpivot functionality is that you can only unpivot based on a single header row. So what if you have multiple rows of subheaders? In this lesson we will show you how to circumvent that issue.
Pivoting Data
While we can use PivotTables to pivot data, occasionally we need to pivot our data in the data preparation phase. This lesson exposes how the Pivot functionality works in Power Query.
Pivoting Stacked Data
This lesson exposes a very important pattern for wrangling data. Once you can get it into a single column, hit it with this recipe and it will land nicely into a table.
Grouping Data
When building models, many users pull in data that is far too granular, resulting a many more records than they need. Power Query offers a tool to group that data for you, so that you aren't wasting storage space on unnecessary records.
Grouping Queries
This lesson shows how to create query groups so that you can keep your queries organized. Super useful for creating a self-documenting query chain.
Viewing Query Dependencies
If you ever need to audit your models, you'll find this tool can be helpful. It shows how the queries link together and flow from one to the other.
In Excel 2016, Power Query isn’t an add-in — it’s a native feature of Excel, just like charts and pivot tables are native features. If you’re working with Excel 2016, you don’t have to install any additional components. You’ll find Power Query in Excel 2016 hidden on the Data tab, in the Get & Transform group.
If you’re working with Excel 2010 or Excel 2013, you need to explicitly download and install the Power Query add-in. As of this writing, the Power Query add-in is available to you only if you have one of these editions of Office or Excel:
- Office 2010 Professional Plus: Available for purchase through any retailer
