Data Discovery
Powerful self-service BI with Excel 2013
Why Power Query? Enable self-service data discovery, query, transformation and mashup experiences Discovery and connectivity to a wide range of data sources, spanning volume as well as variety of data. Highly interactive and intuitive experience for rapidly and iteratively building queries over any data source, any size. Consistency of experience, and parity of query capabilities over all data sources. Joins across different data sources; ability to create custom views over data that can then be shared with team/department.
Data Shaping and Manipulation Configure Data Types Rename and remove columns Insert Custom Columns Split Columns (i.e. convert delimited text to columns) Sort, Group, merge columns Un-pivot Columns Filter Data Replace Value Keep top N rows or specific range of rows Remove Duplicates Search data, many sources, many transformations, Extensible by code (M language) Share to Power BI by data catalog
