Do you work with Big Data? Do you import and manipulate large datasets in Excel? If so you will already be familiar with the limitations of Excel. Power Query, (known as Get and Transform in Excel 2016) is designed to get you past these limitations, allowing you to import and work with 1-million-plus-row datasets from virtually any source.
