Excel Power Query Integration

Excel Power Query Integration | Data Flow Tracking

‍Power Query is an add-in tool for Microsoft Excel, starting from the 2010 version. It helps you import, clean, and transform data in Excel in a convenient and usable format. It’s a powerful and easy business intelligence tool that can work with data from various sources - Excel, CSV, XML, SQL, TXT, JSON, web pages, OneDrive, Google Services, and many others.If you need to change the data’s structure, Power Query helps transform and customize it in a convenient visual editor using only menu buttons. You don’t need to know any programming language – the tool automatically generates the code in M, the product’s language. It takes the data from a specified source and merges it into single Excel tables.

Exploring All Your Marketing Data in Power Query Excel

  • Forget about coding. With Improvado, you don’t need IT specialists to set up a connector and work with Power Query - the code is generated automatically, leaving more time for more meaningful work.

This way, your data analysis isn’t dependent on or limited by the products you use Power Query with, whether it's Excel, Power BI, or any other software. You can store the output in other storage options and use it in other services and products.
