About this Item

It has plenty of illustrations and diagrams at each step so you can follow along even without being at your computer. The book starts with foundational concepts like working with lists, tables, and records, then covers advanced topics such as nested tables, iterations, custom functions, and common data cleaning patterns. Who Is This Book For? - You already know the "clicks" of Power Query, either in Excel or Power BI. - You already know how to create basic queries that can combine data, remove columns, filter, and unpivot rows. - You have come across a few data cleaning problems that make you wonder, "How am I going to do that?" Whether you're new to Power Query or already know the basics, this book will help you use this powerful data transformation tool more effectively. This item is printed on demand.
