You have all that functionality in Power Query at the press of a menu command! Now your life has just become a lot…well, a hell of a lot easier 🙂Īpart from cleaning data, Power Query can append or merge two separate tables together (bye-bye VLOOKUP!) as well as create extra columns in your data that can display your custom calculations! So no more formulas, text to columns, trim spaces, vlookup, find & replace, etc. The best thing is that the next time you receive the same ugly file, all you need to do is press the Refresh button and your data will automatically be cleaned up and displayed the correct way! Well, Power Query accesses, cleans, and transforms all that messy data and displays it in a way that Excel loves and can work with.

Well you know when you get data from a file, a data dump/import, or an external data source and it comes into Excel in an ugly, unworkable format? I can hear you say YEEEES!
