Power Query is a tool for retrieving data from various data sources, which enables the user to transform, purify, and merge data with ease. Power Query is used to load data into analytical tools, such as Power BI.

If your Microsoft Office version is 2016, Power Query is already a part of the standard setup, no additional steps are required.
For earlier versions of Office, Power Query must be installed separately. It is available for downloading on microsoft.com.
