Data comes from all kinds of sources and Microsoft Power Query can you when you need to combine foreign data. It’s a bit easier than trying to do so in Microsoft Excel sometimes.

What Is Power Query? When first introduced to Excel, Power Query was an add-in, but given its usefulness, it has been a native tool since 2016.

When you want to combine values in Microsoft Excel, instead of complex expressions or VBA, opt for Power Query – it’s fast and easy.

With Power Query in Excel 365, you can do just that. This powerful tool allows you to merge files from a folder into a single dataset, automatically updating as new files are added.
