Data is essential to the world of business, informing decisions and helping companies scale responsibly. But research shows that people spend up to 80 percent of their time on data preparation, limiting the amount of time in their day that can be dedicated to data analysis and decision making. If it takes so much time to prepare data, important decisions will be delayed or missed entirely.
That's where Microsoft's Power Query for Microsoft Excel and Power BI comes in handy. Power Query is one of the top data preparation tools. It acts as an ETL tool that can extract data from a wide variety of sources, transform it quickly, and load it directly into your tables and data models. That flexibility can vastly speed up your data analysis time.
