Overview:

Professionals who regularly work with data frequently encounter familiar limitations in Microsoft Excel, including restrictive size constraints and the tedious process of manually consolidating information from multiple origins.

Microsoft provides two integrated solutions—Power Query and Power Pivot—that effectively resolve these challenges directly within the Excel environment. These tools require no database expertise or IT department assistance. With capacity for importing millions of data records from virtually any source and the capability to save data transformation processes, you can fundamentally transform your reporting and analytical workflows.

Power Query and Power Pivot function as complementary technologies. Power Query specializes in data discovery, connection, and import processes, while Power Pivot excels at creating sophisticated data models from your imported information.
