Data preparation has become so easy and potent in Excel and Power BI. The user experience of the Query Editor of Power BI and Excel (Power Query Add-In, or Get & Transform in Excel 2016) is extremely rewarding. It transforms crucial yet repetitive tasks into an exciting and even fun activity. Just as important, it’s a process which produces an automated pipeline for your ever-changing reporting requirements. Thanks to Power Query, the modern data wrangler can become a self-service ETL power house. As you become a super data wrangler, it’s time to be aware of the most common mistakes you do in Power Query, and how to avoid them. (The session is based on the Pitfalls series here).
