What is Microsoft Power Query?
Power Query is a data transformation and data preparation engine. Power Query comes with a graphical interface for getting data from sources and a Power Query Editor for applying transformations. Because the engine is available in many products and services, the destination where the data will be stored depends on where Power Query was used. Using Power Query, you can perform the extract, transform, and load (ETL) processing of data.

It also facilitates a user-friendly interface without requiring any coding skills, unlike its similar products, which demand high coding expertise. These features make them stand out in the market.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Its capability of a no-code interface combined with powerful transformation is the best thing in it. Its drag-and-drop interface assists a lot during the management of data sets like cleaning, transforming and creating a confirmed environment for those who don't have much expertise in it. Along with these, it also facilitates its us with advanced language features such as M language which helps in dealing with complex transformation.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I really like the way this tool is providing amazing services. It is a very powerful software and can handle data in a very efficient way, however, sometimes, when the amount of data is too high to handle and is taking a complex shape, it shows slow functioning and unresponsiveness. This somehow becomes a hurdle in the accomplishment of tasks and this needs to be considered. Other than this, it is complementing well with my activities.
