Power Query for People Who Hate Formulas - Clean, Combine, and Refresh Data in Excel Without VBA #1010775

Every workbook that survives longer than a year accumulates formulas nobody can explain. Power Query replaces that layer with a recorded sequence of named steps you can read, fix, and refresh. This book is the practical guide to building those pipelines, from a single messy CSV to a folder of five hundred files.

Through seventeen project-based chapters you connect to files, folders, and the web; clean and reshape without writing a formula; merge and append the way data actually joins; unpivot wide reports into tidy tables; group, aggregate, and parameterise; and finally automate a weekly report so it runs Monday morning without you.

Written for anyone who has spent a weekend debugging a VLOOKUP and decided there has to be a better way.
