Power Query is no longer an add-in but is a native Excel feature from the Data tab, under the Get & Transform section. In Excel 2016 we integrated the Power Query technology and experience into Excel. Prior to the release of Excel 2016, Microsoft Power Query for Excel functioned as an Excel add-in that was downloaded and installed on Excel 20. Power Query technology enhances the self-service business analytics experience in Excel by simplifying data discovery, access and collaboration.

In Excel 2016 we have integrated Power Query technology into the Data ribbon under the Get & Transform section. Do you often import data into Excel? Do you ever need to shape your data before you analyze it and build your reports? We are excited to let you know that your get-data experience in Excel is about to change forever.
