Learning PowerQuery (M)

‎03-09-2017 08:19 AM

I want to learn Power Query (M) where best to start?

 

I already have coding experience VBA, VBScript, PHP/MySQL, Visual Basic, Python, currently learning DAX and now I want to learn about (M).

 

There maybe a lot available in Google but I want to know (if possible) from M Gurus here what they could suggest.

 

Thanks a lot!

Chris Webb (who you should bookmark) posted a blog a while back discussing some recent books -https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/category/books. I have a couple of them, including 'M' is for Data Monkey. You should also keep the language reference bookmarked - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt211003.aspx. 

 

Happy learning!

Also after you have the basics down, keep an eye out for any post on these forums by @ImkeF.

You're welcome 🙂

I used to have this link in my signature here in this forum, but unfortunately this feature has been deleted.

@Eric_Zhang: Any idea why that is? Can we get this back please 🙂
