No transform button

Hi there, 

 

I am trying to learn how to use PowerQuery, when I upload data from a CSV file it loads it on to excel, but only gives me the option to load and not the option to transform the data. I am seriously confused about what to do about this.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Is this button greyed out on your end?

Alternatively, you can also transform the data by clicking onto Get Data > Launch Power Query Editor:

Hi, @Anonymous ;

The Transform option is in the Advance query editor you need to choose the Edit Queries and then you have the Transformation tab, the query editor is also acessible when you make the link to a new data source it allows you to edit the query (except for SSAS models)
