Hello,
I try to start power query in excel and it crashes.
I have Microsoft 365 family, Windows 10.
i don’t understand why I’m able to use Legacy procedures but not the classic way, is there any option I should check?
I can’t find a solution.
Please check that if your excel is the latest version, and you can refer to the following link.
Excel crashes when opening power query window. File specific - Microsoft Community
Get data from Microsoft Query causes Excel to crash - Microsoft Community
Best Regards!

Already made the repair, both mode.
the video below just show how to use power query.
the problem is that I cannot open power query because it crash.
the only solution that I’ve found is to use the wizard legacy procedure but it’s strange since I’m paying for a 365 subscription with windows 10, I7 and 8GB ram
