Power Query is Microsoft's built-in data connectivity and preparation engine inside Excel and Power BI. It lets you pull data from dozens of sources, clean it, and reshape it without writing complicated formulas. igmGuru's Power Query course walks you through the Query Editor, the M formula language, and real transformation workflows, so you leave able to turn raw, messy spreadsheets into analysis-ready tables for reports and dashboards.
You don't need a technical background to start this course, though the following will help you move faster:
Most business teams still lose hours every week copy-pasting, reformatting, and fixing spreadsheets by hand. Power Query removes that grind. It records every cleaning step you perform once and replays it automatically the next time new data arrives, which is why it has become one of the most in-demand skills inside Excel and Power BI job postings today.
With Microsoft actively expanding Power Query into Fabric dataflows and cloud-based data pipelines, the skill is no longer limited to spreadsheet users. Data analysts, finance teams, operations managers, and BI developers now rely on it to standardize how data moves from raw source to finished report.
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
This course takes you from your first query to advanced automation, covering:
This Power Query training is built for professionals who work with data every day, including:
You'll graduate from this course with practical, job-ready skills, including:
Power Query skills open doors across data-facing roles, such as:
igmGuru has trained working professionals across BI and data analytics tools for years, and this course is built on that same practical foundation:
There is currently no standalone Microsoft certification exam dedicated only to Power Query. Power Query skills are instead assessed as part of Microsoft's broader Power BI Data Analyst Associate certification (exam PL-300), where data connection, cleaning, and transformation form a core exam domain.
On completing this course and its hands-on exercises, igmGuru issues a Power Query Course Completion Certificate. This certificate validates your practical proficiency in importing, cleaning, and transforming data from multiple sources, merging and appending tables, applying advanced transformations, automating repetitive data tasks, and preparing datasets for Excel or Power BI reporting in real business scenarios. It also serves as strong preparation ground if you plan to attempt the Microsoft PL-300 exam afterward.
No. Power Query is the data connection and preparation engine that works inside both Excel and Power BI. Power BI is the broader analytics and visualization platform. You use Power Query to clean and shape data before it ever reaches a Power BI report or dashboard.
Power Query is built into Excel 2016 and later, as well as Microsoft 365. If you're on an older version, it's available as a free add-in for Excel 2010 and 2013. Your trainer will confirm setup steps before your batch begins.
You just need Excel installed on your system; Power Query is already built in. If your batch also covers Power Query in Power BI, you'll be guided to install the free Power BI Desktop application before class.
igmGuru keeps batches small, with up to 10 participants per session, so trainers can address individual doubts and give hands-on attention during live exercises.
Yes. All enrolled learners get 24x7 access to recorded sessions, so you can revisit any class or catch up on a missed one at your own pace.
This is a paid, instructor-led Power Query training course with live mentorship, hands-on labs, and certification support. If you'd like to explore Power Query basics first, igmGuru's blog and YouTube resources offer free introductory content before you commit to the full course.
Yes. Since data preparation with Power Query is a core domain of the PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst exam, the hands-on practice you get in this course builds a strong foundation for that certification, though dedicated PL-300 exam prep is recommended as a next step.
