Power Query is an ETL Software in Power BI.


Power Query can extract the data from any kind of Data Source. Transform the data as per the reporting
needs And Loads data into power Pivot.

How ETL activities will be performed in power query? How data will be processed in power Query?

 When we bring any table from any source to power query, we will get table first 1000 rows.
 when we do transformations in power query it will perform on first 1000 rows initially.
 when will click on Close & Apply it will perform transformation on complete data.

Data Types:
----------------

Data Type represents types of data stored in the columns.

Number: Number Datatypes allows only Numeric information.


Text: Text datatype can allow all text, Number, Special Characters & combination of text, number,
Special characters.
Date: Date datatypes can allow only date information.

How to change Manually data type change Single column -- On Column Header Can Change
How to change Manually Data Types All Columns single go -- Detect Data Type

Filters:
--------
Filters are used to show subset of data from complete data.
When my data source contains complete data and if I need to Load subset data into power pivot I need to
use filters in power query.
Using Filters in Power Query It saves space in Power Pivot & Improves the visual performance.

In power query we can filter the data in 2 ways.


1. Basic Filter
2. Advanced Filter

Based on datatype of the column the advanced filtering options will change.
Sometime to achive the requirement we need to filter the data on number columns (OR) text columns
(OR) Date column.

> Text Filter in power query is case Sensitive.

Q) Load the employees where Dept no =10 OR job=salesman
