How to organize data in Power BI Desktop?

The Power Query Editor is a Power BI Desktop component that allows you to edit data connected to the Power BI Desktop. You can combine different data types, organize, and prepare data for use with queries in the Power BI Query editor.

How do you shape data?

Power Query Editor follows the step-by-step instructions you provide as you shape the data, allowing it to load and present it as you have set it up. No changes are made to the original data source. One single data view has been modified or shaped.

The Power Query Editor records the actions you specify (such as renaming the column, changing the data type, or deleting the column).

The Power Query Editor carries out these actions each time this query establishes a connection to the data source to help shape the data as you always specify. That happens when you use the Power Query Editor or someone uses your shared query. These actions are listed in the Applied Steps section of the Query Settings window.

The Steps Applied list in Query Settings displays all data shaping steps. To remove a shaping step, click the X icon to its left.

We make our settings from the File tab to apply our modifications and close the Power Query screen once the edits are complete.
