Power Query in 20 Minutes - How it Works

Power Query is showing up in more and more technologies, such as Power BI and Fabric. While it's is easy to work with and get started, but that doesn't mean it's clear what it's doing.

By the end of this session, I'll have a better understanding of what's happen when you use Power Query and won't be dependent on the GUI.
