This book provides a complete and thorough explanation of Microsoft Excel's Get and Transform feature set, showing you how to connect to a range of external databases and other data sources to find data and pull that data into your local spreadsheet for further analysis. Leading databases are covered, including Microsoft Azure data sources and web sources, and you will learn how to access those sources from your Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Getting data into Excel is a prerequisite for using Excel's analytics capabilities.
