[[https://www.wps-wp.com/|WPS]] Spreadsheet’s Power Query is a powerful tool designed to simplify and streamline the process of importing, transforming, and cleaning data from a wide variety of sources



Whether you are working with data from Excel files, CSV documents, databases, web pages, or cloud services



Its user-friendly design lets anyone carry out advanced data tasks without writing a single line of code



Start by launching WPS Spreadsheet and heading to the Data section in the top toolbar



Click the Get Data option to reveal a comprehensive list of supported import types



You can choose from options such as From Text CSV, From Excel, From Web, From Database, and more



Each selection guides you through a step-by-step process to connect to the desired data source



The system opens the Query Editor interface, giving you a live preview of the incoming dataset



This preview step is essential to detect formatting errors, column shifts, empty cells, or malformed entries



You can fix misaligned headers by selecting the correct row with one click, even if it’s not the first



Power Query automates data cleanup with remarkable efficiency



Eliminate irrelevant columns, break apart or combine text entries, convert data formats, apply filters, and substitute blanks or errors with placeholder values



All these actions are performed through a point-and-click interface, making them accessible even to users unfamiliar with advanced data manipulation techniques



Each transformation you apply is recorded as a step in the Applied Steps pane, allowing you to review, reorder, or delete any step at any time



A standout capability is Power Query’s dynamic data refresh functionality



Once loaded, simply click Refresh to pull updated data from the original file or server



Ideal for dynamic datasets like real-time inventory, financial trends, or hourly web metrics



By keeping your queries up to date, you eliminate the need for manual reentry or copy-pasting of data



You can consolidate datasets from various files, folders, or servers into a single cohesive table



For example, gather 12 monthly Excel files and combine them into one annual table in seconds



Link tables using primary keys like Account Number or Region Code to pull in extra details from external files



For large-scale imports, Power Query ensures every file follows the same cleaning rules, reducing inconsistencies



You can trust that every row follows the same rules, making your reports and charts more reliable



The query acts as a reusable template that can be applied to new datasets with minimal adjustments



To finalize your import, click Close and Load in the Query Editor



It executes every step you defined and places the processed data directly into your workbook as a structured table



You have the option to send the data to a fresh sheet or append it to a current one



You can immediately build pivot tables, apply conditional formatting, or use VLOOKUP and SUMIFS on the imported data



In summary, WPS Spreadsheet’s Power Query is an essential tool for anyone who regularly works with external data



It turns repetitive, manual data gathering into a seamless, one-click process



By leveraging its intuitive interface and robust transformation capabilities, users can save time, reduce mistakes, and focus more on analyzing data rather than preparing it



No matter your role — analyst, academic, or learner — learning Power Query will boost your efficiency and data fluency
