You can modify a formula other than those associated with a builder, or you can alter an existing formula.
With the Steps pane, you can add, edit, reorder, or delete query steps to change how your data is transformed.
Refresh a query to import the latest data into a table without having to create the query again.
Filter, sort, and group data
Filter a table to reduce the size of your query results by excluding rows or columns based on size, value or condition.
Sort table rows in your query results based on criteria, such as the alphabetical or numerical value of one or multiple columns, and by ascending or descending order.
Group the values in a number of rows into a single value by grouping the rows based upon the values in one or more columns. For more information about how to group rows, see the Combine data from multiple data sources tutorial.
Shape data in a query

Remove rows from a query with data errors.
Privacy levels specify an isolation level that defines the degree that one data source is isolated from other data sources.
Working with columns

Insert an Index or Custom (you define the formula) column to your current query.
Aggregate data from any column containing an associated table to reveal the results of a group operation including Sum, Count, Average, Min, and Max.

Combine data from related queries
With Power Query, you can seamlessly combine multiple queries, by merging or appending them. The Merge and Append operations are performed on any query with a tabular shape, independent of the data source that the data comes from.
The Merge operation creates a new query from two existing queries.
The Append operation creates a new query that contains all rows from a first query followed by all rows from a second query.
Drill down into a related table
In Power Query, a column containing a link to a related table has an Entry link or Table link. An Entry link navigates to a single related record. A Table link navigates to a related table.
Expand a column containing a related table
Expand a column containing an associated table to reveal the related data. You can extract all column values or specific column values within the related table.
