Power Query Data Automation
Stop cleaning data by hand. Power Query automates the import, cleaning, and transformation of your data - so your reports are always accurate and up to date.
The Smarter Way to Handle Data
Power Query (built into Excel as Get & Transform Data) is Microsoft's most powerful data preparation tool - and most businesses barely use it. We build Power Query workflows that automate the tedious parts of data work: importing from multiple sources, cleaning inconsistencies, reshaping tables, and refreshing reports with a single click.
Unlike manual data prep, Power Query workflows are reusable, transparent, and easy to maintain. When next month's data arrives, you refresh and your report is ready - no copy-pasting, no formula dragging, no manual checking.
What Power Query Delivers
- Automated data import from CSV, database exports, and web sources
- Data cleaning and standardisation - remove duplicates, fix formats, handle missing values
- Transform and reshape data without complex formulas
- Merge and append multiple datasets into single unified tables
- Refresh live reports with one click - no manual rework
- Build reusable query templates for recurring tasks
Where Power Query Shines
Monthly Financial Consolidation
Pull data from Xero, MYOB, or bank exports, clean and standardise, then merge into a single reporting workbook - all in minutes instead of days.
Data Cleaning for Reporting
Strip duplicates, fix date formats, standardise text, and handle null values across thousands of rows before they reach your analysis or dashboards.
Multi-Source Data Merging
Combine sales data from your POS system, inventory from your warehouse system, and financials from your accounting software into one unified dataset.
Regulatory & Compliance Outputs
Transform raw operational data into the exact format required by regulators, auditors, or government reporting templates - repeatable and auditable.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Power BI to use Power Query?
No. Power Query is built into Excel (Get & Transform Data) for Windows and Mac. You get the same core engine that Power BI uses, directly inside Excel - no additional software or licenses required.
Can Power Query replace VBA macros?
For data transformation and loading tasks, yes - Power Query is often a better choice than VBA. It is purpose-built for data import and cleaning, requires no programming knowledge, and produces more maintainable workflows. For UI automation or application-level control, VBA remains the right tool.
How long does it take to set up a Power Query workflow?
Simple data cleaning and consolidation workflows can be built in 1-2 days. Complex workflows involving multiple data sources, custom transformations, and conditional logic typically take 3-7 days.
Will Power Query work with my accounting software?
Power Query connects to a wide range of data sources: Excel files, CSV, databases (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL), web APIs, SharePoint, and OData feeds. Many accounting platforms (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks) can export to CSV or connect via ODBC, which Power Query can consume directly.
