Import a dataset into Power Query

  1. Launch Microsoft Excel.

  2. Locate and click the Power Query tab.

  3. On the Power Query ribbon, locate and click From Other Sources.

  4. On the context menu, locate and click From Azure Marketplace.
    If you are not signed in to Marketplace, sign in when prompted.

  5. All your Marketplace subscriptions are listed on the left side of the screen. Click the subscription from which you want to import data.
