Even though you have changed the better "Power Query" name to the worse "Get & Transform", the Power name is reintroduced into Excel.

 

As I remember it, this happened recently or I may be wrong. It should be more consistently.

 

I (and a lot of other people) preferred the Power Query -> Power Pivot > - Power View -> Power Map instead of G&T -> Power Pivot - Power View - 3D Map.

 

I hope this may be an indication of getting back to PQ—otherwise it should be removed.

 

I think this is valid for both the English and Danish versions.

Hi @Jørgen Koch, so after investigating this we discovered we do not own translating these strings. I have passed the information on to @Evelyn Kim who does. I am hoping she will come back on here to comment. Regards, Stafford

I think it is the same in the US/UK versions

Easy fix: Remove Get & Transform and just call it Power Query ;)

HI @Jørgen Koch so Evelyn got back to me on this. It seems the Dev team have made a conscious decided to go back to "Power Query". Hopefully that helps you! Staff

Will they also rename 3D Maps back to Power Maps—I hope ;)

Hi @Jørgen Koch we are not so sure about that one. I think it is probably best asked in the Excel community. We use English as our source. Have a great weekend! Staff
