    MCD881000 Mac! That explains it. Power Query is NOT available on the Mac how you would want it to be. What you see under the Get Data (Power Query) button is a first step towards what some day might happen. On a Mac you can NOT create or edit existing queries like on a PC. Consider setting up a virtual PC with Excel for Windows on your Mac (via Bootcamp or Parallels). That's what I do. It opens up the full Excel spectrum to you.

      Thank you Riny_van_Eekelen. That was my fear. I use Parallels. That is what I will have to do.
