Power Query 365 version

Hi!

I am a new Mac user and I don't know if the version is  different from a Windows. So I am trying to locate the power query but I couldn't find it under Data. 

Also, would like to ask if there's anyone here who can give me ideas/suggestions about how to import multiple rpt or txt files into an excel? Its for work purposes and I needed to import raw files from year 2015 up to date into 1 excel file (that is why I am exploring the use of Power Query). These data contains customer details and I needed it when locating a specific data from various rpt/txt files into 1 excel if its possible?

 

Hoping someone who can help me with this.

It would mean a lot, thank you!

    Lyca_123 Microsoft recently added Power Query to the Mac version. You need the newest version of Microsoft 365 for it. All older version won't support it.

      Hi, thank you. I found it but I just recently discovered that I am using the 2021 version and not the 365

    Hi Lyca_123 

     

    yes, there is a big difference between Windows and Mac as far as Power Query is concerned: On Mac computers, Power Query was not available at all and Microsoft has rolled-out some PQ functionality to Mac computers just recently.

    Here you can find some additional information:

    Maybe this helps
