Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
In Excel 2010, on the File tab click Options, click Advanced, scroll down to General and untick Ignore other applications...

Similarly for Excel 2007.

In earlier versions you will find this setting under Tools > Options.

in 2002, options is only available with a spreadsheet loaded!
ignore other applications is already unticked.
thanks
