Hello, I am new to Power Query so bare with me. I have a query in MS Access that pulls data from two different tables. I would like to use Power Query (using a dynamic parameter) to extract the data from Access into Excel where I can further manipulate it. Is this something Power Query is built for or am I trying to use it the wrong way? Would I be better off trying to write a VBA macro to accomplish the same thing? I would appreciate any guidance available on this project. The ultimate goal is to speed up and streamline an entire process for a co-worker. Thanks.

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
