Power Query online surfaces in Power BI Desktop and soon Excel delivering diagram view, schema/script view, query plans and step-folding indicators; Excel adds nested data types and lets Python read connection-only queries and render a seaborn chart inside a cell; Fabric Dataflows Gen2 imports .pqt templates, supports file upload, co-pilot generates M (add steps, create queries, explain logic), loads to Lakehouse/Warehouse/SQL/ADX with append/replace/dynamic-schema options, staging uses a background Warehouse, and paginated reports can now use Power Query with parameter passing.
