  1. Hi there,

    I really like your third example above, “3. Dynamically Extract Filtered Data to Another Sheet in Excel Using Power Query”. However, I’m using Office 2019, and the option, ” Data >> Get Data >> From Other Sources >> From Microsoft Query.” doesn’t appear there. Has it moved and is it available somewhere else? Or is there a different way to do this within Power Query?

    • Hello Chris,
      Thank you for your comment.
      The option, “Data >> Get Data >> From Other Sources >> From Microsoft Query” should be available in Excel 2019 since Power Query is available in Excel 2019.
      However, since you are unable to find the option, I would suggest you to install a new version of Excel. I hope your problem will be solved now.

      Best,
      Afia Aziz Kona
