Microsoft Power Query in Power BI suite

I'm really excited today to be able to write about what I was working on for the past year. It is now officially announced as part of the "Power BI" suite - the Microsoft Power Query for Excel (Download). 

Microsoft Power Query is an Excel add-in that enhances the self-service Business Intelligence experience in Excel by simplifying data discovery and access. Power Query enables users to easily discover, combine, and refine data for better analysis in Excel. Power Query includes a public search feature that is currently intended for use in the United States only.

This project was previously known as "Data Explorer". The new name reflects the direction that we are taking, plus, it happens to match my initials - so from now own I get to be PQ(PQ).

Regards,

PQ(PQ)

  Arif, which feature are you looking for resources on? Which demo were you referring to? The power query starters guide is @ office.microsoft.com/.../start-page-HA104003813.aspx

  PQ, I refer to : social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../data-explorer-not-working-with-the-runas-command Two years later. Is this issue now resolved. I do not seem to that lucky. I still get the error. Am I doing something wrong? I installed the latest .Net and the the Power Query that I downloaded from the Microsoft website I am running it from the local machine on Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 on Windows 7 Professional. Any assistance will be appreciated
