Is there a downloadable book by Microsoft that explains Power Query?

I am exploring options to better manage data for my company. I am looking for ways to effortlessly pull data into excel, possibly from SQL. I am good with VBA/excel, but I barely know anything about SQL or Power Query. Is there a book that explains--in terms
a third grade idiot could understand--what Power Query is, what is can do, and when you would use it? Sorry for being such noob.
Thanks!

Is there a download for lightroom2.7 that will allow it to use camera raw for a Canon T3i raw files?

Thank you for the imput. I don't know what you mean when you say LR doesn't use Adoble Camera Raw. My LR2.7 is able to process raw files from my 20D. I don't care if it does it with ACR or some other processing software. The issue is whether whatever software is used by LR can be updated to deal with new camera raw files. It is pretty annoying if it cannot be. I would even pay a reasonable amount if that were necessary.
ACR is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements which enables users to work on raw images from supported cameras. All of that technology that is in that plug-in is part of the Lightroom program, the plug-in is not used by Lightroom. ACR must be updated approximately 4 times each year in order to add support for new cameras and to make other changes in the plug-in. In order to get those changes in Lightroom, it is necessary to upgrade the entire Lightroom program. Interim releases are made available to Lightroom users who have purchased the program. For instance, if you purchased Lightroom 2, then versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc. are all available to you at no cost. But when Lightroom 3.0 is released or 4.0 is released, then it is necessary for you to purchase an upgrade in order to continue to get the updates.

I'm not able to download books on iBooks that have Secure PDF on them. Anyone know how to fix that.

Can anyone help me with how to download books to iBooks that are labeled Secure PDF please.

A program I have been using is GoodReader from the app store...not free but reasonable prIce. Reads all PDF files, even ones that are supposed to be secure. Check it out and see if it meets your needs, before buying of course.

My iBook app won't let me download books, it says that they are already downloaded but to also go to purchases, could someone help please?

I have recently got an iPad two and I love it, one problem however is that when I try to download books they don't appear on the bookshelf. When I go to purchases to download them, a message pops up that says I have already purchased this item, please go to purchases and select Download! If anyone could help that would be amazing! Many thanks!

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Are you doing this?
You have to sign in and download each iTunes account individually.

Is there a section in delivered docs that explains each EBS Oracle schema?

Hi folks,
The security group in the organization I work for is not used to COTS packages such as EBS, and is always asking why the database needs so many Oracle accounts. At the very least, I need to explain what each one is for, and it's going to be extremely time consuming.
So my question is, is there anywhere in the delivered EBS documentation that explains what each schema is for specifically? I've looked quite a bit, and can't find anything specific as far as a break down schema by schema. I'm not looking for a data model, simply an explanation for each one.
By the way, this is a 12.1.1 installation.
Thanks very much,

Blank Record Appearing in Power Pivot, How do I ensure that my Power Query script is filtering out all the Blank Records

Hi,
I noticed once of my Fact tables in my Power Pivot model contains a blank record. I can't understand why.
So I added a Filter expression to the underlying Power Query query, something like; -
Text.Length("MyField") > 0
However after refreshing the Power Query query which contains the above expression the blank record still appears within my Power Pivot table.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

hi..
As my understand, the blank record in Power Query will be return null value . So that, You try to use Text.Length("MyField" ) <> null.

I deleted my Iphoto and need to get it back! I bought this mac book off my sister and have none of the install disks. If there a download or something that I can get to reinstall it?

Depending on the age of your machine and the version of iPhoto, you may be able to download it from the App Store - but you'll need her account details to do so.
Other than that you'll need to purchase it on the App Store.

In Iowa, uploaded a library app called wilbor for downloading books from library onto iPad. Is there an app that goes with this so you can use regular functions of iPad i.e taking notes, highlighting words to find definitions, etc?

In Iowa, you can upload an app called Wilbur from your library so you can download books from the library. Is there another app that is needed to go with "Wilbur" because you cannot use the regular functions of an iPad such as taken notes, highlight a word for a definition, etc.

Are you actually talking about the app called Overdrive Media Console? In any case, if it doesn't have the features you want, you need to ask the author to add them.

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over. Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy. Thanks.

Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

Try download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

Cancel your storage upgrade
If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
Note: Partial refunds are available where required by law.

Since I purchased about $70 worth of movies and books and they won't load onto my iPad, do you think iTunes will refund my money?
If you make more room on your Device perhaps you can View/ use the purchases...
However if you would prefer a Refund... you can always ask... be sure to explain your situation...
