Review the applied steps
Applies To
Excel for Microsoft 365Before finishing, let’s walk through each query step of the Product Sales query and make any adjustments. Because you finished the last step on the new query that merged the Product and Category tables, expand the Queries pane and select the Product Sales table. This is the step in the Product Sales table in which you added the Bonus column.
This is just a sample of what you can do, but it's always a good idea to go through your applied steps before you distribute your workbook. You might find that certain steps can be managed better, once you get an entire transformation set up. It's also better to catch an issue up front than to have someone point it out later.
