Organize queries in the Power Query Editor

One of the aspects of a good development model in the software development world is to keep the code and objects organized, and Power BI development is not an exception. While this best practice is not directly relevant to data modeling, it is good to organize the queries from a maintenance perspective. Organizing queries is simple. Just follow these steps:

  1. Select multiple queries from the Queries pane.
