In order to keep your work both organized and optimized for future changes, you decide to create a new group in Power Query that will contain the tables for the Power BI dataset. You take note that when working with extremely large data volumes or a complex data model, avoiding complexity within Power Query is often a best practice. However, with your data volumes, complexity, and overall use case, it makes sense to have separate groups for different segments of the project:

  1. Create a new group within Queries called Curated Dataset Tables.
  2. Right-click each of the...
