WHAT IS POWER QUERY?

Power Query is a data pre-processing engine built into Excel and Power BI. You can use it to bring data from anywhere and do pre-processing or clean-up activities with ease. It lets you automate common data tasks like removing duplicates, combining files, merging (joining) datasets, adding derived columns, splitting or extracting data and changing the shape / size of your data.

HOW TO GET POWER QUERY?

It is already there in Excel and Power BI.
In Excel - Go to DATA Ribbon and use the "Get & Transform Data" options.
In Power BI - use the "Get data" or "Transform" buttons.

IS POWER QUERY BETTER THAN SQL?

Power Query and SQL have largely similar capabilities. But Power Query gives you more freedom and options. Plus, it is easier to learn (in my opinion).
