Excel has two new functions that make importing data from CSV and Text files super easy and most importantly, completely transparent.

Don’t get me wrong, Power Query is still my favourite tool for gathering and cleaning data, but CSV and Text Files are typically already clean, so Power Query can feel like overkill.

Plus, if anything goes wrong down the track, the Power Query settings are all encoded in the query editor, which can be daunting to try and troubleshoot.

Whereas with these new functions, the encoding and structure are explicit, visible and easy to control.
