When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

Hello,
It's super easy.
Start your Power BI Desktop then follow these steps: Get Data -> Database ->SQL Server Database click Ok. Once SQL Server windows opens up enter server name and database name (Optional).
