Step mapping

Custom mapping is stored in your browser.

Reset mapping to default?

Your custom step mapping will be discarded, restoring the built-in default. This cannot be undone.

What does this do?

Power Query creates automatic steps names, which often require escape sequences, like #"Changed Type" or #"Filtered Rows 1". This clutters the code, making each step harder to scan and reference.

PQM Stepper instantly transforms default steps to short, consistent identifiers.

Okay, so Power Query is the data-cleaning bit of Excel and Power BI. Every button you click adds a step to the query. But the step names contain hash, quotes, spaces, the works. We shorten and clean them up, that's all.

Big button make steps. Step name very long. Name complicated. Brain hurt. We give, you fix. Put in big box. Comes nice below. Short name good. Magic? No. Tool.

I don't get it
