1.What are data models and it
functions in excel

Firstly a data modeling is an abstract modeling

that organizes elements of data

Data Models allow you to integrate data from

multiple tables, effectively building a
relational data source inside an E workbook.
Within Excel, Data Models are used
transparently, providing tabular data used in
PivotTables and PivotCharts.

A Data Model is visualized as a collection of

tables in a Field List, and most of the time,
you’ll never even know it's there.

1.In Excel 2016, and Excel for Microsoft 365,

use Data > Get & Transform Data > Get
Data to import data from any number of
external data sources, such as a text file, Excel
workbook, website, Microsoft Access, SQL
Server, or another relational database that
contains multiple related tables.
2.In Excel 2013 and 2010, go to Power
Query > Get External Data, and select your
data source.
3.Excel prompts you to select a table. If you
want to get multiple tables from the same data
source, check the Enable selection of multiple
tables option. When you select multiple tables,
Excel automatically creates a Data Model for
you.
2.
When importing data using a SQL database,
you can optionally choose to write a native
query instead of selecting object by object.
Explain this statement and provide an
example
