Important: Data Catalog Deprecation Notice
Data Catalog capabilities in Excel and Power Query will stop working on March 4th, 2019. Users will be able to consume content already published to the Data Catalog until that date. However, starting on December 3rd, 2018, users will not be able to publish (share) new or updated queries into the Data Catalog. We recommend you download your shared queries so you can continue using them outside the Data Catalog beyond March 4th, 2019. You can download the full definition of your queries from the My Data Catalog Queries task pane, using the Open option for each of the queries.
