Power Query Split to Rows and Reference columns within Groups is a feature of Microsoft Power Query, which is a data transformation and mashup tool. This feature allows users to transform their data into a table format by splitting a single column into multiple rows based on the values within a group. In addition, users can also reference columns within the group to create additional columns. This feature is useful for transforming data sets into a more organized structure for further analysis.
