Click Edit to load the Power Query editor. Edit the queries as needed, such as removing columns, remaining columns etc. but ensure you leave the ProjectId and TaskId columns in Projects and Tasks queries as these are required to join the Project Online data with the Roadmap data.

Click Close and Apply in the Power Query editor. Set up the relationships between the Projects table and RoadmapRowLinks and Tasks table and RoadmapItemLinks:
