Trouble with Text.PadStart

NotRick_0-1630590473093.png

When I try to use Text.PadStart to create a new coloum I get this error, stating that it is not a valid function.

Are you trying to use it as a DAX function?

 

Text.PadStart is an M function. You can use it in the query editor but not in a DAX expression.
