Automated checking of M query syntaxes

Hey.

 

I have a lot of Mquery syntaxes I generated through a program. I need to find a way to check the syntaxes to find if they are right or not. 

Any microsoft API, any 3rd party tools, anything would do; but I just cannot paste each and every expression I have in the query editor of power bi.

 

Please let me know if there is anything available for this. 

 

Thanks a lot, 

Abhishek.

hi @Anonymous ,

 

Based on my research, I fail to found the 3-rd party tool similar as M formatter system. The best workround could be advanced editor in power query.

Please note there’s an option that you can leverage Intellisense within the Advanced Editor in the Power Query Editor dialog. This includes syntax coloring, line numbers, function completions and parameter metadata for M library functions. Probably helps when you write the syntax.
