Hey @toplisek ,

If the "Column Tools" tab is not visible in Power BI's data pane, you can try the following steps to enable it:

1. Ensure You're in the Right View:

   • First, make sure you are in the Data view and not in the Report or Model view. Column Tools are available only in the Data view.

2. Select a Column:

   • Click on a column in the Fields pane in the Data view. If no column is selected, the "Column Tools" tab will not appear.

3. Check if the Tab Is Hidden:

   • The Column Tools tab might be hidden in the ribbon. If you're using a customized ribbon, ensure that the "Column Tools" is not accidentally hidden. You can reset the ribbon by going to File > Options and settings > Options > Customize Ribbon and ensure "Column Tools" is selected.

4. Update Power BI Desktop:

   • If you're using an older version of Power BI Desktop, updating to the latest version might resolve the issue.

5. Check for Permissions:

   • If you are working within a workspace or shared report, ensure you have the necessary permissions to modify the data model.
