Data function Button for running User Defined Function (UDF) is not configurable
HI SamSantos,
You're not doing anything wrong — this is a known limitation and partial rollout issue with Power BI Desktop + Fabric Data Functions, This feature is NOT fully available in Power BI Desktop yet.
You can try enabling below options in power BI desktop
Power BI Desktop → Options → Preview
Data functions
Fabric Business Operations

Direct Lake (if needed)
if it doesn't work, you can edit the UDF in Power BI service and test.

Let’s keep building smarter solutions together!Hi grazitti_sapna, thanks for this detail! Yes, when i published the workbook to my workspace and editted the report online, the Data Funciton options were made available to me. I did not realize that this was currently an online only function.
I did select Import but it didn't seem to do anything. The Button options I get are completely different than the linked video, i.e. no "Workspace", "Function Set", nor "Data Function" drop downs, only the (fx) button. Per grazitti_sapna response, it may just be due a recent change / rollout?
