Hi, im new to Power BI/power query and currently looking into some things I could create with an API. Wanted to test navigation tables according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/handlingnavigationtables The M function Table.ToNavigationTable() is within my connector:
shared NavigationTable.Simple = () =>
let
objects = #table(
{"Name", "Key", "Data", "ItemKind", "ItemName", "IsLeaf"},{
{"Item1", "item1", #table({"Column1"}, {{"Item1"}}), "Table", "Table", true},
{"Item2", "item2", #table({"Column1"}, {{"Item2"}}), "Table", "Table", true},
{"Item3", "item3", FunctionCallThatReturnsATable(), "Table", "Table", true},
{"MyFunction", "myfunction", AnotherFunction.Contents(), "Function", "Function", true}
}),
NavTable = Table.ToNavigationTable(objects, {"Key"}, "Name", "Data", "ItemKind", "ItemName", "IsLeaf")
in
NavTable;
However Table.ToNavigationTable gives the error "The name Table.ToNavigationTable doesn't exist in the current context" as it was an undeclared variable. I was expecting this function to work as for an example: Table.ToList?
