Hi @Fusilier2 ,
Go to Advanced editor and paste this M code:
let
Source = DateTime.LocalNow(),
#"Converted to Table" = #table(1, {{Source}}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", type datetime}}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Column1", "Last Refreshed Date"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"
This will result in this table with a sinlge column:
Thank you very much. Works like a dream!
