#shared M function

I'm doing a tutorial in the Microsoft PowerBI quick start guide by Packt. On page 48, it gives a tutorial on the #shared function in the M library. The book tells me that typing #shared in the formula bar on a blank query should return a list of all available M functions. The only problem? It doesn't. Instead it returned this:

Then when I right-clicked the word #shared and clicked on "To List" it gave me this:

The book has a long list of functions it should supposedly be showing me. What do I do?

@Anonymous - you need to include the '=' so you would enter '=#shared'

Thanks. I had a feeling it was some ridiculously easy fix, but I could not for the life of me figure out what.
