Support for custom Power Query Functions in Dataflows
We really need support for custom functions in Dataflows. This is a huge limitation to dataflows today.

- olivier10New MemberIt's unintuitive, but you can already create an M function in Dataflows. Start from a blank query, paste your code, and make sure to uncheck Load (right click on the function in the left pane).

- fbcideas_migusrNew MemberBy far the most common Function pattern is one generated by building a query on a folder of files. This generates a web of dependent objects including an automatically coded function. It doesnt seem possible to move this to Dataflows, which is really disappointing.
- chrisbilsoeNew MemberNot sure if this fits in here, but I am using some custom functions in Data Flows in order to loop over sheets in Excel. My problem is that the first time I setup the DataFlow the function is "tied" to a query (so that changes in the query is updated in the function. However when I save and open the Data Flow again, this "binding" is lost. So it works, but not really :(

Custom functions are supported in Power Query Online.

It would be nice to be able to publish our custom functions, and then call on them from queries within other dataflows.
