I am getting the same error message. It does not appear in the DAX Query View but does appear when I try to move the code into a New Table with the DAX below.
_Metadata_Columns =VAR _columns =SELECTCOLUMNS(INFO.COLUMNS(),"ColumnID", [ID],"TableID", [TableID],"ColumnName", [ExplicitName],"DataType", [ExplicitDataType],"DataCategory", [DataCategory],"ColumnDescription", [Description],"IsHidden", [IsHidden],"IsUnique", [IsUnique],"IsKey", [IsKey],"IsNullable", [IsNullable],"FormatString", [FormatString],"SortByColumnID", [SortByColumnID])VAR _tables =SELECTCOLUMNS(INFO.TABLES(),"TableID", [ID],"TableName", [Name])VAR _add_table_name =NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN(_columns, _tables)RETURN _add_table_name- Greg_Deckler

Also generates an error when trying to use it to create a table.
Hi Greg_Deckler ,
This is by design, it can only be used in the Dax query view, you cannot do with these functions is use them in calculated tables, calculated columns, and measures.You can refer to:DAX query view introduces new INFO DAX functions | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
Best regards,

Anonymous Then they shouldn't be available in the editor just like EVALUATE is not available in the editor.
is there a map for the [ExplicitDataType] column in INFO.COLUMNS()? Like 11 = boolean, 9 = date, etc...

thanks to @ZoeDouglas
Anonymous That seems like an arbitrary limitation. There are many reasons we would want access to that info.
Also why not include that detail in the error message? The reason for the error is clear but the error message to the user is incredibly cryptic.
Instead of: "An unexpected error occurred (file 'TMTransaction.cpp', line 420, function 'TMTransaction::GetSavePointForDiscovers')."
How about saying: "INFO functions are only available in Dax Query View".
This all seems fairly obvious...
