I am trying to create a date table in Power Query. I create this by opening a blank query then use DateTime.LocalNow( ) and normally, there is an option to convert to table but it is not showing up for me now. Is it missing?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @cchen75
This is a Power Query issue I've noticed lately, you can convert it to a list by doing so in your M code. then right-click and convert to a table.
= {DateTime.LocalNow()}
If you find this helpful, kindly mark my response as a solution.

Hi @cchen75 , ideally it should be available. Since, it isn't you can use the manual M code to get into a Table format. I'll share a snippet below. Thanks
Hi @cchen75
This looks to be another glitch in the Power query interface associated with dark/light mode settings.
Try switching back to Legacy as described here.

Does that fix it?
I suggest placing some feedback using the link in the options menu. I've placed some already relating to other glitches!
