Convert DateTime to Table is Missing

cchen75_0-1740173439085.png

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?

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()}

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.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-dark-mode

 

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!
