Hi,
Surprisingly "File" tab in PowerQuery interface has disappeared in the screen (rest of tabs are ok) and also I can not add any command to QAT. Screen size doesn't matter. Apart from reinstalling program do you have any other idea-option to check-uncheck to recover both things.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Carlos
Solved! Go to Solution.
File tab disappears using black color in PowerQuery. QAT is not allowed and also seems that selecting Date and Time buttons when transforming a datetime column is deactivated.
Find solution: Using Legacy color instead of black there is not any problem
Hi @CarlomV,
Just to double check, the Power BI Desktop designer itself still has the File Tab, right? You should be able to access this settings from that window.
Or do you have a different experience compared to the below screenshot? If so, which version of Power BI Desktop are you running?
