How to display explicit table name in advanced editor?

How do I display the explicit table name in query advanced editor?

 

I am pulling 1 table for the power query from 1 folder with 180 models

Query1.jpg

 

In the advanced editor the explicit table name: Cover_Table001 is no longer referenced

But Cover_Table001 is explicitly referenced in the "Transform Sample File from 2020" in the function code

query 4.jpg

 

How do I display the Cover_Table001 table name within Query 1-Custom Function 1 within the code for the advanced editor?

Hi acohen-ih-corp,

 

As I know , this is default in desktop. In my test, you will see it have a query like below(it invokes a function which have corresponding table in it, so the query will know which table it refer to)

I want to avoid the default setup for the query, only for the line containing "transform file from the folder" so that it displays the the table name "Cover_Table001". 

 

In my example I want to display {[Item] = "Cover_Table001", Kind = "Table"]} within Query1. In your example this would be the same as displaying {[Item] = "Sheet1", Kind = "Sheet"]} inside your query titled : "the folder".

How do I make this happen?
