Is it possible to import to SQL server synonyms? Currently only tables and views are showing as options.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

As far as I'm aware, if you can query something in SQL then you can import it into Power Query using the Native Query connection, for example:

Therefore, we can query sys.synonyms to get the information you need:
