MSFT needs to make Applied steps smarter!!!!
1. I need MSFT to make applied steps to be smarter at looking at changes in previous steps.
i.e. if I removed a column in one step, don't give me an error in reorder columns (the next step) that the column that has now been removed isn't found, just remove that column it can't find from the formula.
note: Don't suggest to have the reorder columns step before removing. Sometimes I have 100 columns that I have to sift through first and dragging and dropping around that many columns is terrible.
2. If a step causes an error in a row, alert me and HIGHLIGHT THE ROW(S) where the errors are. I know it does the red line/hash at the top of the column when there's an error, but it's only noticeable if you're diligently looking at the columns.

OBJECTION, Your Honor! Is there a QUESTION in Counsel's statement?
Seriously, I hear you, but this is not the forum for this. I suggest you post this on the Fabric Ideas forum:

I like the idea of highlighting an Applied Steps that has an error!
Feel free to reply back here with links to your ideas from that forum to help other readers find and vote on your suggestions.
Best of luck.
Power Query is smart enough to have a parameter "MissingFields.Ignore".
YOU need to get smarter!
