Hi All
is it me or does the powerquery function documention features not show up in the dataflow powerquery?
Adding function documentation - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
Powerquery Desktop
PBIS dataflow with same powerquery
Cant find any limitations or traps for young players.
Code snippet of relevant function meta...
FunctionType = type function (DateToManage as datetimezone, optional inputlocale as text, optional returnwhat as text) as any
meta [
Documentation.Name = "DST_Offset_zone",
Documentation.LongDescription = "Evaluates a datetime - in datetimezone and returns the UTC or AU datetime",
Documentation.Examples = {
[Description = "AU to UTC", Code = "DST_Offset_zone([Datetimezone field],EN-AU,DTZ)", Result = "The UTC DateTime from the AU DateTime"],
[Description = "AU to UTC", Code = "DST_Offset_zone(21/03/2012 12:33 PM,EN-AU,DTZ)", Result = "21/03/2012 1:33:00 AM +11:00"]
}
],
TypedFunction = Value.ReplaceType(Function, FunctionType)

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ChrisBurgessACT ,
same here basically, only property that shows for me as well is "Description" (instead of LongDescription).

Thanks for confirming @ImkeF that I'm not mad (at least in data munging).
I think I will raise a support tix and see if there is a reason for the inconsistency
cheers
