Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in Power Query Gone in September 2024 Update?
Hi GregoryB
It appears that the Quick Access Toolbar in the Power Query Editor is only present when the Theme is set to Default, but not when set to Dark, Light, or Use system setting 😞
The good news is that your previous QAT settings should be restored if you switch back to Default.
I don't see why this should be the case, and I'll be submitting some feedback on this!
I completely agree. I was really disappointed to see that Power Query’s Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) disappeared in Power BI Desktop’s September release when selecting any of the new color themes. It's such a useful feature for me as well.
I just installed the October release, but unfortunately, the QAT still isn’t back. The only theme that continues to support it is now called 'Legacy'.
Also, I’ve noticed that Power Query’s 'File' menu exhibits similar behavior to the QAT.
I really hope the QAT returns. It would be unfortunate if it was permanently removed just 'to align with the new design principles and provide a cleaner interface'.
Probably (hopefully?) they just didn't get the fix implemented before the October release was ready to ship. I guess we'll just have to watch the November release closely.
