I have dozens of queries that I combine together using Append in Power Query for Excel for Windows (Office 365). When adding a query from the left side (Available Tables) to the right side (Tables to append) the added queries still remain on the left side and can be added multple times. As a result, it's hard to determine if a table on the left side has already been added.
Is there a reason the dialog box works like this? Other Microsoft products that use a similiar style dialog remove the items from the left when added to the right. I can't see a reason why I'd want to add the same table multiple times. Even if I wanted to do so, it would be good if there was a toggle to "filter out added items" or something similar. At a minimum, even an indication showing which queries have already been added to the right side would be helpful.
There are a number of things that can be improved about this dialog. Here's my list:
I think that changing these three things about the Append (and Merge) dialog would be very helpful. Thanks!
