Based on the community's findings we'd welcome a second look at the following Power Query functions vs the equivalent SQL server functionality for improvements to Query Folding.
These changes would enable faster dataset refreshes where applicable and improve the overall experience of using Power Query against relational data sources.
Name----------------------------------Supports Folding--------SQL
Character.FromNumber------------FALSE---------------------CHAR
Text.PositionOf------------------------FALSE--------------------CHARINDEX
Date.AddDays-------------------------FALSE---------------------DATEADD
Date.AddQuarters--------------------FALSE---------------------DATEADD
Date.AddWeeks-----------------------FALSE---------------------DATEADD
Date.DayOfWeekName-------------FALSE---------------------DATENAME
Date.EndOfMonth--------------------FALSE---------------------EOMONTH
Text.At-----------------------------------FALSE---------------------SUBSTRING
Text.Start-------------------------------FALSE---------------------LEFT
Text.Replace--------------------------FALSE---------------------REPLACE
Text.Repeat----------------------------FALSE---------------------REPLICATE
Text.Reverse--------------------------FALSE---------------------REVERSE
Text.End--------------------------------FALSE---------------------RIGHT
Text.ReplaceRange-----------------FALSE---------------------STUFF
Text.Range----------------------------FALSE---------------------SUBSTRING

RE: Query Folding Improvements
sorry.. upper is foldable just not within Table.TransformColumns.. makes sense.
RE: Query Folding Improvements
We noticed today during a demo that the upper and string_split in sql server were non-foldable.
RE: Query Folding Improvements
and fold for Teradata, and other databases too, please. How does Microsoft not fold these? Substring commands are one of the most basic SQL statements :-(
