its well known that intellisense has always been broken with things like ListList.Contains


or pressing . after typing certain prefixes does not correctly show options, or typing null enter puts null.type in.


Also a huge issue is no intellisense in Dataflows


both need fixing

Update 11/19/2024: We're working on enabling intellisense in Power Query Online. We will update this idea once we have more information to share, but we are aiming to have a public preview during the first half of the calendar year 2025.

RE: Fix Power Query Intellisense

I couldn't agree more on this one.hopefully Power Query development team can get some ideas from VS code intellisense. There, it works perfectly, at least for Python and SQL (these are the programming languages I work the most. Haven't tested others, but I'm assuming they work equally well given VS code popularity).Thank you.

RE: Fix Power Query Intellisense

Fully agree. One of my biggest issues is intelligence guessing what you want, and almost always getting it wrong. It always replaces Text.Start with some function I never use!

Makes sense even if you don't think about it...

There are plug-ins for Notepad++ and Visual Studio Code and probably other editors, but it would be more convenient to have it in the "Advanced" editor.

RE: Fix Power Query Intellisense

They do have Intellisense for M / Power Query, but it is as buggy as a trucker's windshield. I tried to bring this up at the Community Forum but not getting a lot of traction:
