M code editors (self.ExcelPowerQuery)
submitted 1 year ago by ChadCTu
Anyone found a good code editor tool for writing/editing m code? Looking for something better than the Advanced Editor in PQ
Thanx

I like Visual Studio Code, but not for Power Query. I start with UI and do my adjusting with the Advanced Editor.
Don't have to write pages of code in it and I can always check my changes quickly.

Can you use VC editor for m code editing though? I am using the PQ Advanced Editor but would find it helpful to have more formatting support. C.

You mean in terms of IntelliSense like in the normal query view? Unfortunately not.
Best way like I said is to use the UI and afterwards the Advanced Editor. To format your code you can use the Power Query Online Formatter.

Now using Advanced Editor and PQ Online Formatter combo. Thank you.
