Power Query not showing DateTime Tools

$

Hello,

 

I have a question regarding the DateTime Tools in the Power BI Power Query editor. First I created a blank query. Then in the Source step I entered = DateTime.LocalNow() to get the current date as a parameter. When I do this in Excel Power Query I get a new Transform tab with DateTime Tools that allow me to easily convert the parameter to a table or a list. This new Transform tab does not appear in the Power BI Query editor when I enter the Source step. I can't seem to find an option to turn this feature on. Does anyone know if this can be turned on or does it just not exist in Power BI Power Query. 

 

I do have a workaround. I just wrap the = {DateTime.LocalNow()} in curly brackets to generate a list. Then I right click the list to convert the list to a table. This works just fine, but still curious if there is an option in Power BI that just needs to be turned on.

 

Thanks,

 

Rob
