Dialog box vanishes in Power Query Editor when trying to split columns
Hi I've got Excel 365 and trying to improve my power query skills for work and also for personal use as well hopefully. Anyway, not sure this is a bug or how to get around it if anyone can he...
Not exactly. For this concrete case that could be the workaround. But this box could appear on any other operation, e.g. correcting of table merge. This is not specific to split columns.
Do Microsoft have this kind of issue logged as a defect? I searched on the internet and its been an issue since at least MS Excel 2010 ?!?!?

I believe an issue is on radar. At the same time I'm not sure it's easy to avoid such issue due to nature of PQ window for Excel. Anyway, it happens much more seldom than it was before. Issue in link you provided is bit different story.
Anyway, keep you on latest PQ for Excel.
