And an F# like language, Power Query.

I haven’t heard of this before. Do you happen to have any more details?

EDIT: Found it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/. But it doesn’t look particularly F#-like — Power Query seems more focused around, well, querying data.

I think parent comment was referring to the M-code [0]

Yep that was it.

Ah, thanks!

I really like the M Language and Power Query (PQ) makes it really easy and convenient to build data mashups. You can even use it as a SQL query builder by viewing the Native Query code and then copying that.

The main issue I'm facing is how to distribute the library of PQ/M functions I've developed?

Currently I have a central library workbook and then have to copy code from there. Problem is that updates and bugfixes don't flow downstream.

I really hope Microsoft creates a solution for this. Would love to hear about some approaches for handling this in the meantime.

There are a few third party libraries/projects that are useful for that situation. Libpq[1] is one, and this[2] project is another. The readme for that second one includes links to several other M/PQ related projects.
