I'm using Power Query to merge two queries together and match some columns using fuzzy matching. When I do this, I'm not given the option to use fuzzy matching under the "Join Kind" bar. Has that button been moved to somewhere else? I'm using Excel 2016 and since I'm on a work computer I can't update it or change the software much.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
You're looking for this (integrated into PQ), and not the old Excel addin, correct?

I can't 100% confirm this, but according to this comment, and the fact that the subheading on the support page says "Excel for M365", leads me to believe it is a 365 exclusive function at this time.
