Power Query Table not allowing copy & paste

[taylorg1820]

I needed to use Power Query to reformat data into a table I can use for analysis. I wanted to add a column where I could type comments, which are typically pasted from a different source. For whatever reason, excel is not allowing me to paste anywhere in the power query table. I can paste anywhere in the sheet outside of the table, but as soon as I click in the table, the paste button is greyed out. Is there a way to do this? My end goal is to create self referencing tables so that I can manually add comments which are logically linked to the rows of data in the table (so when I sort the table the comments are still in the correct rows). How can I do this while still being able to use copy and paste?

Seems it is not a general issue...

You can add an extra "comment" column. When you create the self reference, that "new" column is also kept.
The technique was explained here.
