Office 365/Excel 2016 I've started to see odd behavior in functions I add to Power Query. They work OK but are not showing up in ActiveWorkbook.Connections enumerations.

Here is a simple function.

Code:
(PO_Code as text) => 
let
    values = {
    {"BLKT", "Blanket"},
    {"L", "Lease"},
    {"PF", "Physical Facilities"},
    {"RENT", "Rental"},
    {"REP", "Repair"},
    {"SINV", "Summ Invoice"},
    {PO_Code, "Other"}
     },
     Result = List.First(List.Select(values, each _{0}=PO_Code)){1}
in
    Result

This loads and works, but when I hover over it in the Queries and Connections pane it says "The Workbook connection couldn't be created" and I don't have a Load To option under the Edit button. Is this new behavior or (ugh) do I need to uninstall and reinstall Excel?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Works fine for me. Did you try close and open ? hehe
Sometimes you need to fully close excel. i had many times one sheet open causing touble

I closed and rebooted several times. On spreadsheets created before this mid-July change the existing functions show a connection, but new ones that I add give the error. And there's no frown to send the message to MSFT!
