Power BI Custom Lineage
Since Collibra Data Lineage does not support all Power Query M functions, does anyone know of a way to use custom lineage to fill the gaps?

Admin3 years ago · Edited@rcraig.agloan.com Product tells me: “It is possible to use custom lineage to define lineage Power BI data model > Power BI Table > Power BI Column and the Power BI Report. But we would need a list of their most common power M Query functions so we can support them.” Can you pass that info along to your customer success manager (@patrice.verbeek.collibra.com?) to get to our Product team?

We apologize that not all Power Query M functions are supported. There are over 700 functions so we try to make sure we support the most frequently used functions. Can you please send us a list of your most common Power Query M functions, so we can prioritize adding that functionality?
Custom lineage can be used to define PowerBI lineages that are not supported by the PowerBI harvester.
Just want to clarify that you can use custom technical lineage to display lineage you manually save to a JSON file and it will work without sending us a list of the functions. If you send us your list of functions, we may be able to add native support for them so you don’t have to rely on custom lineage as a workaround forever.
