Power BI dataflow support for type date, time, and fixed decimal

[redstone23]

Add support for date, time, and fixed decimal types in dataflows.  

Per below posts this feature is not supported.

And really!  I have to ask for this when these types are listed in the power query editor, but it actually does nothing.

Hi @redstone23, 

I'm afraid it's not supported currently. Please vote this same idea up: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/36269509-dataflows-data-types-par...

Greetings Ms. Yu,

Thanks for the direction on where to vote.  I was not finding anything through web searches. 

I am still perplexed on why Microsoft would list these data types in the Power Query editor if they do nothing.  This is really confusing. 

Do I need to suggest an idea of Microsoft removing non-supported data types from the Power Query editor, too?
