Add a column with GUID values

I have a power query, where I need to add a Record ID and I usually use GUID values.  I have this, but it is getting an error: 

Table.TransformColumnTypes(Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed columns 1", "RecordID"each text.NewGuid()), {{"RecordID"type text}}).
 
What should the syntax be to get a GUID value?  It thought it was Text.NewGUID, but maybe I am wrong?
 
Thanks for the information

M is case sensitive, so be sure to write Text.NewGuid() and not text.NewGuid() or Text.NewGUID or some other variation.
