Hi @kimalto452 ,
unfortunatels this is used in too many different ways.
You can read more about its role as an escape sign and part of identifiers here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/m-spec-lexical-structure
But they are also using it in some function names, which I find very unfortunate as well. Documentation about this can only be found in the function documentation itself: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/sharptable
