The Get & Transform icon to get data "from a table or range" is grayed out if the cell is in an Excel table. If it is in a non-table area, it converts to a table and loads, but will not let you load from a real table. You have to either load from a different table then change the SOURCE = line in the query, or manually type the = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content] statement.

This appears to be fixed in insider 1809 build 10823.20000.
My machines on 1808 Monthly Targeted still broken, and no update is being reported. Hopefully that one will be available soon.
I have the same issue.
One work around:
Get Data > From File > From Workbook > select the same Workbook and desired Table in it as Data Source.
Works for me in the meantime.
However, subscribed, as this is one of the features I use quite frequently...
Interesting. Note though that will only work if the file is on a normal file system - local hard drive, network drive. it will not work if the file is on Sharepoint as most of our files are, unless the user is syncing that library locally.
