Using Challenge 438 as an example, the crosstab in designer cloud needs to be dynamic for the new column names to ensure parity with desktop. Unless I'm missing something, you would need to click on the crosstab and manually reset it/add new fields anytime the data changes. Desktop would automatically pick up new fields.

Replace, ReplaceFirst, ReplaceChar and Regex_Replace in the cloud all have a limitation where arguments must be constants. Any attempt to use a column returns an error. This would a nice enhancement to have parity with Desktop. The below functions currently error out in cloud but work in desktop.

 

Replace(Column1,Column2, Column3)

Regex_Replace(Column1,Column2,Column3)

Could doesn't like that Column2 and Column3 are references to fields. It only works if you hardcode a string like "text". Desktop doesn't have this limitation.
