Not sure where you found the 7.x functions palette. I found the function under Numeric>>Data Manipulation.
NI changed some things about data representation and flattening in LV8, so if you want to work with old data, you should right click the function and select Convert 7.x Data.
There is a rant here about the palette being in a problematic location, but that will go into the proper thread.
