Thanks for that suggestion  ankitpatira I found that and it is useful. It would be even better if we could isolate it to just the code for that column as in the Custom Column editor with which I created the column in the first place. In the Advanced Editor we have the code for the whole query.

What I am looking for is to edit an existing column in an existing query and change it back from a Conditional Column (automatically changed by Power BI) to a Custom Column which is how I originally created it.
