Add multiple columns in power bi

when i load data into power bi, there are already 5 column named A,B,C,D,E.

What is the fast way to add multiple columns with names : F,G,H,K,L,M,N... with null value to the database.

I will change the value of the column later

 

thanks,

  • Create a Table with 2 columns 

    e.g.

    -- ColumnName -----Value

    Put the number of  Columnname in columnname field and keep values as null

     

     

    then go to advance editor 

    Pivot this table

    with "No Aggregate"

     

    you will get the result as single row with multiple column

     

     

     

    Now 2 ways

    Go to DAX and create a cross join between 2 tables one is source other is new columntable

    CROSSJOIN function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs

    2nd 

    Go to Power query and Add the column

    in formula field put the name of table

    Expand the table in and you will get multiple columns in quick way
