Alias table/view in power bi desktop

Hi,

 

If have a view/table and want to alias it, whilst can do this in database

 

e.g if have table/view  calendar and want to have a version which is actual calendar and one which is financial calendar whilst can create database objects for this purpose what is best way for this to be done in power bi.  Import and rename table or other approach?

 

Thanks

@po Please try this..

 

In Power Query Editor, we have an option to "Duplicate Table" (Right click on the table)

In Data Pane, Create a new table as NewTableName = ExistingTableName

duplicate table is select * from table where col= 2 etc.
