Appending tables with calculated column

‎07-30-2017 01:15 PM

Hi,

 

In query editor when I try to append tables I see that Power BU ignores calculated columns? Please can you tell me how to append the calculated columns as well? Why does query editor ignore calculated columns?

 

Thanks,

 

CM

If you do your "calculated columns" in the query editor instead of in the data model, you can append them in the query editor as well.

Query editor -> data model is a one-way-street, so I'm always suggesting to do additional columns in the editor and use DAX just for measures.
