If you add a column using 'Modeling->New Column' it wont show up in query editor, its scope is limited to report only i.e. after the data is populated and query editor steps are completed.

If you want to add column at query editor level, got to query editor ->Add Column -> Conditional Column.

This one would be added as a step in data tranformation.

    Hi marimar,

     

    It's different in Power BI. No columns are needed. Maybe a measure is enough. The result could be as follows.

    Column1    Column2      Measure (the formula is = sum('table'[Column1]) / sum('table'[Column2]))

     

    If you would like the details, please provide a sample data.

     

    Best Regards,

    Dale
