Column dissappears after adding it
- 1 year ago
Hi Anonymous ,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
Thank you saritasw for the prompt response.
When you add a New Column using DAX in the Data or Report view, it's added to the data model, not to Power Query (Transform Data).
Power Query (Transform Data) doesn't "see" columns created with DAX, because it's a separate step that happens before the model is built.
If you want the column in Power Query (Transform Data):
Go to Home > Transform DataIn the Power Query Editor, right-click your table and choose Add Column from there (like "Custom Column")
This will keep the column in Power Query - and you can modify it before loading to the model
If you're using DAX New Column:
It's normal that it doesn't show up in Power QueryYou can use it in visuals and calculations, just not in the Transform step

Hi saritasw,
Thank you for your time.
I have tried saving and reloading several times, but to no avail. I did manage to get the column "to stay" by removing the formula start and checking the green checkmark. So I do have a column now. However, when I go to transform to get a value inside this column, the column isn't present at all (in power query). Tried saving and loading in different manners, but to no avail.
