Create a new table with columns from another table...DAX or Query?

[unclejemima]

I have a table called "account".  In that table is customers AND suppliers.

I want to remove only the customers from that table.  There are many identifiers in the account table like "customer_or_supplier" column that lets me separate them.

So can I use DAX to make a new column showing only the records from account that are "customer_or_supplier" type of "customer"?

Or can I make a new table by doing a query for just "customer" account records, and then add in the columns I want (aka, postal code, etc.)

Thanks!

@unclejemima there are many ways  you can do it, it all depends what you want to achive. Here are few ideas:

- in power query filter for "customer", this will only load customer in your model but if you use other type, you will not able to do it

- create duplicate column in power query and filter it for "customer"

- set page level/report level filter for "customer"

- use filter in DAX formulas

Thanks.

I've made a new column called "customer" with DAX.  Will that work?

Is there any way to make a NEW table for this instead of just coumns inside the table?

The customer/supplier table I use suppliers in other reports...I just want to create a new tabel that singles out the customers without affecting the original table.

@unclejemima not sure if you need to create new column, you need to filter your rows. If you can share sample data it will help to get you the solution.
