Generating Table as a subset of other table

Hi 

 

I have a table with many many columns (the name of the colums are a,b,c, ... z. 

Now I would like to generate a new table, which includes only a subset of the old table, let's say coulms a,k,r. 

 

May I ask you to help out. 

 

Thx

Szymon

Yes, I mean DAX. 

But, what I understand, the SELECTCOLUMNS gives a scalar value and not the single columns.
