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.
