Getting Started with Power Query

I have searched but still looking for a resource (hopefully with a few examples) on using Power Query in Power BI Query Custom Columns:

Thanks.

Power Query Custom Column steps:

 

In Power BI → Transform Data → Power Query Editor.

Add Column → Custom Column.

Write an M formula, e.g.:

[Units] * [Unit Price]


Click OK → new column created.

Close & Apply to load back to Power BI.

Use it for calculations, categorizing, text splits, date parts, etc.

Hi there, it's not 100% clear to me what you mean by this... Are you looking for a resource that will help you too build your own queries from scratch?
