Hey @330SMG ,

 

that is not possible in DAX. There a calculated column always needs the columns that it's referring to.

But in PowerQuery that is possible. Every step by itself is completed. So after you create a new column in Power Query you can delete the referred columns in the next step.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards
Denis
