I didn't see the point bothering to use python in your senario. Value.NativeQuery() in Power Query is an out-of-the-box function to fetch data with intact sql.


Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
