Is there a way to view distinct values in a column (so that i can decide whether to keep/transform/delete this column)?
I don't see such an option in Query Editor > View
Thanks!

Hello,
Do you need just to see the distinct values or you want a code to list them somehow or to make a count of duplicates if any?
If you just want to see distinct values of a column you can click on the down arrow of a column and it will show you, just like in Excel, a list of all distinct values. Another "viewing" option would be to do a Group by in Power Query by your column that will give you a list of all distinct values.
Otherwise, you have to be more specific about your needs.
