Power Query temporary table

Hi,

is there any way to create temporary tables in power query to serve as support for transformations of other tables?

I use qliksense a lot and it is possible to create temporary tables that store certain transformations and later use these tables in other stages of the ETL, in the end I delete these temporary tables and only keep the main ones.

 

In power bi I can generate a table of this type but I can't delete this table at the end of the process, I just hide these tables from the users' view but what I would really like was to delete these tables at the end of the process.

 

Is there any way to create this kind of temporary table in power bi?

  • I think I already found the answer to this question, from what I understand by disabling the option below, the table would no longer be loaded in the model and would only serve as a temporary table

      Yes. Using this feature will italicize the query name and prevent it from being loaded into the model. It's like in Excel where a query is 'Connection Only' when you delete the loaded table but the query still exists.
