Source Query - Advanced Editor

I think I may be missing something simple. I uploaded a SQL Server data source with sql code. Example:

(

Select

Name,

Number

from Table

)

 

When I go into Power BI desktop later, I open the query editor, and go to advanced editor; the query is rewritten and has extra characters because it is using the "Source = Sql.Database" function.

 

How do I get the SQL query as I put it in? It is annoying to have to edit/format the query everytime I want to make a change.

 

Note: creating a view or stored procedure source is not an option in this case.

 

Thanks!
