I was able to select columns I want by using "Table.SelectColumns(New table name,{"col1", "col2"})".

I also found there is an button to "Choose columns" 🙂

Can I use Table.SelectColumns{} and specify the columns in Edit Query window?

If you use the SF connector, you have to import all the columns and then in powerquery remove the columns that you don't need.
