    You can't. Power Query Editor only show the original row data. The calcuated column created by DAX can not be shown in Query Editor

    If its a column that you created after loading the data and clicking on "Close & Apply" then you can't use it in Power Query

     

    The only workaround that I can think of is if you extract your data e.g. in an Excel file and then load it in a new PBIX file as a new table. Alternatively you'll have to recreate your column in Power Query through the use of M Query language
