Dynamic Table generation as per data change in SQL

Hi ,
Can we execute something like : Select * from table in Power BI .
The reason is I need to see a table having columns as per my data source.

Today Data source (SQL DB) had 5 columns , tomorrow 10 columns , can I automate this without actually performing Drag and Drop as and when Data Source updates ?.

Or any way to generate a simple table based with dynamic columns without actually having any manual intervention.

Regards

That is standard functionality in Power Query. If you look at the generated code you won't even see a select statement. 

 

Alternatively you can use the Advanced options to write a custom query where you can also choose Select *.
