    You can use Table{0}[Column] to refer to it (use your table and column names).

    You can put it in a variable with an assignment e.g.

    p = TableA{0}[Column1]

    Hi HotChilli ,

     

    Thanks for your answer, it works well.

    p = TableA{0}[Column1]

     

    However, i too find some other way out to achieve the goal, below is the code.

    varName=Table.FirstValue(TableName)

     

    This will give first column of first row.

     

    Thanks
