How to use a table with calculated columns (DAX) as a data source in Power Query?

I have a table that I added some calculated columns to as I couldn't work out how to create those columns without DAX. Now I want to reference that table within Power Query again and tranform it. In Excel this is possible if I simply load the table from the Data Model into a spreadsheet and reference that spreadsheet again in Power Query, but I can't work out how to something similar in Power BI.

Hi @justlogmein ,

 

Agree with @freginier . You may describe your requirement in detail so that we could try use M not DAX to realize your expected output in Power Query directly.

You can't because DAX is calculated after Power Query steps. 

What kind of column do you have in DAX ? maybe it's possible to create it in M
