Hi @VaibhavBhosle,

 

To be clear, your question is how to use KQL queries in your Power Query, correct?

 

If that is the case I would suggest to have a look at a couple of Microsoft examples.

 

I found the below is example in the Azure Data Explorer connector documentation. It demonstrates how you could use a function for your KQL queries and use those in your Power Query M.

 

The example is from a different type of data source, but in concept you should be able to use the same for your setup.
