Select Columns from OData Feed

I'm looking for a way to reduce the number of columns this Odata feed is bringing in. Once I select my User Data table, it's pulling in over 2000 columns, making powerQ very slow. 

I know I can, remove other columns once they are in Power Q but I was wondering if there's any way to update Advanced editor so it only brings in the following columns:
"ID"
"RefNumber"
"FullName"
"CreatedDate"

 

Advanced Editor

let
Source = OData.Feed("ODataURL", [#"X-API-Token"=#"Key"], [Implementation="2.0"]),
Users_table = Source{[Name="Users",Signature="table"]}[Data]
in
Users_table

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

Add a query in your expression:

let
Source = OData.Feed("ODataURL", [#"X-API-Token"=#"Key"], [Implementation="2.0"]),
Users_table = Source{[Name="Users",Signature="table"]}[Data]
#"Column"=Table.SelectColumns(Users_table,{"ID","RefNumber","FullName","CreatedDate"})
in
#"Column"

 


Best Regards,
Kelly

@Anonymous , from syntactic perspective, OData Feed connector features the functionality of passing query paramters to the requested url. You might want to try after referring to the documentation of the requested uri.


Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
