Hi @maha_electro ,

 

When you input data manually using Enter Data from the Power BI tab, the query it generates looks like that first line. Basically, it takes the information you put in and converts it into a compressed form that isn't human-readable to save space. That first line is decompressing it back into a table format.

You can refer this for more details -
