Get queries from data flow

Looking for a way to extract queries from data flows from PowerBI without keeping the formatted text that is pasted on there.   When I try to simply copy and paste the query from the dataflow there are all different sorts of "#lf"s for example that are inherent to the format.   Any way to extract just the raw queries?

Yes, if you click the gear icon next to the source step, you'll see the original SQL query without the line feed characters:

Is your spoiler block meant to include a screenshot? It looks blank when I expand it.

 

Are you talking about native SQL queries in your dataflow's M code?

Yes, I'm talking about how when a query is inserted into a data flow and I then view the query's within the "edit tables" interface of the data flow,  I am unable to see the native queries but only the queries with the data flow formatted characters inserted.  Is there any away I can view the queries without the data flow formatted characters once they're in the data flow?

 

thanks
