Hello everybody,
I am reading the book Master Microsoft Power BI 2nd ed, in the book there is this code and the author don't really explain why there is a need for DummyVariable = null after defining the Source.
Can someone tell me why the author used DummyVariable = null?
Thank you.

To demonstrate the lazy vs eager evaluation logic of Power Query?
Hi @Nietzsche
Based on my understanding, "DummyVariable = null" is not a need after the Source. Probably the author is to show that it can be added here. And when it is added here, it will not affect the DirectQuery table as it is not used thus is ignored.
