Is it possible to use DAX instructions in M Power query?

[diegomartinop]

Hi all

I have a table in which some columns were added using DAX instructions.

My question is: is it possible to reuse these instructions within the advanced editor in M? I would like to know that because I have many DAX instructions that will take too long to convert them one by one to the power query editor. So is there a way to do that easily?

Thanks in advance

Hey @diegomartinop ,

DAX is the language of the Power BI data model, M is the language of Power Query.

At the moment it is not possible to use DAX commands in Power Query. You have to recreate them in Power Query of you can do the transformations later in the data model in DAX, if you cannot solve it in Power Query.

However, in an ideal world the data transformation should be done in M/Power Query, the analysis in the Data Model in DAX.

Sorry about that.

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards
