Breaking up a gaint table

[Chris1300]

I started using PowerBI with an API call that imports my data into a table. Unknowingly, I then proceeded to add many many calculated columns in same table in DAX. So, now I have my original data import and calculations in the SAME table. I think the more sensible approach would be to keep my original table from the API import as is. Then create a new/separate table that holds all the calculations and transformations.

Is there a way to access the column calculations in bulk so I can simply copy and paste them into a new separate table? My goal is to try to keep the Original Table API data separate and another tables that holds all the transformations and calculations. This way if i ever need to change my data source I still have the calculations. 

I can do them manually 1by1, i can create new column and then copy and paste the formula. But was hoping if there is a bulk way or do them all at once way...

Hi @Chris1300 ,

Perhaps you have tried exporting a template file (.PBIT)? It will keep the calculated columns and measures created, just change your data source.

For more information, please refer to: Create and use report templates in Power BI Desktop 

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
