Union of 2 calculated columns from a single table

I have a table with 4 CALCULATED cols:

Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4

Val1  Val2 Val3 Val4

Val5  Val6 Val7 Val8

 

 

I want to to create a new table with a single column which has values from Col2 and col3:

ie. NewCol

    Val2

    Val3

    Val6

    Val7 

 

Is this possible?

You can simplified this doing: 

Create a New Table:

 

Table = UNION(VALUES(Table1[Col2]),VALUES(Table1[Col3]))

Assuming a base table of "CalcColTable", and column names as described, I think this expression for a new table will work.  I'm not sure if there's a way to refactor the expression and make it simpler, but it produces the right outcome.

 

NewTable = UNION(CALCULATETABLE(SELECTCOLUMNS(CalcColTable, "NewCol", CalcColTable[Col2])), SELECTCOLUMNS(CalcColTable, "NewCol", CalcColTable[Col3]))

@AGo in power bi desktop, go to query editor (Edit Queries) and highlight column col2 and col3 and under Transform tab click Unpivot Columnns. Then remove unwanted columns.

This is the query editor, it doesn't contain the calculated columns of Power BI Desktop.
