In PowerBI Desktop, there is the option (Table tools -> New table) to create a new calculated table using DAX, for example via the ADDCOLUMNS or UNION functions.
I cannot find this option when adding the queries for a dataflow in our Premium Per User workspace.
Is this functionality not available (yet?), or am I overlooking something, or am I trying to use a dataflow for something it is not intended for ?
Thanks!

Hi, @SteffanH ;
Dataflows use Power Query, not DAX. You can perform many of the same calculations in Power Query as DAX, however these will be pre-calculated values, saved in the dataflow, and then imported into the Power BI data model.
