Issue in DAX Query

[abhinav_k18]

I am trying to create a calculated column in DAX Query view ( not in power Query Window) .Its simple , columns should get value as weekday or weekend , depending on day of the week. 
Find below the code snippet 

DEFINE COLUMN

'Calendar'[Day Type] =

IF(

    'Calendar'[DayNumberOfWeek] = 1 || 'Calendar'[DayNumberOfWeek] = 7,

    "Weekend",

    "Weekday"

)

Evaluate

SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(

    'Calendar'[Day Type]

)
The error is 'UNEXPECTED COLUMN Column'
Can anyone guide?

@abhinav_k18 @v-zhengdxu-msft In DAX Query view I immediately get an error just trying DEFINE COLUMN.

@abhinav_k18 Not sure DAX Query View is fully baked. That query seems to work in DAX Studio but not in DAX Query View.
