I don't think so.
Here (Though i note the article is old):
Unfortunately, calculated tables are not available in Excel 2016. If
you need a similar solution with Excel 2016, you can rely on linked
back tables (i.e. queries over the data model materialized in Excel
tables and then loaded back in the model). The only limitation is that
the size of linked back tables cannot exceed the physical limit of 1M
rows of Excel, whereas DAX calculated tables have no limit in size and
can work in many more scenarios, resulting in a very elegant and neat
model.
I think it is for Power BI particularly using the "New Table" feature and SSAS tabular using new calculated table:
Uses for the New Table Feature in Power BI
This is only available in Power BI Desktop and not in any of the Excel
versions or SSAS Tabular. This feature is essentially a “Calculated
Table” function. You can pass any valid DAX measure that returns a
table of values, and the table will be materialised and loaded into
the data model.
And with SSAS calculated table.
How to create a calculated table
First, verify the tabular model has a compatibility level of 1200 or
higher. You can check the Compatibility Level property on the model in
SSDT.
Switch to the Data View. You can't create a calculated table in
Diagram View.
Select Table > New calculated table.
Type or paste a DAX expression (see below for some ideas).
Name the table.
Create relationships to other tables in the model. See Create a
Relationship Between Two Tables (SSAS Tabular) if you need help with
this step.
Reference the table in calculations or expressions in your model or
use Analyze in Excel for ad hoc data exploration.
