Eastings and Northing Conversion to Longitude and Latitude United Kingdom

Is there a simple formular you can use in a calculated field to convert eastings and northings to longitude and latitude. It seems to be a bit complex.

 

In Tableau you just create a calculated field and use the makepoint function with the following code MAKEPOINT([XEASTINGS],[XNORTHINGS],27700)

 

I would like to think that there is something just as simple in Power BI. My Power BI skills are not advanced enough to write complex queries.

 

Any help would be really appreciated.
