Different column format
Hi all,
I am very new to the Power BI world and would like someone to help me with my query.
I imported a SharePoint document library into PowerBi, which was very straightforward. However, a few columns have a different format, and I need help determining their value.
The Value shoes as a list and when I click through it, at the end I can see the actual value, I was wonderign is there anyway I can see the value in the Power Query Editor insted of clicking a few times. Other columns value looks ok. The column that I am having issue is the lookup column.
Hi Harris0211,
On the top right of the column, there is an expand icon which you can use to either combine the elements of a list into a single text or expand the elements into rows. If you want to access just the first element, create a custom column and enter this formula:
[Company Name]{0}That said, the second element is {1} as index in M starts with 0.
