Power Query and Partial HTML Fields

Hi nicksutherland ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) This is my test data.  

(2) Copy and paste the following code into Advanced Editor. This is achieved by splitting and merging columns.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wiik1MDBOTsksAzNSjQyMjHQNLIDIqqICIqcPl8Sq1lzXyBKLWqVYHRyGG5FguDEew1MScwsUEktTMksU8lJTU4oVSvIVkoBSsQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Project Memo" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Project Memo", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "Project Memo", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("<div>", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Project Memo.1", "Project Memo.2", "Project Memo.3"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Project Memo.1", type text}, {"Project Memo.2", type text}, {"Project Memo.3", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Project Memo.2", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("</div>", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Project Memo.2.1", "Project Memo.2.2"}),
    #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter1",{{"Project Memo.2.1", type text}, {"Project Memo.2.2", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter2" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type2", "Project Memo.3", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("</div>", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Project Memo.3.1", "Project Memo.3.2"}),
    #"Changed Type3" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter2",{{"Project Memo.3.1", type text}, {"Project Memo.3.2", type text}}),
    #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(#"Changed Type3",{"Project Memo.1", "Project Memo.2.1", "Project Memo.3.1"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter("", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged"),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Merged Columns",{"Merged"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Other Columns",{{"Merged", "Project Memo"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

(3) Then the result is as follows.
