Hi @knishal 

Looks like your data was not expanded as it should in power query. You need to go back to the query editer and properlt extract your data as required.

@tamerj1 the data is coming from a sharepoint task list. All of the other fields has data except for those

Hi @knishal ,

In Power Query editor you need to expand those columns like this.

I did that. Im getting the alert below when I expand the column and I also check in the sharepoint library they are user assigned to the task but its showing as "table" [list]

@knishal ,
Please check the [list] cell in Power Query Editor. If it's empty you cannot expand it.

@knishal 

You nees to check your source data in the sharepoint list

@tamerj1 there is no issue with the sharepoint list
