Hi folks,
I have a table where a data is available and the text is basically in one column as shown below
In the screenshot there are 8 rows in table ("Inputdata") and in column Z the below text is availalable per row
ROW 1 data -> "[{""questionId"":""r9cbd0bd3150d487e928d96309fe028b7"",""response"":""No""},{""questionId"":""r400d164cd32348a8aa9d01c1700597c0"",""response"":""Yes""}]"
ROW 2 data -> "[{""questionId"":""r5d4f85ce74844463808afc2131214600 "",""response"":""No""}]"
Now, here is the problem to solve
I need to take one row and breakdown the text and insert into rows into another table "DataSet"
So the final table will have 3 columns
QuestionID, Response, Inserteddate
row level data is
r9cbd0bd3150d487e928d96309fe028b7 ; NO ; datetime()
r400d164cd32348a8aa9d01c1700597c0 ; YES ; datetime()
r5d4f85ce74844463808afc2131214600 ; ABC ; datetime()

No need to torture DAX for that. Power Query is much better at parsing JSON.
let
Source = #table({"Row"},{{"[{""questionId"":""r9cbd0bd3150d487e928d96309fe028b7"",""response"":""No""},{""questionId"":""r400d164cd32348a8aa9d01c1700597c0"",""response"":""Yes""}]"},{"[{""questionId"":""r5d4f85ce74844463808afc2131214600 "",""response"":""No""}]"}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Json.Document([Row])),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom"),
#"Expanded Custom1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Custom", "Custom", {"questionId", "response"}, {"questionId", "response"})
in
#"Expanded Custom1"
