Hi All,
I have a query which has a column name "Components" and it has List values in it . I want to extract the data from this column so it gets stored in a new column in the query.
Basicaly I want to extract the data in "name" attribute . How this can be done? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

In the colulmn header, click on the double arrow expand button and "expand to new rows". You should then have a column of Records. Click on the expand button on that column and choose only the name field.
