Hi TylerHodges,



Is there a way, using DAX or PowerQuery or anything at all, to pull data from a "Record" without expanding the "Record"?

 

For example: I would like to get the value of computer.cn without expanding the "Computer" column "Record".

 

If you expand all "records", the data will be very large and there will be many duplicate values so the performance will worse.

 

You could expand the specific record you need rather than all records.

 

For your requirement to pull data from a "Record" without expanding the "Record", I'm afraid that we may not achieve that in Power BI currently.

 

Best Regards,
