    Hi david2,

     

    After looking into the pbix file and JSON files you shared with me, I found several issues you may need to pay attention to.

     

    1. Use formula below in your Advanced Editor.

        #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Expanded Column1",Table.ToRows(fields))
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

    Not

        #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Converted to Table",Table.ToRows(fields))
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

    2. As a table cannot have two columns with the same column name, please make sure all values of "name" column in "fields" table are unique and not already exist in "deals" table.

     

    Here are the modified pbix file and JSON files for your reference.

     

    Regards
