Is there a string as json format in each rows of this csv file? Sorry for that, We cannot understand your data model clearly, Could you please provide a sample mockup csv based on fake data? Please don't have any Confidential Information or Real data in it. Please upload your files to One Drive and share the link here.

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      Sorry for that, we cannot access your link. Could you please put several json strings based on fake data into the rows of table? Please don't have any Confidential Information or Real data in it. Please delete your shared link if it contain real data.

        Let me see if I can simplify the example just a bit. 

         

        • Source file is a .csv
        • The "details" header or column contains a JSON string. Here is an example of text from the raw .csv
          •  {"shipstation-synced":true,"shipstation-orderId":5287458}
        • This is what PowerBI is doing to the JSON String. It's being "pushed" into the shopify_order_id column.
