Hi
I have a share point list that has comments in HTML. I have used the below formula to convert to plain text in Power Query
Html.Table([ColumnName] , {{"text",":root"}})
however there are rows that have no comments in the sharepoint list and the formula errors saying that the type null can not be converted to text. how do i get around this issue.
thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @WJ876400
You can deal with this error by usng try ... otherwise like so
try Html.Table([ColumnName] , {{"text",":root"}}) otherwise null
So if you encounter an error at this point, Power Query will just return null and the query won't stop at this step.

Try this in PQ advance editor - Table.AddColumn(#"Previous column", "New column name", each Html.Table([Html column],{{"PlainText",":root"}})).

Hi @WJ876400 ,
Is it like this?
Would you mind providing your HTML code? I hope to test it.
Best regards,
