Hi Experts
I have an access table with many colums and some of them include a multi-value cell, those are coming from a list. When I import this Access table into Power BI than everithing is OK and no error, but all the Colums with multi-values cells are not appiered.
It would be not the best to step back and using just simple values cells in the Access; for a perfect report mosty I need more subject from the list below, it determinate the type of changing.
It is important that the Power BI reporting to be online with access.
I hope you can support me.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
I found a solution in MS Access; I created a query from the table:
1. in normal way the special multivalue column is not visible in PowerBI, BUT
2. i duplicated this query on name rev2, and i have add the multivalue column on a ***.Value version in design view in Access
After that the Access split all the rows based on the data in the special multivaule cell but just in this Query.
If there were 2 different categories in the cell, than this query contains now 2 rows for this, and the differences is in the last ***.value column.
The PowerBI working well with this modified query, this query is living and working based on the multivalues table, so everithing is in connection.

Hi, not in Model view and not in Data view, not in Query; these colums with multi values cells are not there.
