HTML format to text in tables

Hi Siboska ,

Here is a handy M Function for stripping all the HTML tags:

let func = (HTML) =>
    let
        Check = if Value.Is(Value.FromText(HTML), type text) then HTML else "",
        Source = Text.From(Check),
        SplitAny = Text.SplitAny(Source,"<>"),
        ListAlternate = List.Alternate(SplitAny,1,1,1),
        ListSelect = List.Select(ListAlternate, each _<>""),
        TextCombine = Text.Combine(ListSelect, "")
    in
        TextCombine, 
        documentation = [
            Documentation.Name =  " Text.RemoveHtmlTags"
            , Documentation.Description = "Remove Html Tags"
            , Documentation.LongDescription = " Removes all Html tags from a text"
            , Documentation.Category = " Text.Modification"
            , Documentation.Source = " Inspired by a solution from Bill Szysz"
            , Documentation.Author = " Imke Feldmann: www.TheBIccountant.com & Mike Carlo: PowerBI.Tips"
            , Documentation.Examples = {[
                Description = "Function that enables one to pass in a column that has HTML tags."
                , Code = "<div>my bit of text</div>"
                , Result = "my bit of text "
                ]}] 
 in 
    Value.ReplaceType(func, Value.ReplaceMetadata(Value.Type(func), documentation))

Please try to create a new blank query and paste the above code into the advanced editor:

Then you can use this function directly:

Final output:
