So, within SharePoint, if I create a new form (xsn format), and submit that, it gets added as a new row in the SharePoint, with xml file.
On the page, there is an option to "Export to Excel", which generates a Web Query File. And if this file is opened with Excel, it provides the value of columns exactly same as it is in the SharePoint (via the forms).
However, if I export the data from SharePoint directly to PowerBI, then some of the columns have values as [Tables].
Sharing an example of one column:
Actual Value:
| Issue_Desc |
| Service not available |
Output in Power Query:
| Issue_Desc |
| Table |
Here's the details from the XML file:
<my:Issue_Desc><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:space="preserve"><p><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span>Service not available<span id="ms-rterangepaste-end"></span><br /></p>
</html></my:Issue_Desc>
Please advise if there is a way to fix it.
Thanks
