Issue with data export from xml

‎06-24-2023 08:40 AM

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
