    Hi SJW290390 ,

    Try below fix,

     

    • Open your Dataflow's Power Query Editor (in Power BI Service or Power BI Desktop, depending on where you're editing).

    • Locate the columns that correspond to the multiple choice fields — they will likely be of type List or Record.

    • Click the small icon at the top-right of the column header (often looks like two arrows 🔽 or a box with an arrow).

      • If it's a List, you'll choose “Expand to New Rows”.

      • Then, if needed, use another expand step to extract the actual Value field from the resulting records.

    If needed you can combine them back to a single row using Text.Combine([YourField], ", ")
