JSON file and embedded fields

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I have a field in a JSON file that includes a lot of information about my customer.

The structure is as following :

[{"Customer name": David, "lname":Orely, "ID": null, , "CUSTOMFIELD": [{"CUSTOM_FIELD3": male, "CUSTOM_FIELD":Cluseter Co-lead }]}] 

Cluseter Co-lead is a role of David.

Power BI converts above data in a from that is shown in the screenshot.

Now customer question is this: number of professors based on their gender!  If I fieldter custom_field_id to contact_field_3, then I have no way to filter custome_field _id  to contact_field_7.

I tried to use pivot, but I got following error:

I appreciate if some one could help me to solve the issue.

Kind Regards,

Could you please provide more description about the quoted message? Based on above table, what structure do you want to convert to?

Hi,

I want to filter contact_field_7='Cluster Co-LEad' and contact_field_3='male.

contact_field_7 and  contact_field_3 keep different information about one person(in this casse person's role and gender'). But they are fetched as  different values of field'custom_field_id'. How can I apply this filter(contact_field_7='Cluster Co-Lead' and contact_field_3='male.)?

Regards,

Tooba

Hi,

I solved a problem in this way:

I created a copy of my data source in power BI, then filtered one of my sources based on contact_field_7 and filtered the copy of my source based on contact_fileld_3 and join them based on unique identifier. 

It worked fine for me:)
