Listing values from Table and Sub tables

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am new to PowerBI. Trying to figure out how would I visualize or show the list of values of a row that contains another subtable

For example: Parent table has 5 rows and has a column called: "extrainfo" which is a subtable that has bunch of rows and columns.

When i use the query - i can only show values from Parent table but cannot seem to show values from sub-table.

I want to be able to show

Value1-from-Parent-Table	Value1-from-Parent-table	Value-from-subtable-row1
Value1-from-Parent-Table	Value1-from-Parent-table	Value-from-subtable-row2
Value1-from-Parent-Table	Value1-from-Parent-table	Value-from-subtable-row3
Value2-from-Parent-Table	Value2-from-Parent-table	Value-from-subtable-row1

How do i go about doing this?

Thanks
