Need Help with import if JSON with seperate keys and values

Hello community, 

 

I have a slight problem with importing an JSON over a web API (I am fairly new to power Bi).  My issue is that I get a separate keys list and a value list looking like this:

In the keys list there are the header information like date, name for example. And in the values list there are the data that matches the headings. When I convert the values list into a table and then expand the table into new lines it puts all the data in one column like this, everything is written in a column one below the other.

How do I manage that I get the keys list as the headers and the values corresponding to the headers? I tried to extract the values and separate them with an ; and then split them. But then I have to manually do all the headers by hand.

 

I hope this is somewhat understandable 🙂

Do the values come in groups of 11? In that case you can change their index to a modulo (is repeated groups of 0..10

Hey 

 

I am running into a problem here. My keys table has only 11 columns and my values table has 400 columns . 

How do I merge 2 tables on that kind of index?

Hey Ibendlin,

 

I tried your modulu Version and it worked also. I also found this Solution to the Problem. I just had to rename some of the Columns.
