We recently started pulling data into a table and the output is less than helpful.
Would anyone knows what needs to be done here in order to correct? Or if it's even possible?
Thank you!

If you look at the code in my screenshot, it's just the same ":root". The difference is in the name of the column being referenced.
hi @Tuna357
Seems like you are pulling the html code itself instead of the actual text as you would see in a browser.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wiik1MDBOLgBTqSEZmcUKQAQRLC4pys9Lh8gUJ+YW5KRCxPWRJRQ8Qnx9FEpSK0r0oLJQs1AMdszLL8lILVLIycxLVchPw6ZeKVYnWsnHM8zTz13BPzREwd9NwdnRN8A1SCk2FgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [text = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"text", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Data", each //parse the text from the html only
//will return one or more rows
//combine into a sing text string
Text.Combine(Html.Table([text], {{"Content", ":root"}})[Content], " "))
in
#"Added Custom"
