Simply add a custom column in Power Query :

Html.Table([Column1], {{"ExtractedText",":root"}})

The HTML.Table function you are trying to use does not exist in DAX. Power BI does not have built-in DAX functions to parse or handle HTML content.

Can you provide the expected result so we can help you ?
