Remove nested tables on import from Business Central 365

Hi,

 

I'm having an issue importing data from Business Central into Power BI. I believe there is an error on a nested table, but I do not know the query language well enough to resolve this issue.

 

I cannot preview my Sales table due to the error. I performed a Table.Schema(sales_table) query to find the following information:

The specific fields and lines it is referring to above, relates to the nested tables inside my parent table.

Above are the three tables nested inside my "Sales" table , that I would like to ideally remove or at least resolve. 

 

Please could someone help with this?

 

Many thanks,

Christine

Do you need the information from these nested table columns? Could you exclude them in your original query?

Hi, 

 

Thank you for replying. I do not need the information from these nested table columns.

 

However, by default they are included when I try to import the table.

 

Could you give an example query of how to exclude these tables when importing the parent table?

 

Many thanks,
