Rich text/HTML formatting in PowerBI table

[Anonymous]

Hi all, 

I currently have an important that comes with HTML mark-up due to how it is input into a database; so lots of <p> and <b> and a huge chunk of text that is generally unreadable. 

Is there a way to either:

• Strip out all HTML mark-up
• Apply the HTML formatting as a part of the table (this would be a preference)

I can alter the data via an excel export (as it's not a 'live' report), but not the direct source.

Thanks!

Another method that worked for me in SharePoint lists is to use the FieldValuesAsText field, as detailed here.

First, you can remove the column(s) containing HTML.  Then, scroll right and select the expander icon for the “FieldValuesAsText” column. The "FieldValuesAsText" column appeared for me in the Navigation step.  Then deselect all available fields except your target column(s). In addition, deselect the “Use original column name as prefix” option.

Apparently, the Real Answer is NO - Power BI is incapable of rendering HTML. How ridiculous. I work in a real company and can't use unsupported, user-made objects to make up for PBIs lameness.

Hi thanks this worked for me. However the html format had bullet points hence, every new sentence was on new line. Is there any way I can maintain this (Html.Table([HMTLField] , {{"text",":root"}}) structure after this step?
