SharePoint List - Assigned to Filed No Data

Hi all,

 

I imported a list from an online Sharepoint list but one of the columns is giving me no data

 

It gives me a [List] field instead of the data as shown below

 

 

Thank you all,

    You'd normally expect to see a double headed arrow at the top of the column containing the Lists but as the last row is blank that's not appearing.

    You'll need to remove that blank to be able to use the expand icon in the column header.

     

    Or you can insert a line of M code in the query to extract the values from the lists, for example

    = Table.TransformColumns(#"Removed Columns", {"Assigned To", each if _ is list then Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From),",") else null, type text})

    regards

    Please @ mention me or I won't see your reply.  Type @ then select my name.

     

    Your data doesn't show a null it shows a blank or empty value or a space.

    When you tried to rmeove it the row remained?

    Have you tried the code I listed above to extract the lists?

    Please supply your PBIX so I can help further.

    Regards
