Show actual values in table column

After using a web data source, the values of one column is displayed as [Table], however, when clicking on [Table], the actual value is shown. How can I get the actual value to show up in the main table.

Hi @rinabernardo ,

 

When a column of the imported data source is of table type, to view the specific table content, you can only manually click to expand in Power query, and the table content will not be automatically expanded when importing.
