Transform hierarchy JSON to flat Excel

[Anonymous]

Hello community,

I have the following JSON structure:

https://pastebin.com/G1aNR0eE

It is hierarchy structure which I want to convert to a flat structure in Excel.

The final structure should be like this:

I found this thread: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Multi-Dimensional-Json-file-to-Table/td...

I followed the solution @v-yuezhe-msft  mentioned there until the step 4. Where I do not know how to map/link the higher level of the JSON file.

Can you please help me to understand how can I link different levels of the JSON hierarchy and export it to the Excel file?

Thank you

Ondrej

Hello @v-cherch-msft ,

Thank you for your post. I decided to move the data to the database as it is more natural to me. Then I was able to create the following table:

But I would like to have lit like this:

Can you please advice how to do that? All the guides I found finished with a full table with all values in place, but I need all values there just once and in this hierarchical structure. And even better... Would be possible to indent each level like this?

I found e.g.:

- https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Adding-indentation-and-hierarchy-to-a-list-of-project-tasks...

- https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/show-grand-totals-top-bottom-of-matrix/m-p/408946#M187480

But it is done for just one column (and inside) and not for a set of columns.

I have another idea... I can concatenate data from each table to one column:

But In this case, I need it with the intent...

Can you please advise which way would be better?

Thank you

Ondrej

Hi @Anonymous 

You may try to create a matrix visual.Then you may use 'Expend' feature to achieve that.
