XML document data in a column

[hokiefan1113]

 I'm working with a transaction log on PBI that only shows the failures, and one column, "FAILEDXML" shows the details of each fail in an XML document format (see below). My goal is to take this data and convert it to a better/neater presentation on Power BI. Is this possible and how would I go about it?

Thank you very much!

Hi @v-piga-msft thanks for your response. I parsed the data and now it looks like this. Any idea of how to extract the data in the "table" link?

Please use below M Code. This has worked for me. Just change the path and rest it will handle;

let
Path = "C:\test\Outstanding Report BI\AutoRefresh\Current\",
Source = Folder.Files(Path),
XMLImport= Xml.Tables(Source{[#"Folder Path"= Path,Name="TALLY.xml"]}[Content],null,1252),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(XMLImport, "Custom", each Table.ToList([Table])),
Transform = #table(#"Added Custom"[Name],List.Zip(#"Added Custom"[Custom]))
in
Transform

Hi @hokiefan1113,

You could click the icon highlight in red and expand the table.

Hi @hokiefan1113,

You could have a try with clicking Parse to xml.

 

If you still need help, could you share a dummy pbix file which can reproduce the scenario, so that we can help further investigate on it? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)
