connect email column to powerbi.

[mathician]

So i have Jira subscription email that im getting about once a week. I wanted to connect the email to powerbi and that works fine.

But when i connect it to powerbi the whole table becomes one html column. I can change it to text, but the same problem is the same for html and text. How do i seprate the data so that it becomes multible columns just like i can see it on the picture below.

This is how it looks like now on powerbi.

Hi @mathician ,

How about the result after you follow the suggestions mentioned in my original post?Could you please provide more details about it If it doesn't meet your requirement?

Best regards,

sorry for the time used. I tried the code you gave me and it did not work.

Issue for it was that the column has 2 select all column inside it:

the first being a  txtBody and the other being a htmlBody. For some reason when i tried the code you gave me on the htmlbody, it does not have work, since there is not html table inside the htmlbody(Even tho you can see it on the first picture.)

Hi @mathician ,

Does the text body contain the body of email? Have you tried to get the data you need directly from Jira instead of convert table from emails?

Hi @mathician ,

First of all, we suggest you to delete the second picture if it contain any confidential information.

We can try to use the Html.Table function to get the Table in custom column than contain table in html and then expand the new column to meet your requirement.

NewColumn = Table.AddColumn(PreviousStepName,"Table",each Html.Table([HtmlContent]))
