convert json data into a table

Hi,

I imported a json file and a table appeared with rowcount=394, columns=List, and data=Record ("Initial screen" image below).

The "Columns" screen capture shows the result for when I clicked on "List".

The "Data" screen capture shows the result for when I clicked "Record".

How do I convert this data into a table?

Hi @cubedweller

 

Right-click a few places in the Power Query data viewer (column header/record cell) and you may see the "Into Table" option in the menu that pops up.  Or check for a "Convert" table in your ribbon

OK, I clicked "Into Table" on the Convert tab (see screen capture below).

The screen capture below that one ("Records") shows the outcome when I click on "Records".

How should I proceed?
