expanding record column

Hi

 

We have a Sharepoint Helpdesk and I need to create a Report to Show the SLA's for our Business Units.

The Business Unit is displayd as Record and i would like to expand the record to get the Title column and Customer Group Column.

 

Expand Column Loading.JPGWhen i Click on the button to Expand the Column, it just keeps Loading. (See Image attached)

 

I have tried Using advanced Editor to expand the Column but dont have any success. The code i am using is #"BusinessUnit" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"BusinessUnit", {"Title", "CustomerGroup"}, {"BusinessUnit.Title", "BusinessUnit.CustomerGroup"})

 

Can anyone please assist as i need to have these to Columns (Title and CustomerGroup) in the same table as all the other columns

Can you click the highlighted "record" in that column to see what's inside? By the way, what is the data source in your case?

Hi, i am using sharepoint online as the data source. the columns inside the record that i want is Highlighted in yellowRecord details.JPG

I'm not familar with Sharepoint, what exact is that in sharepoint, a list or whatever? I'd like to try reproduce your issue if I could get more details.

 

By the way, could you try to filter your orginal dataset to have only one rows and then try to expand. I doubt it is some performance issue.

The Customer Column is a Lookup to a List where all the Customers and Customer Groups are ListedLookup Column.JPGCustomer List.JPG

If i Take Customer/Business Units and add it as a new Query and convert it to a table, then i am able to Expand the Record. The Only problem is between the 2 Tables, none of the information is the same to create a relationship. that is why i would like to expand the column in the current table it is in.
