    Hi dt 

     

    Try this, 

    
// output
let
    Source = name,
    #"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Converted to Table",{{"Value", type text}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Name]), "Name", "Value")
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

Hi dt 

 

Sorry for the late reply.

I've used the JSON sample from your original post and produced a solution in the attached file, please can you ensure that the sample is a true reflection of your scenario, if not, please can you adjust.

Unfortunately, your screenshot does not give enough information to understand the error.

    Yes, this fully reflects my problem.

    Your solution in the attached file not work.

    My PowerBI Desktop Version: 2.73.5586.1241 64-bit (September 2019).

    What information is needed?

      Hi dt 

       

      Please see the below.

      Once converted your sample to a record it will look like below.
      Step 1 - Source // no error as on the attached.

      Step 2 - Convert to table // no error 

      Step 3 // Expanded Value 

       

      Please can you confirm in witch step do you start getting the error message?

      As demonstrated above, all is working fine on my end.

       

      Best Regards,
      Mariusz
