BLOB Processing

‎10-09-2019 12:35 PM

How do I pull data from a Blob SQL column into PowerBI for processing? 

One of our partners is sending us XML files which we store as a Blob in our tables.

I need to run some reports in PowerBI, but it would be nice to convert the Blob so its in a readable format.

Does the Parser -> XML option not work for you?

 

I haven't used blobs, but assuming you can get it in as text, you can clean it up in Power Bi.
