Hi all,

{"v":[{"v":{"f":[{"v":"en"},{"v":" Sales are high this week"}]}},{"v":{"f":[{"v":"it"},{"v":sales are at peak range""}]}}]}

I need to extract Sales are high this week from above json format

Please help!

Hi @Anonymous,

Here is the expanded table from the sample JSON string with custom query steps, you can try it if suitable for your requirement.

Full query:

let
    Source = Json.Document(File.Contents("C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop\test.json")),
    #"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source),
    #"Expanded Value" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Value"),
    #"Expanded Value1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Value", "Value", {"v"}, {"v"}),
    #"Expanded v" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Value1", "v", {"f"}, {"v.f"}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Expanded v", {"Name"}, "Node", "Value"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Custom", each Table.Transpose(Table.FromList(List.Transform([Value],each Record.Field(_,"v"))))),
    #"Expanded Expand" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", {"Column1", "Column2"}, {"Group", "Sales"}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Expand",{"Value"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"
