I have this dataflow that pulls from a Snowflake destination:
As you can see in the screenshot, a few of the columns are of "record" type. Fabric doesnt seem to like these formats and automatically deletes them sometimes by adding code that looks like this:
Table.RemoveColumns(#"From Value", Table.ColumnsOfType(#"From Value", {type table, type record, type list, type nullable binary, type binary, type function}))
Makes sense, as best as I can understand it the data needs to be flat, almost csv like.
So the way I understand it, I need to expand out those records, maybe in their own table. So I copied that query and selected just two columns:
When I tell Fabric to expand that contact identifier column and grab every column inside of it:
it doesn't "really" expand everything. Here's what I mean, here's whats visible immediately after that:
That "step is not supported by fast copy" and still wont be able to save into a Lakehouse. What do I do?
Solved! Go to Solution.
filter out all null value, then expand the record column again.
looks like this might be a record inside a record. See if you can grab "value" instead.
Silly question, how?
filter out all null value, then expand the record column again.
