Hi @JohnBlue1 ,

You said that your table has two columns. Sorry, from your example I can’t see how the two columns are.

Please describe in detail how the two columns are and what the expected result is.

Hi @JohnBlue1 

How is the data coming in? Text, binary? you said a table with 2 columns?

HTML part you can use Web.Page, one sample coming in as text, you can take from here

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("jZBRCsIwEESvsvQCrXiCUin40RO0/Vg3qwaTjWySDz29YFCkUvRv3zLDDDOOlbPCsJlkkqtaj3qD/a7wlJtmSwkPjp8nv1+6YFO4dUdlE6HPKbFebEzFSPVLsXQMqBahFcMaV6T1V9pKeseSNAAFz0oWHQyBEt+zxx8lekUhGylAd0Y5/duj/limmucH", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Web.Page([Column1])),
    Custom = Table.SelectRows( #"Added Custom"{0}[Custom], each [Source]="Table")[Data]{0},
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Custom,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}})
in
    #"Changed Type"
