Hi,
Can anyone help with the following Power Query code:
I need to extract all "full names" from a string.
Looks like this:
| Input: |
| Column [Name] |
| [{"fullname":"Margit Martens","internalemailaddress":"Margit.Martens@gmail"},{"fullname":"Joey Samuelsen","internalemailaddress":"Joey.Samuelsen@gmail.com"}] |
Output: |
| Margit Martens, Joey Samuelsen |
Have tried with the standard Power Query functions with no luck
Hope someone have some nice solution for this task
Solved! Go to Solution.
=Table.TransformColumns(PreviousStepName,{"Name",each Text.Combine(List.Transform(Json.Document(_),each [fullname]?),",")})
=Table.TransformColumns(PreviousStepName,{"Name",each Text.Combine(List.Transform(Json.Document(_),each [fullname]?),",")})
@Greg_Deckler Thank's for your answer. Will test it tommorow and let you know if the provided solution worked for me
@Siboska Try:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wiq6OUUorzcnJS8xNjVGyilHyTSxKzyxRAFIlqXnFMUo6MUqZeSWpRXmJOam5iZk5iSkpRanFxUhq9aBqHdJB8jFKtTroZnrlp1YqBCfmlqbmFKfm4TcTpFYPrhZipl5yfi7Q3Fil2FgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}}),
#"Parsed JSON" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{},Json.Document),
#"Expanded Name" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Parsed JSON", "Name"),
#"Expanded Name1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Name", "Name", {"fullname"}, {"Name.fullname"}),
#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Expanded Name1"),
#"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(#"Transposed Table",{"Column1", "Column2"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged")
in
#"Merged Columns"
