Help with parsing fields from an embedded table in an email
Hello PowerBi Team,
I would like to do the following:
1) Upload a particular folder from a "shared mailbox" to PowerBI (yes, I can)
This folder will conttiune to receive emails with similar table structure as part of the email "Body"
2) Parse the fields in the embedded table in the "Body" of the email and create reports. (Unsuccessful).
I need help in parsing the table variables/fields:
Sample email: (I would like to parse the table and pull the values of ID, Name and Group.

Hello Anonymous
access the html-body of your mail with this reference [Body][HtmlBody]
This give you the html-code of your mail. Use Html.Table to read the html-code.
This code for example gives you all table-cells
Html.Table(HtmlBody,{{"AllCells", "td"}})this all rows
Html.Table(HtmlBody,{{"AllRows", "tr"}})
