How to use the Html.Table function to add a column that converts a HTML column into plain text

Hello,

I have a column with HTML :

pruvieros_0-1668459875014.png

And I need to add a column that converts this Column1.1 into plain text.

Is it possible to do that with the function Html.Table?

And How?

Thanks in advance

Hi @pruvieros ,

 

Yes, please try

 

Html.Table([Column1.1] , {{"text",":root"}})

 

You can also deal with error by usng try ... otherwise like so

 

try Html.Table([Column1.1] , {{"text",":root"}}) otherwise null

 

So if you encounter an error at this point, Power Query will just return null and the query won't stop at this step.
