Issue when going from a list of record to a table

Hi All,

 

I'm parsing JSON with PowerBI and, at some point, I have a list of records.

 

I can't drill down the list without multiplicating rows, so I wanted to convert them to new columns and found this solution on the forum: 

 

 #"DecisionDetailed" = Table.TransformColumns(<step>, <column> , each Table.Transpose(Table.FromList(List.Transform(_, each Record.Field(_, "value"))))}})

 

I works well when "values" is of type Text, but I happen to also have Booleans there and PowerBI generates an error:

 

"We cannot convert the value false to type Text."

 

Am I doing this right? Can I force PowerBI to return the boolean anyway?

 

Thanks,

 

PC.
