    Hi AshleyWells 

     

    Please add a custom column with this. Notice that there is a pair of {} around [ColumnData]. 

    = Table.AddColumn(PreviousStep, "Custom", each #table([ColumnNames],{[ColumnData]}))

    Then expand the custom table column.

Hi m_dekorte 

 

I have to be carefull with this data as it's sensitive

Both [ColumnData] and [ColumnNames] should hold the same amount of data in each list.

In the bottom 2 rows of the [ColumnData] there is nested data but I don't need this extracting.

 

Thanks so much for your help so far
