Hi,
I have a power automate which get email contents but the contents are all in single row or cell. Does anyone knows how to my desire output? I have attached the pbi file in this link

Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can split by line feed, remove excess spaces, split by space, promote headers, and cleanup.

I should say Your data is hard for ME to see but I'm not wearing my glasses.
It's hard to see your data, but it's a familiar setup. To get yourself going, split by delimiter using Special Characters, and use #(CR) and #(LF) (carriage return and line feeds.
