Power Query Populating SharePoint List Data as "[List]"

Greetings,

Any recommendations on how to work around this would be very helpful.

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi @OpsData93 ,

You can try to click the expand button for the list column to expand the list to row values in Power Query editor:

You may be using the SharePoint.Contents  connector rather than the SharePoint.Tables connector.  Can you post a sanitized version of your Power Query code?
