Show Choice Label in Power Query (rather than Choice Value)

Hello, 

 

I am new to Power BI and am transforming the queries from Dynamics. The Choice columns (aka Picklist) show as the choice value, but i need the Label. How do I transform the value to the label (638460003 > WKSHP for Retirement)?

 

See screen shots below from Power App & Power BI

Hi @wlcasale

You can create another table that holds the Values and Labels

Then do a Merge Queries as new (in the Ribbon Home tab) on that table and your main data table

After expanding the Tables in the resulting column, you should get something like this
