When expanded column is not returning expected value rather delimited values of the entire row.

The data source is BigQuery and the expected value on the Sessions table is an integer. Why is it that it is returning what appears to be a delimited values of the entire row?  Appreciate any help. ...

    Hi Anonymous ,

    Currently simliar issue has been sumbited internal.

    As a temporary workaround, try to make the table name and the column name be different to avoid this issue.

That column may not contain valid JSON anymore (after Power BI tried to "help").  Are you able to send some example data?  I assume you are getting a JSON response.  If you paste your query URL in a browser you can copy/paste the JSON into a text file, store that in OneDrive or GoogleDrive and provide a link here.

I went ahead and loaded the table the to model even though in the sample table in PowerQuery is showing a JSON array, lo and behold, it resolves itself and is returning the expected value in the column in the model.

 

Is this a bug that should be reported?
