Zendesk custom ticket fields missing
- 8 years ago
Found a work-around for this issue.
It might not be the best solution, but it works for smaller databases.
1) Get data -> make sure to get the "Tickets" table
2) Edit query
3) Duplicate the "Tickets" table (right-mouse -> duplicate)
4) Remove all columns except "Ticket ID" and "Custom fields"
5) Press the arrows of the "Custom fields" column -> "Expand to new rows"
6) Press the arrows of the same column -> Select both "ID" and "Value" and press ok.
7) Change the type of the "Custom_fields.ID" into a whole number and the "Custom_fields.Value" field into a string.
8) Highlight "Custom_fields.ID" -> go to "Transform" tab -> "Pivot Column"
9) Make sure to select "Custom_fields.Value" AND press the (almost hidden) advanced tab in the window, select: don't aggregate
10) You can now change the titles of the custom fields ID so it is easier to work with.
11) Close and save the query editor
That's it. You now have a table which you can link to your ticket IDs in the "Relationships" window. Good luck!
Timmofo,
It doesn't support Zendesk custom fields in Power BI, there is an idea about this issue, please vote it up.

Hello Lydia,
Thank you for your response.
It seems that this issue has been reported 2 years ago, is there a reason why this crucial functionality has not been implemented yet?
Kind regards,
Tim
