Hi Anonymous ,

 

Sorry for that the information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me.

Do you want to keep on expanding Table values ? Or just filter out Table values?

 

Refer to:

Power Query XML connector - Power Query | Microsoft Docs:

Due to the fact that many XML documents have ragged or nested data, you may have to do extra data shaping to get it in the sort of form that will make it convenient to do analytics. This holds true whether you use the UI accessible Xml.Tables function, or the Xml.Document function. Depending on your needs, you may find you have to do more or less data shaping.

 

 

Best Regards,
