sharepoint list as table

Hi I have linked a sharepoint online list with powerBI, some of the columns have actual values ie int,text, where as some of the columns have table as values. However on trying to expand and choose a field it says no columns found. And if i try to clock on it it says internal server error.  Any advice will be of great help.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi @V24 ,

Try adding a step to expand it with m code

= Table.ExpandRecordColumn(PrevStepsName, "FieldValuesForEdit", {"Title"}, {"ExpandedColumns"})

 Table.ExpandRecordColumn - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Learn

Do you need the data from those columns ?  These are lookup columns they are very expensive, and you can expand a maximum of six.  Better to not have these.   If they are person/group columns then you need to also import the User Information List.
