split into rows

My query connected to a .txt file, which has the following line:

 

 

elections_to_vest_changes = {'119WEST BUFFALO': '119000210WEST BUFFALO', '119UNION': '119000200UNION', '119NEW BERLIN': '119000190NEW BERLIN'}

 

The single quotation marks enclose text.  The colon is a delimiter for a column.  The comma is a delimiter for a row.

 

(I've shortened this line for readability.)  How can I split this line by delimiter into rows?  Thanks.

Save your text in a json file, transforming '(single quote) into "(double quote) and use the following script to transform it into a table with two columns and many rows

 

 

let
    Source = Json.Document(File.Contents("C:\Users\sprmn\OneDrive\Documents\Power BI Desktop\test.json")),
    tfc=Table.FromColumns({Record.FieldNames(Source{0}),Record.FieldValues(Source{0})})
in
    tfc
