How to parse a json column in Power BI

Question

I want to parse a .json column through Power BI. I have imported the data directly from the server and have a .json column in the data along with other columns. Is there a way to parse this json column?

Answer 1

Use Json.Document function like this

let
    ...
    your_table=imported_the_data_directly_from_the_server,
    json=Table.AddColumn(your_table, "NewColName", each Json.Document([JsonResult]))
in
    json

And then expand the record to the table using Table.ExpandRecordColumn
