Hi @Nick_2510 ,
If there are some null values in the dataset, it will generate an error when trying to parse. You can try to replace the empty value with the empty structure "<div></div>", then it will parse and return the empty value correctly

Thank you for the nice challenge. Here is one possible approach.
let
Source = "{ ""fields"":
[""name_table1"", ""name_table2"", ""name_table3""],
""data"": [
[""d1"",""d1"",""d1""],
[""d2"", ""d2"", ""d2""]
]
}",
#"Parsed JSON" = Json.Document(Source),
data = #"Parsed JSON"[data],
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(data, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Converted to Table", {"Column1", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), "|"), type text}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Extracted Values", "Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("|", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Column1.1", "Column1.2", "Column1.3"}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Column1.1", type text}, {"Column1.2", type text}, {"Column1.3", type text}}),
Ren = List.Zip({Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type"),#"Parsed JSON"[fields]}),
Res = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",Ren)

Hi,
