Lost columns on expanding JSON

Hi

Please view the two screen-shots below.

I am trying to keep the column shown in the top screen but lose it when I convert to table.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks, Mark.Picture1.jpg

You need to edit the query "Download" with a reference to your local drive

 

You just have to decide whether to join the tables in the query-editor, which would create one big monster-table, or create a data model, which would be the more professional approach.

Hi @sunildatalytyx ,

if the fields are not included in the first 1000 items of the expanded content, then they will not show up.

In that case you have to add them to the M-code manually.

Imagine the automatic expansion had just found "PRN", then you'd add SNR like shown below:

Simply add them to the list with commas as separators.

Thank you Imke, thank you for the response, appreciate it. I've realised over time the below response and added the fields manually. Thanks

I'm away from my computer at the moment (in Sydney, Australia).
I'll check that out as soon as I get home.
Many thanks indeed. I know I'll get this working - all thanks to your help.
Best regards, Mark.

All of them please. I intend to create visualizers that show horse speeds and locations relative to one another over time. I hope that makes sense. Thanks.
