Sharepoint list format change

Hi there,

 

I am reading a list from sharepoint. When I read the list, some of the fields did not come up with the same format as it was on sharepoint. For example, I attached snapshot of the column from sharepoint

However, when I imported into Power Bi, it looks as follow:

Does anyone know why is it happening and how to fix it?

Hi @Dunner2020 ,

 

You may try to use

Html.Table([This column],{{"PlainText",":root"}} )

to convert data from HTML to Plain Text.

Hi @Dunner2020 ,

 

This is not a display format issue in Power BI.

If you increase the width of the column it should display the information in a single line.

 

Thanks,
