How to retrieve texts from Html SharePoint List source in Power BI
Recently I have been put in to a scenario where I need data from SharePoint list to be published into Power BI Report. The columns used in SharePoint list where of type Multi Line Text and contained HTML tags. Up here I am going to show how to consume HTML in Power BI reports, Power BI itself offers way to clean your HTML text allowing you to use only text from it. Step 1: Connect to SharePoint List using PowerBI Step 2: Select Transform Data Step 3: Find column FieldValueAsHtml, click to expand and select the column with Html data and click ok. This will extract the column data and create a new column with only texts extracted from Html. This new column will be called FieldValueAsHtml.YourColName. Enjoy.
