Table.ExpandListColumn

Given a column of lists in a table, create a copy of a row for each value in its list.

Syntax​

Table.ExpandListColumn(
    table as table,
    column as text
) as table

Remarks​

Given a table, where a column is a list of values, splits the list into a row for each value. Values in the other columns are duplicated in each new row created.

Examples​

Example #1​

Split the list column [Name] in the table.

Table.ExpandListColumn(
    Table.FromRecords({[Name = {"Bob", "Jim", "Paul"}, Discount = .15]}),
    "Name"
)

Result:

Table.FromRecords({
    [Name = "Bob", Discount = 0.15],
    [Name = "Jim", Discount = 0.15],
    [Name = "Paul", Discount = 0.15]
})
