Json to excel using power query

First I would use the List Tools / Transform menu (it should be automatically selected) and click the To Table button. This will give you a single-column table with 2 rows. Then I would click the small Expand button – it will appear in the column headings, just to the right of “Column1”. Uncheck the Use original column name … option and you will get a table of 4 columns and 2 rows.

Here’s the full script I generated:

let
    Source = Json.Document(File.Contents("C:\Users\Mike.Honey\Downloads\json2.json")),
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Expanded Column2" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"id", "visitors", "some_number", "value"}, {"id", "visitors", "some_number", "value"})
in
    #"Expanded Column2"
