Importing using the Power Bi Connector
I'm starting to use Smartsheet and wanting to bring the data into Power Bi to present along with other data.
But I have an issue and can't believe no one else has come across it so assume I'm doing something wrong.
All looks good in SS, hierarchy is expandable etc.
But when I bring the data into pBi, the data is the same but no means on picking out the hierarchy - its just one big table
Is this normal? Correct?
would appreciate any input on this.
Thanks.

Hi Jamie,
From a quick test you appear to be correct. Power BI looks to only pull Smartsheet data in as a flat table. This integration was built by Microsoft, so I would suggest reaching out to their Support / Community channels to see if some other setting change may be available to change this behavior.
You can read a bit more about this at our page here: https://www.smartsheet.com/marketplace/apps/microsoft-power-bi
Hope that's at least somewhat helpful.
Best,
Nathan L.
