As you can see in the below screen print, the file is shaped with tags for each data point, somewhat similar XML, but definitely not the same.

You will notice in a JSON file, the tagging which describes the data attribute stays near the values. Step 1 of the process is to start Power BI Desktop.

Alternately, we can enter a URL in the address to pull in the file from the web. In order to appropriately import or use a JSON data file, you will need to link and transform the file using the tools available in the Power BI query editor. As an initial step, you need to review the default structure that Power BI used to import the file.

Often it will be a set of "Record" links that can be drilled down from the top level of the JSON structure. As shown below, you see that the initial dataset imported by Power BI is just Record. You may be thinking However, you will also notice when I hover over the Record value, it is actually a hyper link allowing us to drill down into the file.

Drilling from the top level of the record now shows us the highest level of detail values within the JSON file. Notice, we have the option to Convert this set into a table or we can drill further into the embedded set of records which fall under the Quotes tag. The List link, highlighted below, allows us to drill down into the Quotes detail values.

When I highlight the Quotes row do not click on List link quite yet , we can see the Quotes list contains several Record rows see bottom half of screen. Now go ahead and click on the List link to drill down into those records. So now we drilled into Quotes record and subsequently have a list that just says Record. We now need to convert the rows into a table.

Clicking on the Convert to Table button, we need to define if any delimiters exist and specify how to handle extra columns. Hang with me for just a few more steps.
