  1. AX says:

    Great guide! You mentioned that "Power Query in Excel offers a quick, easy and straightforward way to convert JSON to Excel." This is very true for simple structures. For those dealing with deeply nested JSON that Power Query struggles with, I've found a few tips helpful: 1) Flatten the JSON structure before importing if possible, 2) Use Python for more complex transformations as you suggested.
