Firstly I've put it in an array delimited by a pipe.

Does anyone have any pointers as what to do next? Using JSON doesnt look straight forward.

 

Thanks

S

    This is a Power Automate Desktop forum, but the ability to do this answer should still exist in Power Automate.

     

    Write your array to Excel, select it, then send keys Control + Alt + V (for Paste Special), then E (for transpose).  Read the new result from Excel, and you will have a transposed array.
