Use Table

Schema:
Field(name: "Name", datatype: String),
Field(name: "Age", datatype: Float),
Field(name: "Phone", datatype: List(

Beispiel: Excel
LOAD
"Item Number",
"Product Group",
"Product Line",
"Product Sub Group",
"Product Type"
FROM [lib://AttachedFiles/Item master.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Item master]);
Beispiel: XML
LOAD
city%Table,
%Key_row_7FAC1F878EC01ECB
FROM [lib://AttachedFiles/cities.xml]
(XmlSimple, table is [root/row/country/city]);
Beispiel: Parquet
The file company.parquet contains the following schema:
company (String)
contact (String)
company:salesrep (List)
salesrep (Group)
salesrep (String)
company:headquarter (List)
headquarter (Group)
country (String)
city (String)
city:region (List)
region (Group)
region (String)
The following would load the contents from the file into tables. The first load statement loads the root group. The second load statement loads the contents of the salesrep group as a table. The third loads the headquarter group as a table. The fourth loads the region group in as a table.
LOAD * FROM […] (parquet);
LOAD * FROM […] (parquet, table is [company:salesrep.salesrep]);
LOAD * FROM […] (parquet, table is [company:headquarter.headquarter]
LOAD * FROM […] (parquet, table is [company:headquarter.headquarter.city:region.region]
Beschränkungen:

is specifier is only relevant for Excel, XML, or Parquet
files.
