[CLOSED] Consuming Multi-Line Text in Master File

I have created a Master File against a SharePoint list and I am struggling to consume the multi-line fields that are Rich Text.

If I set the usage and actual to Alphanumeric I get the right text to pull over but it creates merged cells in Excel.

If I leave it as a TX I get one cell for the text but it includes all the stylizing mark ups.

Suggestions?

Thank you for providing these resources. It appears that most of these are related to issues in getting the data.

My issue is that I am not getting the data in the proper format. I think it is because the field is rich text in SharePoint.

I am hoping to find a way to either strip out the Rich Text coding(i.e.
,&npsb, etc) or find a way to put them all in one cell instead of multiple cells creating merged cells for the other data pieces.

Thanks!
