    Cool PQ - UnZip an use Content in Power Query

    UnZip an use Content in Power Query

    it works for local files but not from web/url (at least I failed)

    Code:
    (ZIPFile) => 
    let
        Header = BinaryFormat.Record([
            MiscHeader = BinaryFormat.Binary(14),
            BinarySize = BinaryFormat.ByteOrder(BinaryFormat.UnsignedInteger32, ByteOrder.LittleEndian),
            FileSize   = BinaryFormat.ByteOrder(BinaryFormat.UnsignedInteger32, ByteOrder.LittleEndian),
            FileNameLen= BinaryFormat.ByteOrder(BinaryFormat.UnsignedInteger16, ByteOrder.LittleEndian),
            ExtrasLen  = BinaryFormat.ByteOrder(BinaryFormat.UnsignedInteger16, ByteOrder.LittleEndian)    
        ]),
    
        HeaderChoice = BinaryFormat.Choice(
            BinaryFormat.ByteOrder(BinaryFormat.UnsignedInteger32, ByteOrder.LittleEndian),
            each if _ <> 67324752             // not the IsValid number? then return a dummy formatter
                then BinaryFormat.Record([IsValid = false, Filename=null, Content=null])
                else BinaryFormat.Choice(
                        BinaryFormat.Binary(26),      // Header payload - 14+4+4+2+2
                        each BinaryFormat.Record([
                            IsValid  = true,
                            Filename = BinaryFormat.Text(Header(_)[FileNameLen]), 
                            Extras   = BinaryFormat.Text(Header(_)[ExtrasLen]), 
                            Content  = BinaryFormat.Transform(
                                BinaryFormat.Binary(Header(_)[BinarySize]),
                                (x) => try Binary.Buffer(Binary.Decompress(x, Compression.Deflate)) otherwise null
                            )
                            ]),
                            type binary                   // enable streaming
                    )
        ),
    
        ZipFormat = BinaryFormat.List(HeaderChoice, each _[IsValid] = true),
    
        Entries = List.Transform(
            List.RemoveLastN( ZipFormat(ZIPFile), 1),
            (e) => [FileName = e[Filename], Content = e[Content] ]
        )
    in
        Table.FromRecords(Entries)
    create function from code above, rename to UnzipContents

    then create Query with code:

    Code:
    let
        Source = File.Contents("full path to your zip file"),
        Files = UnzipContents(Source)
    in
        Files
    use gear on the right side of Source step to choose a zip file
