Microsoft Access database nested tables

$

Hi all,

 

I have been working with power BI for a week now. I do have experience with Qlik Sense and the advanced modeling of Qlik Sense.

 

When I import a table from demo database from Access into Power BI it sometimes shows "nested" tables which are not present in the original source. I am using a Northwind demo file.

 

Unfortunatly I have not been able to find extensive information as to how Access databases are being treated. Could somebody explain as to why, when and what the benefits are of this feature. In addition, is it possible to turn this feature of?

As far as I can see it makes merging different tables easier.

 

In the attached screenshot this phenomenon shows in the last colomns, those with either "Value" or "Table" in yellow. I am aware that I can click through and add the information by using the arrows in the header.
