How to Replace Column Values with Null in JSON and Export to CSV using PowerShell

Handling JSON files can sometimes be challenging, particularly when you want to manipulate data and export it in a different format like CSV. In this guide, we will address a common problem: how to replace values in a specific column of a JSON file with null and then convert the entire JSON structure into a CSV file using PowerShell.

The Problem

Suppose you have a JSON file that contains various fields, including a column called "Remark" that you wish to replace with null values. Your JSON structure may look like this:

Here’s what's happening:

We determine the number of items to process for each row.

We create a new hashtable and fill it with values, ensuring we set "Remark" to null.

Step 3: Output to Screen and CSV

You can then output the processed data to the console for verification and save it to a CSV file.
