Convert JSON to CSV in/for Azure

Question

I have JSON files from Google Analytics and like to have them in CSV so they can used by Excel or Power BI.

I´ve stored them in Azure Blob Storage and DocumentDB. Is there a possibility to do this transformation in DocumentDB with the Query Explorer or the DocumentDB Data Migration Tool and a stored procedure? Or are there any other suggestions?

Or you could leverage Azure Data Factory to move your JSON files from Blob or DocumentDB to Azure Table Storage, then you could use Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer to manage your table and export your records to CSV as follows:
