    Can you show an example? Are you saying your sql script pulls the information correctly but Power BI is grouping it up somehow, or do you need assistance parsing out a field?

    there is no way to change this behavior right now, hopefully a more robust support for the end of line characters will come soon.

      I thought this would be the case as when formatting it excel powerview took a fair amount of working around it. So this is what it should look like.
