CSV cell character length truncated when importing

Hello

 

I imported a CSV and one column, who's cells can contain 100s of characters seems to be truncated to 200 characters when importing. I checked the CSV and all the data is there, but not in PBI

 

Any Ideas?

 

Thanks

I just realised that I loaded an Excel file and not a CSV. It's working now.

 

Thanks for the link
