CSV import issue

Hi,

I am trying to import a csv file which got wrap text in some rows/fields. Once data is imported it's showing error values in corresponding cells and creating an extra row with null values. How can I import wrap text cell properly into power bi table.

Thank you!

Hi @hmbi ,

Please try to  wrap newline text in double quotes.

no, its not enclosed in double quotes. I wasn't also aware of wrap text intially. After seeing the error on powerBI, I did check the file manually. What do you mean by charater set, is it File Origin? Which file orgin supports wrap text?

@hmbi , is the text enclosed in double quote? Then this should not create a problem.

 

Also, check the character set while importing. You have option on left top of import bix, when data sample is displyed
