Converting Binary datas
Hi, I 'm going to convert binary datas from the querie shown below: Can you please help me doing it? Thank you in advance, Marcello
Hi Marcex1,
Which type of files you stored in these column with binary types?
If they are particular file type(e.g. excel, xml, csv...), you can try to add a custom column to use specific connectors to get these file contents.
For example:
Use excel connector to get data from binary workbooks:
Load images, and other Binary-typed data, into the Data Model

Hello Anonymous,
thank you for your reply . I would like to convert it directly inside powerBI and not using a connector , it is possible?

Hi Marcex1,
Maybe you can try to convert them to text, it is hard to decode binary data without clearly file type and connector.
