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