Converting from Hex value to UTF8

Hi all,

 

I am currently using the Power BI Desktop version, and trying to convert a column that contains values in Hex format to a simple string (UTF8). Is there a common easily available function that I could use to make this work.

 

Thanks,

Rahul

Hi @gargra,

 

There is no direct function that can convert Hex value to decimal format. Please refer to below links to create custom function.
