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.

Thanks for your reply @v-yulgu-msft
Is there another custom function that i can use to convert the hex to a string format?
Hi @gargra,
What do you mean convert Hex to string? Can you show us some examples?
