Hello, folks!
I faced an issue while importing data from MySQL source - header row isn't displayed correct though the rest of the data is OK.
I did not Use First Row as a Header - column names were imported directly from MySQL header. The encoding is used in MySQL is utf8_general_ci
I didn't find any ways to change the encoding of the header while importing.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Revenant ,
You may try to convert it in your MySQL Table. Hope these links could help:

Or try functions to specifies the text encoding type.
