Cyrylic display issue

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.

Hi @Revenant ,

 

You may try to convert it in your MySQL Table. Hope these links could help:

How to convert a MySQL database to UTF-8

MySQL: Converting an incorrect latin1 column to utf8 | NicJ.net

Mysql: Convert encoding to UTF8 without garbled data (Example)

 

Or try functions to specifies the text encoding type.
