Encoding changing when importing a DataFlow to Power BI Desktop

‎02-09-2023 04:52 AM

Hi! I have a Data Flow in my Workspace with special characters in one column.

2023-02-09 09_42_18-Power BI.png

The source encoding is windows 1252.

But when I import it to Power BI Desktop to create a dashboard, the encoding changes, maybe to UTF-8.

I can't figure out when that is happening. Is there an option to set the import encoding to 1252 so I don't lose data?

Thanks
