How to import a "File" File Type Into Power BI
Hello,
I received a list of files with data I'd like to clean. It is not under excel. Under file type, it says "File."
This is the first time I've seen it... I am not able to see the file contents, nor do I know what they are. I presume, they are reports.
How do I import it into Power BI, such that it is easily cleaned?

Hiya @BAFreedom,
It sounds like the files you were given had thier file extensions removed. You'll need to try to add a file extension to the end of the file and see what the file type actually is. I would start with .txt or .csv and see if you can open the file with either extension.
