Importing CSV

‎03-26-2019 01:36 AM

Hi Power BI community

 

I'm trying to import a csv and instead of showing the records it's showing the file instead.

 

Does anyone know how to get around this? Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous, 

 

Please click on Advanced Editor, check your Power Query, ensure you are using Csv.Document() function outside of the File.Contents() function.

You can also follow this document to get data from CSV in Power BI desktop:
