Hi All,
Im trying to get data from PDF. When I load data from PDF to power query it shows me some data but it does not make sense.
Anyone knows the reson for that.
Thank you.
@AUDISU , DO you have a single table of multiple tables?
Check the steps, you might have modified a few steps in power query . Like if it shows multiple tables, then filter a table and expand
If this does not help
Can you share sample data?
I filtered a table and expanded, but still have same issue.
I opend this PDF in Word app and it shows me the same issue.
Thak you
Hi @AUDISU ,
How did you connect to PDF in Power BI Desktop? Could you please share the PDF file(or some screenshot for pdf file) and the applied codes of the related queries in Advanced Editor? Thank you.
And you can refer the following links to connect to PDF in Power BI Desktop:
