    Johan,

     

     When connecting to a data srouce in Power BI Desktop, data type will be changed in Power Query automatically based on your data. If this data type is not what you want, you could change the data type in Power Query and check if this issue persists or not.

    let
    Source = DataLake.Contents("adl://tenant.azuredatalakestore.net/Folder/File.csv"),
    Navigation1 = Source{0}[Content],
    #"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(Navigation1,[Delimiter=":", Columns=19, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Imported CSV",{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", Int64.Type})
    in
    #"Changed Type"

    Regards,
