Power BI not loading the data in certain tables
You would have to modify the CSVDecode step.
But - all of these steps could be part of the Power Query ETL process if you want. You can use things like
try ... otherwise ...
to ingest the raw CSV either with commas or with tabs and then you can delete/discard the columns with the PII.
Super UserAssuming your data source is Excel files on the sharepoint - are you connecting to Excel sheets, or to named tables?
I'm connecting to a Sharepoint folder that has all the csv files it feeds from. Please see the source settings below:
Then I filter based on the file name:
Then I exctract those files and expand them to see all the rows in them:
That's the data I use to load my report, but as of July this year, it started loading the tables with null values and I don't know why. When I check the files in Sharepoint, the data is there, the problem is in the Power BI.
Thank you for your help.

Please do not sort the table in Power Query - that is a very expensive operation that likely has no benefit (Power BI is ignoring the Power Query sort order).
Can you you isolate the CSV file that causes the issue or do you only see nulls across all files?
Ohh no. I sorted it just to see if the latest tables were being included correctly because it takes ages to scroll down to see the bottom, but then I removed the step. I know the issue is happening with all the files after July 16th this year. Everything before that loads properly.

when you visually inspect these CSV files do you see a difference?
