Hi I tried to do the tutorial but I meet an issue with the folowing query which intend to split text to 5 columns.
= let
Source = Csv.Document(File.Contents("C:\Users\GD\Documents\POWER BI\Analyze CSV file\postprn\postprn.prn"),[Delimiter=":", Columns=2, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
#"Type modifié" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}}),
#"Colonnes supprimées" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Type modifié",{"Column2"}),
#”Fractionner la colonne par position” = Table.SplitColumn(Source,”Column1″,Splitter.SplitTextByPositions({0, 13, 32, 60, 74}, false),{“Account“, “Description”, “Language”, “Debit”, “Credit”}),
#"Type modifié1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Fractionner la colonne par position",{{"Column1.1", type text}, {"Column1.2", type text}})
in
#"Type modifié1"
I get the error:
Expression.SyntaxError : Jeton Identifier attendu. (Token identifier waited?)
What did I miss?
Thanks for your help
@GD61 at a glance, you are using the wrong quote character (needs to be the ascii ")
Hello,
I changed the quotes one by one, and that works.
How can I get the good quotes with my French version? What are there ASCII code?
Thanks
