Can a good soul explain to me why is this happening?? there are other problems when the accentuation is "Á" for example. All the columns are in the right locale (portuguese brazil).

Hi @bolabuga ,

 

What is your data source? What is the accentuation in data source? I think if the accentuation is "F_ORF?O", then it will show "F_ORF?O" in Power BI.

Thks for the reply. I need to talk to the admin of the data source (which is Odbc.DataSource("dsn=), because this problem is happening in power bi and access.

 

I did a test similar to the one you showed, and the data is OK, when linked to a xlsx local file.

Edit: The data source is with the wrong accentuantion, i just got a reply from the data base admin.
