Good morning,
I am having problems importing an excel file to Power BI, apparently everything is imported correctly but I have detected that some columns shorten the text not showing it in its entirety, how can I fix it?
Hi @Irenemg ,
Once you've loaded your data into Power BI the documentation says that the maximum length of a text value is “268,435,456 Unicode characters (256 mega characters) or 536,870,912 bytes”
Please share some screenshots to help us clarify your scenario.
Best Regards,
Eyelyn Qin
