Problems importing an excel file to Power B

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,

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
