Hi @Anonymous 

In addition to NikhilKumar 's reply, you can import csv file from open as like NikhilKumar 's reply.

Or you can right click the Csv file in Power Query Editor and select Text as below.

If you open as Excel, it may show error and you need to edit settng to open file as Csv document.

@Anonymous - In top left in Power Query, you could see an option  "Open As" - Click over that and select Text file. That should work
