convert Binary to GUID....ObjectGUID field in AD

Hi,

i am pulling data from AD and one of the columns ObjectGUID is showing as Binary in the Query editor. How do i convert that to original GUID value. I used Binary.ToText( ObjectGUID,1)  function but it does not give me the exact value as the original ObjectGUID field in AD.

Is there a way to convert that ObjectGUID field in AD to text  or something before i pull it into PBI desktop?

Guid.From(Binary.ToText([Binary],1))

@Anonymous,

What does the original GUID value look like and what is the GUID value do you get after using Binary.ToText() function ?

Power Query provides several Binary functions which you can use to extract Binary values. Please check if other Binary functions meets your requirement.


Regards,
Lydia
