Azure Synapse reading csv file

[Anonymous]

Referring to Youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOSzw40TohM) and attempting to utilze a csv file uploaded to Azure Blob/Gen2 datalake, and execute a SQL Script against a CSV file. Attempted many combinations to query but only returns the filename.

base query

SELECT

    TOP 100 *

FROM

    OPENROWSET(

        BULK 'https://example.dfs.core.windows.net/exampledatalakeg2/.../filename_example.csv',

        FORMAT = 'CSV',

        FIELDTERMINATOR = ';',

        ROWTERMINATOR = '',

        PARSER_VERSION='2.0'

    ) AS [result]

Tried defining all the columns, data types, and data row start which should return 6 columns with 100k rows of data.

You can try to directly connect to this csv file from within Power BI. Open Power BI -> Get Data -> Azure -> Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 -> Put the URL of the CSV and then sign in. This should be the easiest and most straight forward way.
