Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Maybe you can try python visual and with this code:

and hide the python visuals. It will run and output every time you quote or do some slicing, so please consider adding a bookmark or button to refresh this python visual separately

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The power bi exports  data file only support csv file. You can open the csv file with Notepad and then replace the , with #.
