Hi,
PowerBI fails to separate columns correctly in the Csv.Document() command. I use \ as an escape character in the Csv file. I have several text strings that end with a " sign, and whenever we try to import this into PowerBI it will not see the column separator following the " and parse the text in the next column into the previous column. As an example:
Column 1; Column 2; Column 3
Random text ending with \"; Text in next column; Blank
gets imported as
Column 1: Random text ending with "; Text in next column
Column 2: Blank
Column 3: Blank
I have tried several alternative Escape Characters, but have not found one that imports the text correctly.
