    Thank you Mariusz, excellent solution.

     

    You also got me interested in this:

     

    = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("VcjJCQAgDATAVmTfCjk0YC0h/beh5Lcwr8mEYmKY6F2iH2omjM76nM77Nt3uO3SnL+gCVQ8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Date = _t])
    1. Is it possible you could help me understand this syntax and how I could replicate something like this?
    2. I tried to convert this back with a web converter using Base64, but I couldn't get the expected result. Why is that?
    3. Is it also a good solution for storing data 'inside' the pbix file? Let's say, would it be possible to import external text files with a query, combine them, compress and store them inside the pbix, and then use this data for further processing? Because I'm looking for a way to keep the data 'inside' when the original files are removed...

    If you want I can make an extra topic for this so you get new kudo's and it can be marked as a solution. Perhaps a Mod can split up this topic?

      Hi richard-powerbi 

       

      This code is generated internally by query editor when you use "Enter Data" functionality.

      I have never look dipper into that topic so probably you are better off creating new topic.

      All I can say, there is a limitation to how many rows/columns you can paste there.

       

       

      Best Regards,
      Mariusz
