I am trying to import a .CSV file into Power BI but it seems to be having trouble with line breaks. Instead of seeing the data in blue as a single datapoint, it is splitting this line into seperate records. Everything I see says this should not be a problem since its in quotes.
I tried to look at other posts like this one but it wasn't helpful because I don't have the ignore quoted line breaks option when I import.

This is what I see when I import. Unfortunately no option to ignore quoted line breaks.
Hi @X3svfdB1HOjKYc0 ,
When you have imported the CSV file into Power Query, click on the Source button in the applied step and you will see this option.
