Carriage Returns when Combining multiple CSV documents

Hello, 

 

I'm working on importing multiple CSV documents from a sharepoint folder using the combine files (binaries) function. When I do this there is a carriage return in an address field that will split the row into 2 seperate rows of data. because of the structure of the data this ends up shifting all of the data over a few columns. 

 

I can completed this operation when important importing a single CSV by changing the QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.Csv however I do not have the option for quote style CSV in the combine files statement or anywhere in the documentation. 

 

Source File

Row NumberPersonAddressCreate DateTitle
1A

123 State St

123 State St

1/1/20222Install

 

Actual Outcome

Row NumberPersonAddressCreate DateTitle
1A123 State St(null)(null)
2123 State St"1/1/2022Install(null) 

 

Intended Outcome

Row NumberPersonAddressCreate DateTitle
1A

123 State St 123 State St 

1/1/2022Install

If you're using the combine files UI, then it likely creates some helper queries like Sample FileTransform File, and Transform Sample File. I think you should be able to add "QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.Csv" to Transform Sample File the same way you can add it to a single CSV. That should update the Transform File function which is used in your main query that does the combining.
