Hi Guys,
I connect to Oracle to query out the data appears garbled? How do I know what the data encoding is after I import my power BI data source? My database is coded as WE8ISO8859P1.
I also tried the following code, but it didn't work, still garbled.
= Table.AddColumn(source, "Customer colunm", each Text.FromBinary(Text.ToBinary([COMPANY_NAME], TextEncoding.Utf16), TextEncoding.Ascii))
Thanks advance.
BR,
Soldier Rong
Hi @v-yanjiang-msft ,
Hope you are well.
I found the the oracle server code as the below: American_America.WE8ISO8859P1.
So, I changed the key in my PC. However, the field still garbled
