Connecting to Oracle database with garbled code

[soldier_rong]

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

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
