Data Truncating

Hello, 

 

Im having some of the data in one of my columns truncating.

 

The full length seems well under the Power BI limit so not sure why this is happening. 


Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, this happens to Power BI when it connects to SAP BW. My colleagues asked me same question lately.

I'd suggest you refer to this post. Solved: Issue loading text strings longer than 60 characte... - Microsoft Fabric Community

I even followed up just a few weeks ago but no one responded.

Seems like a long standing issue then, thank you for sharing the information!
