Field length limit in Power Query

[gvg]

Hi folks,

It looks like Power Query truncates imported fields to 1020 characters. I have seen this when loading JSON field from MySQL data source. Is there a remedy to this, I wonder? 

Thanks in advance !

Hi @gvg,

Firstly, please check if you have installed the latest version of Power BI Desktop.

In addition, you could refer to this blog What Is The Maximum Length Of A Text Value In Power BI? which should be helpful.

OK, this is great article. After some more investigation I figured out, that Power Query does actually import fields longer than 1020 characters, it just shows them up truncated. They appear all right in a visual.

Thanks !
