How can I import just specific .CSV Column / Row data and not other portions, from a 3rd party file?
Carefully09,
Please check if you get expected columns in the following PBIX file. You can review the code in Advanced Editor of the imported query.

Hi Lydia,
Thanks for the reply, it's appreciated.
I do indeed see the correct two Columns and before I sent the above request help, I was getting exactly the same as you have with the getcsv file that you kindly uploaded for me to download and test.
What I don't understand, is that once in PowerBI Desktop it isn't showing ALL the rows, so i can't at this stage begin to build a great Dashboard that will over time, show each quarters, past, present and future stats from the ICO.
I am just trying something different, placing the 3 sets of data alongside each other in 6 columns of the .csv but that doesn't quite work, as it's choosing the headings in all columns and placing them for starters halfway down the row results in the 'Reports' view, which is skewing the data to begin with, it's certainly not straight forward it seems.
Whilst in the 'Data' view it is presenting correctly. Is there a way that I am not aware of at this point, in the 'Report' view to move the records around, so I can get the headings to the top as it is in the 'Data' view please?
Once I can get ALL row data to show, I can then begin to try and get it to show in visualisations, which is the ultimate goal but at present, it's a pain in the ...
Attached is my version, in line with the above explanation. https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/3e6224ed-8232-4b06-a760-0fc1a5af782a?ctid=020fae13-65fc-4a3e-baed-0a1e97818109

I have no access to your report. You can share expected result based on the sample data via Excel.
