We are trying to ingest multiple gzipped CSV files for a project. We can ingest a single gzipped file with the following:
let
Source = File.Contents("C:\Users\username\something.csv.gz"),
Decompressed = Binary.Decompress(Source, Compression.GZip),
#"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(Decompressed,[Delimiter=",", Columns=28, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Imported CSV", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Changed Type" = ....snipped...
in
#"Changed Type"And we can import multiple plain CSV files from a directory using the directory source type. What I can't figure out how to do is to import multiple gzipped files in a directory. How do we apply the "Binary.Decompress" to each file in a directory as part of the load?
Solved! Go to Solution.
