Power Query CSV Line break issues

Hi all, I am having trouble trying to get Power Query Editor to ignore the line breaks in my imported CSV files.

 

I need to combine my CSV files from my main folder and sub folders in Sharepoint. I have edited the Transform Sample File Source but the line breaks are still creating new rows. I have also tried to use sharepoint.list and edited the source like below but still doesn't work. I have also tried to just import one of the CSV files but the line breaks still creating new rows. 

 

Does anyone have any other ideas I can try?

Probably your CSV is not formatted in an acceptable manner. So you can either change the CSV so the line breaks are properly quoted, or create a rule for which linebreaks to ignore and which to honor, and recombine the file after you have imported it.

Thanks @ronrsnfld I exported my data to .xlsx first and then re saved it to CSV. This seems to fix the issue.
