Power Query - Character Limit Issue

Hey Everyone,

 

I am working on this survey file which has an open ended question with customer comments on it. When I opened the file in power query, I have noticed lot of the comments are not fully showing up. For example, one such customer comment has 347 characters in it but in power query file only 255 showed up. 

 

Can anyone please help me understand what the issue is?

 

Thanks

I tried inserting the data all over again but the sentence looks still incomplete than what it has in the excel. @Greg_Deckler 

@SLN_1711 Any chance you can provide the data you are using or post screen shots of what you are seeing?

@SLN_1711 That should not be a limit in Power Query, *maybe* in the preview pane. What is the source file and what connector are you using?

@Greg_Deckler its an excel worksheet (.xlsx)

@SLN_1711 OK, I tested this and cannot recreate the issue. See attached PBIX and Excel file below signature.
