Power Query Ignoring Quotation Characters ("") in Text Field

I need to read a csv file which has text fields that have quotations characters (") but when i upload the file to a dataflow it doesn´t appear anymore.

Anyone knows if theres a workaround for this?

 

Thanks in Advance

Tested with same csv. For some reason QuoteStyle.None doesn't get the desired result when specifying in Csv.Document but it seems to work with Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter.

 

let
    Source = Web.Contents("<csv path>"),
    ToLines = Lines.FromBinary(Source),
    ToRows = List.Transform(ToLines, Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.None)),
    ToTable = Table.FromRows(ToRows)
in
    ToTable

Thanks that should work!, but still it is kinda weird that it doesn´t work with QuoteStyle.None, don´t know if it´s supposed to behave like that.
