I created a spreadsheet that would pull data from a folder using power query. I have been using this for the past four months however when I have saved Aprils .csv in the folder and selected refresh I noticed no data for April. So I went to power query and filtered on April’s data and noticed that when it pulled into the query most of the columns were “null”. I pulled the original spreadsheet from folder and all the data is showing. I cannot figure out why when I refresh that just April’s file is showing null values. I basically run the report from a portal download the report and then save the csv into the folder. Can anyone assist me with why one file in my folder would pull in “null” values?
Do you connect to folder with power bi desktop, then upload a new file to the folder,
when refreshing from power bi desktop, the new data doesn't show in the file?
Best Regards

No, I use Power Pivot however in Power Query the data in only some columns is null but not all. When I create a new spreadsheet and load just April's Data all columns is showing the correct data. When I try to load all files in one folder April's data shows as null. I hope this explains it
