Several separators with CSV.Documes in New Column
Hi jcamilo1985
You can try below code to create a custom column.
if Table.ColumnCount(Csv.Document([Content],[Delimiter=","])) > 1 then Csv.Document([Content],[Delimiter=","]) else Csv.Document([Content],[Delimiter=";"])Below is the full M code of my sample. You can paste it into a blank query to check the result.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8i9KSS3ydNHxLEnNjckz1HHLLM7IzEtXKMpPickz0jFUyEnSUyjPL8otVorVgSu3hig3tkZRbmKNojwWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Table.ColumnCount(Csv.Document([Column1],[Delimiter=","])) > 1 then Csv.Document([Column1],[Delimiter=","]) else Csv.Document([Column1],[Delimiter=";"])) in #"Added Custom"Best Regards,

Thank you very much for the answer, it really works, I was hoping that the csv.document function would manually admit the option of several separators as it says in the documentation so as not to have to resort to an if, but the solution is good, thank you very much again
