data flow csv from sharepoint folder doesnt work (encoding problem?)

‎01-22-2022 02:08 AM

Hi all,

 

I am trying to combine dozens of csv files that are stored on sharepoint folder using data flow. I did try it with Power Query and it worked nicely. Now with data flows I am getting weird characters and I have no idea why. csv is encoded in UTF-8.

Please see the screenshot below:

I have changed the query completely now and tried combining it differently. Now everything works.

This is a ZIP file, not a CSV.

That folder contains only csv, there are no zip files there.

Are you able to post your full Power Query code?
