I am loading CSV files. when i go to tranform data the columns are ok, divided by comas, i see the data but highlted in red as if there are erros. i try to change the format and the numers i saw turn into errors. When i close transform data i get message about cultural reference "No se admite la referencia cultural especificada". How could i solve this? is it an issue with the Csv file?

Try loading the query to Power BI, that might give you a better error messsage.

 

Look out for fields with decimal numbers ( period versus comma)  and dates (different orders of day and month).  If you know which culture the CSV files come from you can specify that culture (for example "es-MX") during the transformation.
