Hi,
I have issues with the characters when importing from from .txt file.
When it is a single file that I use is fine, I go into Query Settings / Applied Steps and I have the option to change the encoding (65001 is the one that solves my issue) at CSV import
But when I import from a folder, several .txt files, I do not have that option (CSV import) in the Query Steps.
Any idea on how to do that?
thanks
Alvaro
Hi @Alvarom1,
If you get data from the folder, it will use similar configures to get data from all folder items. I'd like to suggest you write a custom function to iterate all files in folder with CSV connector and combine transformed files.
If you confused about coding formula, can you please share some dummy data for test?
