Presence of a delimiter (comma) in a few values create a mess

‎05-10-2016 06:29 AM

Hello all,

 

My data sources are mainly CSV files, whose delimiter is a "comma"

 

If ever there are commas within the values, it creates a mess, as every value is then offset:

Surely, there is an easy way to fix this in PBI?

 

Many thanks,

This would be a problem with any tool.  The comma is overloaded.  If possible, ask for TAB-delimited files, for example.

Ok, but rather than having to edit this CSV in excel, isn't it possible to edit it right from PBI?
