Import multiple files from folder new version PowerBI

Hi,

 

I´ve updated my PowerBI and now when I import multiple files (CSV) from folder, I have the next problem.

If I select Delimiter "semicolon", I only have one column (FECHA) and this is not correct, because I need all columns (FECHA,NAME,USER_ID....)

 

I must ignore the first rows of the files. The interesting data starts in the 5 row.

 

In version "DIC-2019" I did not had this problem. The problem occurs now when I update to the new version

Thanks @v-jayw-msft 

 

Now, I need import this files using import from folder to one pbix file

This pbi should have one table with this columns: FECHA,NAME,USER_ID,ASSIGNED_STORES,USER_STATUS,COUNTRY,HANDLED,CREATEDCASES,CLOSEDCASE

 

The problem is that one file use ";" delimiter and the other file use "," delimiter.

This is a simple example, but I need import a  lot files from one folder.

@Anonymous , Now sure this issue with the new release. In this case, you should have removed the first 4 rows and made the 5th one as the header. Is that not your setting?
