Hi
Ref. Csv.Document()
Using Excel's powerquery and I am getting this message for each row in my CSV table. I am using 'Csv.Document([content])'. I am pointing or using a folder as my source; the idea being we drop the CSV file in here and I haved asked powerquery to filter the latest version. I just tried this on 1 file and same result.
This is what I see, if I click in the area in Green, I get the table above or preview bottom of the screen. If I click on actual word 'Table'; in the screen print its is underlien sin yellow, I get the whole tabel with errors - see screen below.
Screen print table showing errors:
This is my some sample data, I opened the Excel CSV file in notepad to make sure it was text or no formating as such:
Period, Year, Job Code, Cost Centre, Account, Activity, Payroll Number, Description, Amount
"7", "2019", "JOBCODE1", "123456", "2222", "ACTIV01", "PAY01", "1111 DR. A B PERSON", "1.01",
"7", "2019", "JOBCODE2", "223456", "3332", "ACTIV35", "PAY02", "1111 MR. B PERSON", "1.02",
"7", "2019", "JOBCODE3", "323456", "4444", "ACTIV01", "PAY99", "1111 MS. E PERSON", "1.05"
Any thoughts, has anyone elese had this issue?

Hi
Apology, I found this artcile "https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/The-Csv-Document-parameter-Columns-is-invalid/td-p/28742", but afterwards I now realsie what needed to be changed.
"Csv.Document([Content],[Delimiter=",", Columns=9, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])"
So in my version I added a custom column, and i orginally used '=Csv.Document([Content])'. Aftre reading the article above I changed this to read 'Csv.Document([Content],[Delimiter=",", Columns=9, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])' and it now can see the rows or actual data. What I noticed was, when I looked at the actual excel files on there own, ie a did a separte test or import Excel added an extra column at the end. So intead of 9 columns powerquery throught there were 10. I will close this Message off sorry, hopefullt this will help some one with the same issues.
Many thanks
Chris
