Line Break - CSV Files

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I was trying to combine multiple CSV files, but I got the error that I have a column named "Comments" that actually is Long text where our customers provides feedback, my challenge is that everytime a customer used a line break, this made that Power Query Reads a new Row, instead of leaving all the information together on the last column named "Comments" 

I have tried already cleaning data with Trim and Cleaning Format options, but it does not work and still leaves the new Row only with the text due to the Line Break. 

Is there any way I can avoid this? Appreciate your help. 

Regards, 

MIchael Pinto.

Hi @CNENFRNL , 

i am having the same issue and i tried to do the steps you said but i couldnt find that option.

I am loading all the files in a folder and combining it and tried double clicking the sorce and it is just showing the folder path, is there any other way to sort this issue

Hi, @Anonymous 

It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

When importing files from a folder and combining them, you get several query objects.

The object that you should adjust is the query that transforms the example file, you can find the option at the location similar to this screenshot:

Did you enable Line breaks as ignore quoted line breaks on CSV-import on the source 

Appreciate your kudos!! Mark my post as solution if this helps.

Hello! Thanks for your quick answer, I have been looking for something for the past 7 hours. 

Just wondering, where can I pull out that menu? I am using my power Bi Desktop but when I loaded all the CSV files, it does not show me those options. Also, I tried to use the Option Change Source and Data Source Settings but it does not show that.

What do I have to do to find that option?

@Anonymous -You will find that menu once you click settings button on Source in Applied Steps section.
