Power Query importing CSV from folder error

[Vianney123]

Hey all, 

I am trying to create a Power Query from a folder which contains a CSV file.

Unfortunatly i am getting an error.

After clicking on the " Binary" sign, i get the error below.

I think it's due to the Delimiter.
But i don't know how to solve it.

Does anybody now how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi @Vianney123 ,

We can change the "Imported CSV" step, from

= Csv.Document(#"Previous Step Name",[Delimiter=",", Columns=1, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])

To

= Csv.Document(#"Previous Step Name",[Delimiter=";", Columns=1, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])

Then we can add a "Use First Row as Headers" step after imported CSV

Best regards,

Hey v-lid-msft,

Thanks for your response 🙂

Unfortunately i seem to be unable to adjust your steps 😞

Do you perhaps know what i should add in the advanced editor?

Thanks in advance,

let
Source = Folder.Files("O:\EXPIRATIES"),
#"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(Source,{{"Date created", Order.Descending}}),
#"Kept First Rows" = Table.FirstN(#"Sorted Rows",1)
in
#"Kept First Rows"

Hi @Vianney123 

Try this:

let
    Source = Folder.Files("O:\EXPIRATIES"),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(Source,{{"Date created", Order.Descending}}),
    #"Kept First Rows" = Table.FirstN(#"Sorted Rows",1),
    ImportCSV = Csv.Document(#"Kept First Rows"{0}[Content],[Delimiter=";", Columns=1, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])
in
    ImportCSV

Kind regards,

JB

Hello @Vianney123 

what is the idea to read from the folder and then from csv-file?

If you only need this file only, query your file directly with the TXT/CSV function. This help importing your data with a special wizard. If you need do read the binary data from your flder consider using this csv-converting function like this (your file seems european standard and devided with semicolon)

= Csv.Document(YourBinaryDataUsindForExampleFileContents,[Delimiter=";", Columns=4, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])
