comma-delimit.jpgHello,

I have a column located in the middle of my data that include commas within the cell. When I comma delimit the .csv file it will also separate by commas within a cell and mess up the data formatting. When you manually use the data delimiter it offers on the wizard a "Do Not Import Column skip" action. How can I do the same within Power Query when I upload the .csv file?

Thanks

Hi Vanessa,

Power Query doesn't have this option, but you can join the columns back together using Merge Columns and set the delimiter to a comma.
