Power Query Transform Sample File

[Zibi]

Hi, Would anyone know where the Transform Sample File step get the column format assignment?

In some cases it is incorrect and I do not see how can I change this, if I try to change at this step the amounts i get are whole $ without the cents.

Thanks
Z

seems an automated step. Since the value in row 1 is alpha numerical, it is defined as text. Replace the step with promotie headers. Then define the data type as currency.

Hi, Unfortunately that is not correcting the issue, since the automatic step recognized the values as text it is removing the cent values

How did you define the source file encoding? Try utf 8. 65001 unicode.

I used get data from folders where I have the .xlsb files therefore the source file encoding is automatic, please let me know if there is a way I can adjust this.

here is a sample of the excel file

Xlsb is a bad match for Power Query.
The value seen by PQ is the formatted value and not the actual cell content. Same as for legacy file formats like xls.
Formatting the source files seems to be the solution.
Earlier I was assuming you were importing csv files.
