    .CSV files with unicode

    Hello,

    I have a utility that produces multiple .csv files with sheets.

    The problem is the in many rows it displays Gibberish instead of the actual language it suppose to show (non English)

    The csv encoding is UTF8.

    I've stumbled upon a solution in this link:
    https://www.itg.ias.edu/content/how-import-csv-file-uses-utf-8-character-encoding-0

    my question is, can I perform this solution in a batch process? cause there are many many csv reports, and i don't want to do it manually one by one.

    Thanks!!

    ? I'm confused. Are you importing or exporting csv?

    It would be helpful if you have sample raw data along with how end result should look like.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to import.

    some of the text in cells is in fact english and some is gibberish. This process fixes it. I wonder if I could fix multiple files at once

    You have Excel 2016. Just use PowerQuery to import CSV.

    You can marge multiple files into single table. If that's not desired...

    Upload sample csv file so that I can test solution.
