How Power BI Connector handles special characters

This article explains how Power BI Connector handles special characters in Jira custom fields and table names.

Custom field and table names with special characters

Power BI Connector effectively handles the occurrence of special characters to ensure the correct display of values in Power BI Desktop.

  • During data extraction, the Power BI Connector detects and replaces all the occurrences of '#,.,&, and @' special characters in the Jira custom field and table name with an underscore (_) character.

  • All the occurrences of '(,), and ?' special characters in the table name are replaced with an underscore (_) character.

  • When you create or edit a connector URL and select fields, you can notice the custom field names displaying '_' instead of '#,.,&, and @'.
