SUMMARIZE table without blanks

I would like to have all unique values from a column in order to use it as a dimension table. Here is how I do that:

Yet, even though I'm excluding the blank ones I still have one blank. On top of that, when I try to connect it to my fact table it says that the relationship is many to many even though I don't see any duplicate values in this table.

Will appreciate any help!

    Are you sure it is blank and not a space or other character?  If so, please try DISTINCT(campaign_id[objective]) instead.  It will exclude the blank row.

    Hi Quiny_Harl,

    In fact, blank records can be matched with multiple scenarios(blank, empty string, unrecognized special characters), I'd like to suggest you double-check your record value to confirm its type.

    In addition, you can also take a look at the below blog about handle blank in Dax to know more them:
