    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    In addition to bcdobbs 's reply, please try Trim function in Power Query.

    Here I have a test by add space front or behind "Apple". We can see there are three Apples which look like the same in Filter. 

    I find Clean function couldn't remove them. Try trim, it will work.

    Or find all different "Apples" by filter , copy them and compare them to find the difference.

    For reference: Trim Vs Clean in Power BI and Power Query

     

    Best Regards,

Have you tried using trim as well as clean?

 

Failing that add a new step at end of power query to Replace "Apple" by "Test". Identify any rows that still have something that looks like Apple left which might give a clue.
