Bizarre behaviour from 'Remove Duplicates'
Hi Anonymous
Can you not use Group By Instead?
I wonder if you will get the same result.

You can extend "Group By" by switching to advanced, like below.
21 unique values is probobly the right result as query editor previews serten amount of rows rather then loads whole table, so 19 unique values might have been incomplete.
Mariusz 'Group By' does give me the expected list of results (21 unique, not 19 as previously indicated).
However I also lose the rest of the table, so it's not really a solution. Interesting that this works but 'Remove Duplicates' doesn't.

Mariusz That does give me the output I'd expect. I will mark it as a solution however I don't see it as the "right" solution. 'Remove Duplicates' clearly isn't behaving as expected and that's still the issue, even when using this workaround.
Thanks for your help!
