Bizarre behaviour from 'Remove Duplicates'
What is going on here??
I've got a column with 63 rows, of which 19 are distinct values.
I right-click and select 'Remove Duplicates' (or use the button in the ribbon, it has the same effect).
I get a list of 4 values back! It has clearly removed non-distinct values from this list.
Why is this happening? And how do I get 'Remove Duplicates' to work as expected?
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.
