Blank spaces not recognized like that

Hi, My dataset is from an xml file generated by a french software. In the ID column I see this value: "blablabla : blablabla" but PowerBi doesn't seem to the " : " part, it sees only ":". For exemple, I can't filter the ID column by " : " because it won't find it. It could be a kind of invisible regional format. Do you have any idea to solve that, excluding to export the xml file in a csv document? 

Thank you!
