Different capitalization in Power Query and loaded data affecting calculated columns
- Anonymous2 years ago
I solved the issue by creating a new index column in Power Query for my data. After that, I copied the query of that table into a new one (IndexTable) where I only had the IDs containing different capitalised letters and the newly added index (removed all the other columns).
From that point on I can reference IndexTable and the newly added Index Column in Power BI to avoid the initial issue or merge queries in Power Query using the original ID since Power Query is case sensitive.
