Duplicate Values
Hi aleggore ,
Can't tell without seeing your query or data. Maybe you're expecting an inner join but used another join type?
"There are no duplicate values showing when I run my query independently or in Power Query before I load to PowerBI. "
The query editor only loads the first 1,000 records by default. You can force it to load all, then you'll get the error in the editor before closing.
you can test for duplicates
= Table.IsDistinct( table )
= Table.IsDistinct( table, { "pk_column1", "pk_column2" } )
or remove duplicates.
= Table.Distinct( table )
= Table.Distinct( table, { "pk_column1", "pk_column2" } )
It might have to do with Power BI's case-insensitivity:Power BI And Case Sensitivity
For testing, you could add an index column (in Power Query) to check how the affected rows look like before and after loading.
If it doesn't help, please provide more details with the error.

Turns out I was creating columns in my dataset in PowerBI that I should have been creating in Power Query. Making these changes, removed this duplicate situation. It was very odd. I'm a pretty new user so I'm still working through all the kinks 🙂
