Expanded data incorrect when merging two queries
Hi v-lili6-msft,
Thanks for your response.
I was able to get around the error by putting an additional step in the "BaselineStartDate" query. It seemed that somehow the merge was occuring prior to the last "filter" step in this query, hence why the expanded values were different to what I was seeing in the source query. When I put this extra step (which was just a dummy "remove errors" step), it seemed to fix the problem and the numbers in the merged query matched the source query.
Not sure why this was happening and recognise that my solution is only a temporary work-around, but seems to have fixed it for me... for now.
Cheers,
Jonty
HI, JontySchulz
I have tested on my side, but not reproduce the issue. and we need more detail steps for us. It seems that just merge two table by column Design Package Name and then expand the data.
Please share your sample pbix or some data sample and expected output for us. You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.
Best Regards,

Had the same problem. It was driving me nuts.
In the end, I took your advice, added a "Remove errors" to the lookup query, and the error went away.
Even for me also , i had tried everything by applying Trim and Clean text , but did not work.
After adding Remove Errors , the merged query returned correct results.
This is crazy , not sure about the issue.
Thank you so much for your answer! It helped me a lot.
