Hi @stokercw,
I have consult the same issue from PG team before. This is by design. Data model isn't case sensitive.
You can also find the same issue has been talked in forum many times, see: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Creating-Case-Sensitive-Table-Relationships/td-p/18210

hi,
As you have different date for the same DATABASE_NAME lines appear this way.
In case you want to see by date apply an appropriate training.
If you use some aggregation function you can see by YEAR, MONTH, DAY, etc.
