LOOKUP VALUE PROBLEM-SPECIAL CHARACTERS

Hello, I have a problem with cmon PBI. I made a formula with a LOOKUP VALUE function. It works except for two cells. It seems that it does not work because of the special characters "é".

Here, the function will look for the order tracking in another table. As you can see, two orders have been placed, the first which is "Box Glassine" and the second "Caisses palettes Ajourées". The function will look for the first reference but not the second.

Table:"CAP VALO-Commande fournisseur"

Hi, @Elie_HUCHET ;

Sorry, I tried to restore your data and code unsuccessfully. Can you share your dax formula and simple data?

please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
