Merge not Finding Matches
I am trying to merge values from one table to the next, the main table has unique values. When I do the merge I continue to get null values on some rows but not others, even though the data is there....

Could be due to non-printable characters or blanks. Clean and trim your key columns before the merge (Text.Trim and Text.Clean):

Thanks. I've tried that already but still getting the same results.

Strange, you did that on both columns (in both tables)?
Then you need to analyze the difference:
- Text.ToList will create a list from both strings
- if lenghts are both the same, compare each x-th element to find the difference
