More records in source csv file than query editor

Hi all,

 

I exported workout data from my fitness app into the power bi desktop application via a csv file. I noticed after doing some calculations that it appears that the query editor shows more total rows than my source csv file which is weird. Is this a common problem with a common overlooked mistake?

 

For example on a particular exercise in excel I see that the total (sum) of the repetitions performed was around 5000. However, when I sum that same exercise within power bi desktop application it shows a total (sum) of 7801. I created a chart with the exercise and sum of reps, so I am seeing this occur for a good majority of my exericses. Any thoughts?

Hi @Anonymous 

it's almost impossible to answer you without details.

in the most common case, power bi and excel should be the same

but if you talk about Power Query Mode - you can see here only data preview
