Remove Duplicates & Relationsship bug?
Thank you for your patience WolfBiber,
With help of your example I finally found the problem...
- Power Query --> case sensitive
- Power Pivot / Power View --> case insensitive
That's why I can't find "duplicates" in Power Query, but on the canvas you see duplicate values... (it even transformed small x to capital letter). just WOW Microsoft :(
For our example:
- HArtNr "03005.00101" is assigned to ArtDLNr "17 X 1075_64"
- HArtNr "03005.00203" is assigned to ArtDLNr "17 x 1075_64"
Possible solutions/work arounds and some stuff to read:

Still didn't figure out how I can fix my problem. I could remove duplicates in case-insensitive manner with
= Table.Distinct(aTable, { "aColumn", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase } )but I don't want to lose this distinction. ATM I'm wondering how I can get around this. But if necessary, I will open another thread for this.
In the example data you gave me you have duplicates:

Absolutely incredible that a 6 year old bug with thousands of view and an incredible amount of threads created about it still has not been fixed.
