    Hi thank you for the tip.

     

    I managed to solve the issue and it indeed had to do with the column formating. The data format for the matching columns in the query merge were data type 'Any' for both columns.

     

    For some reason most rows matched except a few rows apparently having a different format. I changed the format of the matching ID columns to 'Text' which solved the issue.

     

    Thanks for your help.

     

    Regards

Hi ChristofferL,

 

In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you to deal with this column to remove any whitespace or other special characters.

In addition, you can also try to modify the filter mode to 'contain' or 'starts with'.
