UNICHAR is causing duplication in my table

dgilm33_0-1660947460434.png

I have a table with these columns. Code shows either direct or similar. Conditional Format shows 2 for similar or 1 for direct. UIN is the identifier for a item I brought in.  In conditional format my formula is IF(Table[Code]="Direct", 1, 2). Test formula is IF(ISBLANK(Table[UIN]), Blank(), Table[Conditional Format]). Test 2 formula is IF(OR(Table[Test] =1, Table[Test]=2), UNICHAR(10004), ""). 

Why when I include "test" does my table remain accurate, but when I include "test 2", it duplicates each item twice where each item has both a blank value and a check mark value. Why is power bi doing this and how can I fix it?

Hi @dgilm33 ,

 

Based on the test, the formula is calculated properly by logic.

If there are other details not noted, please clarify further, and you may also provide complete sample data (note not to include sensitive data) and publish the expected output.
