    Hi AliceW ,

    "And I couldn't figure out what you mean by the blank."
    I mean insert a space before a1.
    Actually for this problem, there are currently two possible solutions:

    1. Use M language

    https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2019/10/06/power-bi-and-case-sensitivity/ 

    2. Modify value
    Just like I did before, insert the corresponding characters in the column value to distinguish the column value.

    Best regards,
    Lionel Chen

Hi Rob,

The internal ID is (for us) a combination of letters and numbers, such as 0063MX90004qzCN. The field is definitely there, as it's used by Salesforce as an unique identifier for a particular record (Opps, Accounts, Users etc.). It should have 'internal' in the name. Your IT department should have made it visibile though (or perhaps it's just me) 🙂

Good luck!

Alice

Alice,

It Worked!!

Though I have to admit I don't know why it should work as the ID also has lowercase and uppercase letters that could also change their case. But somehow it doesn't. Something is different, but I don't know what.

How did you realize this could be a solution?

 

Thanks again for your time in solving this issue.

All the best,

Rob
