Weird problem need help

I don't now if it is a bug.

 

Cut a long story short.

Lets look to the below screenshot.

DataPreview.png

I have a column named as Hisse. Power BI read the column lenght wrong. There is no space or another character before or after the text but it looks like 1 character more than its normal lenght.
Because of that i can't make any join with this column.

Lets check the pbix. The datasource is web. Anyone can reach.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Assuming Column Hisse just have letters "A-Z", try this new custom column

=Text.Length(Text.Select([Hisse],{"A".."Z","a".."z"}))

it is working thank you for your help.

But i couldn't understand the problem. What is changing with this formula ? Why we need it ?

There are some characters that are not visible that are not trimmed or cleaned by PowerQuery's functions

for example try this new custom colum

=Character.FromNumber(32)

Then check the length of this column
