I don't now if it is a bug.
Cut a long story short.
Lets look to the below screenshot.
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 ?
@Anonymous
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
