Hi @gianlu2,

It seem like your table has some records that existed 'whitespace' characters.
If you want to exclude them, you can setting a filter on this fields to filter 'whitespace' characters(advanced filter mode and exclude filter) or try to do replace value operation in query editor side to replace/remove these character and they will be merged with the "blank" options in the filter.
