Hello @Vivo ,

 

In Power Query screen please check, if there is a applied filter or steps.

I look, no filter is applied.

Hi @Vivo ,

Check the visual settings:

Go to your table visual in Power BI.
For each column, click the dropdown arrow and select “Don’t summarize”.
This tells Power BI to display each row exactly as it is without aggregating.

Check Power Query steps:
Open Transform Data → Power Query Editor.
Make sure no “Remove Duplicates” or filters were applied accidentally.
If needed, load all columns to maintain uniqueness.

Verify by adding an index column

In Power Query, you can add an Index Column to ensure each row is unique for visuals.
This guarantees that even fully identical rows are displayed separately.

If you still can't resolve the issue, please provide the sample Pbix file. How to provide sample data in the Power BI Forum

You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community.

We are available to support you and are committed to helping you reach a resolution.

Hi @Vivo,

 

may I ask you to share a bit more information to help you out?

Which database (on-prem, cloud, SQL, no-sql,...)?

With which tool have you queried the database?

With which query and how have you queried the DB from PBI?

 

Best regards!

@Vivo is suggest looking at the actual records (as they are a handy number) and check out which one is the record missing and if this record is somehow "suspicious". If there is no filter or any Power Query transformation done which hinders the record to not be there it needs to be checked further.

 

Best regards!

when the records are the same, it's only showing one. I need it to show me all records, even if identical.

Ah ok got it. Then this might be due to implicit GROUP BY in Power BI: If you're using a visual (like a table) without all columns, Power BI automatically aggregates duplicate rows. Check if "Don't summarize" is set for all columns.

ahh, thank you. I will check. you've been a great help.
