Removing Duplicates is not removing all duplicates.

Hello, I have a single column table that I have appended two tables to create. I then used the 'removed duplicates' option in the column dropdown. However, and this took me forever to find, but for some reason there are STILL 3 sets of duplicate values still in the set after doing this.

Hi @baaaailey ,

 

I'll give it a shot. Could it be that there are lagging spaces?

I dont think so no, I did some trim and then  LEN on both the original and the trimmed version and the number of characters are the same.
