We had a similar issue recently where a space at the fourth position was not recognized. We raised a ticket for that and are still waiting.

 

If you have a Pro license you can open a Pro ticket at https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/newsupportticket/powerbi
Otherwise you can raise an issue at https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues .
