Morning all...
I have a query that runs on a regular basis against a .csv file. One of my first steps is to unpivot a variable number of columns to convert them into product list (attribute) and unit (value) columns. When filtering, after the unpivot, the attribute column will show a "List may contain extra values" warning. I've been unable to find anything explaining why the warning occurs or how to avoid it...Can anyone provide some insight into the meaning of the warning message? Interestingly, if i look at the individual columns before unpivoting, they all show "List may be incomplete" as expected...

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
I think it may contain special character, symbols, spaces which are not visible. You can use =CLEAN formula to get ride of all these. You may also use FIND AND REPLACE for replacing excessive spaces, if any.
