I have 2 sources: Data (Excel spreadsheet) and item_info (SQL table). They both share a field item_no. I want to join on this field in Data to bring in additional fields from the item_info table into Data.

Both fields are data type text.
There are no leading or trailing spaces.
Join kind is left outer (all from Data, matching from item_info)

I'm getting 0 matches.

If I open Data as a spreadsheet, and bring a query of item_info into a table in a spreadsheet, I can do a VLOOKUP on the field item_no and get results just fine.

Why won't the merge work in Power Query????

I don't have permission to attach a sample of the Data spreadsheet, maybe that would be helpful in identifying the issue?
