Different amount of rows from same SQL table

Hi!

 

I have a problem that I don't understand. 

 

If I just import the table, it shows 1796 rows in Power BI. Every row in the table are unique. (WRONG AMOUNT OF ROWS)

 

let
    Source = Sql.Databases("xxxxx.database.windows.net"),
    #"localization-sd-pilot-db" = Source{[Name="localization-sd-pilot-db"]}[Data],
    dbo_LocalizationItems = #"localization-sd-pilot-db"{[Schema="dbo",Item="LocalizationItems"]}[Data]
in
    dbo_LocalizationItems

But if I import the same table with SQL clause, it show 2304 rows. (CORRECT AMOUNT)

 

let
    Source = Sql.Database("xxxxx.database.windows.net", "zzzzz", [Query="SELECT [Id]#(lf)      ,[ExternalId]#(lf)  FROM [dbo].[LocalizationItems]", CreateNavigationProperties=false])
in
    Source

Isn't the first option supposed to give me the whole table? I have the latest version of Power BI desktop installed.

 

Thanks in advance!

@BilboBaggins,

 

I have made a table with some duplicate rows in sql server and import the table into power bi, but couldn't reproduce your issue, duplicate rows still exist in power bi on my side. Could you show a sample of table structure for further analysis?

OK, new day and fresh pair of eyes. 

 

The DB structure has changed, and I made the import and query from different databases. The tables were identically named and this lead to my confusion. So everything is working fine, the error code was PEBMAC. Robot LOL
