Merging Issue Strange Occurrence

I have merged 2 tables to be a full outer Join by Address field. When I check the join column in the 2nd table, it indicates null ( concluding that no record was matched). However, when I highlight the row and view the details in the record selection the Column is populated correctly.

Also, when I filter on null values from the 2nd column the record does not appear,  weven though it indicates null for that record. The  2nd joined column does not appear as null when exported to a table either.  ( I've tried restarting, refreshin, redoing the merge and renaming the workbook, and each time this occurence is still evident).

 In the image below you can the record is highligted and indicating null but displaying and address value in the  record selection pane at the bottom.

Also, when I filter on "null" values from the 2nd  join column the record does not appear, also  record is populated correctly when exported to a table. I've tried refreshing and re merging, renaming the workbook, but the   the null value still appear in the Expanded columns

function after merging. In the picture below, see  the selected record is populatedMerge record.JPG

Are you merging the tables in Mar 2017 version of Power BI Desktop? From your screenshot, it seem that the table is shown in Excel.
