Leading and trailing sequences in Power BI
Leading and trailing spaces in Power BI are extra spaces that appear at the start or end of text values. They can cause data quality issues and affect sorting and grouping in visualizations. To address this, you can use Power Query’s text trimming functions (‘Text.Trim’, ‘Text.TrimStart’, and ‘Text.TrimEnd’) to remove these spaces during data cleaning. Be mindful of data modeling and visualization impacts, and encourage good data entry practices to prevent the introduction of such spaces.
