text value of dash "-" used to be loaded as same, recently started coming in as zero length strings

Has anyone else seen this happen recently?

App was developed on older version, last year, not sure what version we were on then. probably a 2020 release.

we have done several upgrades and are on Aug 2021 now.

Noticed after a reload, values that used to be dashes, (NOT NULL VALUES, text value of "-" , length=1, isnull = false) were now coming in as zero length string and I had to do redesign to handle this change in behavior.

 

summary 

excel file with columns where some values were text value of dash "-" (NOT NULL VALUE dash, text value of "-" , length=1, isnull = false) were loaded into qlik sense as dashes (NOT NULL VALUE dash, text value of "-" , length=1, isnull = false) last year on older version.

 

now in Aug release, excel file with columns where some values were text value of dash "-" (NOT NULL VALUE dash, text value of "-" , length=1, isnull = false) are being loaded into qlik as zero length string.

 

anyone else seeing this?
