Bizarre Results from Filtered Records

Ok, this has never happened to me before and is only occurring with one field.  I have a simple choice field called 'Reason'.  However, when filtering results by choice ID #, it is not pulling the correct records.  Doing a simple formula in the console

select Leads where Reason=1

Is pulling records that have different reasons or no reasons at all.  I can't even begin to understand what is happening here.

    Reason is a multi choice field, so try putting numbers() around Reason.

    I created a field that did your code and got back these two records, plus a whole lot more:

    4, 30,
    

    Record 4 does not seem to match the requirements. But if you put numbers() around Reason then 4 disappears.

    select Leads where numbers(Reason) = 1
    

    I'm not sure if you use Reason as a multi choice or not but if you do then you will have to use the contains() function to do a proper filter of results.

    On a side note, I noticed that your dashboard takes about 8 seconds to load. You may want to consider linking your Reports and Dashboard tables to your Leads or Chronos tables directly so you can stop doing all those selects.
