Hi @kishordute ,

1.Since aggregation is only enabled for numeric fields, can you check the the data type is numeric?
2. If this alo doesnt work, try this in your editor-


foreach (var col in Model.AllColumns)
{
if (!col.IsHidden && col.DataType == DataType.Int64)
{
col.SummarizeBy = AggregateFunction.Sum;
}
}

3. Else you can duplicate the column and give it a different name and make sure its numeric and then perform aggregation.

Hope this helps!

Hi @kishordute ,
It sounds like when you used Tabular Editor, you may have changed a setting or property that disabled aggregation (i.e., summarization like SUM, AVG) on certain columns in Power BI. This can happen if you modified the "IsSummarizeBy" or "IsHidden" properties in the model, especially for numeric columns.
If your columns are calculated columns or non-numeric, Power BI may automatically disable aggregation. Ensure the column data type supports summarization (like Whole Number or Decimal).

If you're unsure which column is affected, you can use this script in Tabular Editor to find all columns with SummarizeBy=None

foreach (var col in Model.AllColumns)
{
if (col.SummarizeBy == AggregateFunction.None)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{col.DaxObjectFullName} - SummarizeBy: None");
}
}

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
Thank You
