Dear All
I am new to powerpivot and trying to convert my excel file worksheet into powerpivot because my data is
getting huge and hard to managed.
I need to calculate unique value in a column of my excel. Therefore I use the function in powerpivot below
Unique ID:=Distinctcount(Total[ID])
It give me a result of Unique ID =4328 (Wrong )
Unfortunately this result is wrong.
The correct result is 4348 but i cannot get this correct result.
My data contain text, numer, -, . ...etc
Can someone advise how i can solved this problem ?
Thanks
regards
Ken
Check if you've refreshed the data model.
Hi
Thanks for your reply..I have refresh but still same problem
I suspect my problem with powerpivot is due to my data in the excel file.
My excel file consist of data with number and text. I notice that there is no
problem for my data if it is TEXT, mixture of text & number or number that within 8 digit
But when number become too long like below
When Powerpivot extract the data, it will store it as “4.34307E+13” and count as 1 instead of 2.
Any advise how to solve this kind of problem ?
regards
Ken
