Hi,
I have some issue with PBI aggregarion and I have no idea why it behaves this way. I have few columns which should be aggregated, but I cannot forced them to sum up. I've already checked if data type is a number and summarization option is set up for "Sum". In "Model" view, my columns are marked with sigma sign, but when change view to "Data" or "Report" - then the sigma dissapears and I cannot aggregate them. I know, that it may happend, when calculated groups are being implemented, but I don't have this solution in my report. I use the newest version of PBI Desktop (April 2021).
Do you have any idea, what can I do? Please help

It is highly recommended that you use explicit measures instead of default aggregations or implicit measures. So for a sum, create a measure along the lines of:
Sum of values = SUM(Table[Column of values])
And use the measure in the visuals.
