Table visualisation keeps aggregating data - not sure why??

Hi all

 

I have a table visual on my report. I want to return every row in my dataset into this table visual. However, for some reason, if the values that would be returned for two rows are the same, then PBI will only return one row - they are getting aggregated. However, if I then add a new column into the table which makes each row returned unique (a row ID), then every row is returned into the table visual.

 

The columns I have currently added to the table visual are all either date or text columns. I have made sure to select 'Dont summarize' for all columns in the Modelling tab already. Also, for each column added into the table, in the visualisations pane Values section, I have made sure to select Dont Summarise for each value too

 

Is there any way to just return every row into the table visualsation without having a unique column added too, as I dont want to display the row ID column?

 

Many thanks

Not really, what I do is to add the unique row and then set it to not word wrap (column and value) and then shrink the column width down in the table so that it doesn't display.
