default summarization

‎03-07-2019 09:39 AM

I tried to set default summarization on a particular column and it won't take.   I can do it on other columns but there are 2 that I want that it says its set to count, but the sum symbol doesn't show on the column name , and it doesn't give a count.

thanks

That's likely because they are Text fields versus numeric.
