Hi @ZOEY ,

 

I seldom use Power Pivot but, based on experience, that is how it behaves. Adding an aggregation to  Value should fix that.

@danextian you are right.. it only works with a value field input! This is a big lesson thank you !!!

I thought I have issue with bugs or setup not correct. 

Thank you!
