    Hi EmiliaB_123 ,

     

    Oh! Sorry for my misunderstanding!

    Please allow me to describe your issus again:

    When you export the visual data from apps to excel , the prefix of "Sum of " appears in the column name , and you have set the default summarization to "Sum", right?

Hi EmiliaB_123 ,

 

To my knowledge, each field with Number type will have Sum/Don´t summarize... options in Values tab.

 

Did you try to use the second or third methods I provided before?

 

Please use my pbix file to have a try on your side.

    Hi Anonymous ,

    I get your correction advices, but I actually need the setting "sum" for this field. I just don´t understand why it only shows the wrong column header for two columns. The others are set the exact same way and it doesn´t show the "sum of..." in the title.
