Hi Everyone
I am downloading the Analyze in Excel file but every number field is read as text in the Power Pivot table.
So I am not able to sum, average or do any calculations.
Where did I go wrong?
I am not able to inser the field GS (numeric) field in values. I know it downloads with the correct decimal format as I am downloading it with "." but a partner with different regional configuration downloads it as ",". But we both have the same issue working with the data.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @juangomez ,
As the online document, Excel PivotTables do not support drag-and-drop aggregation of numeric fields. Your dataset in Power BI must have pre-defined measures. Read about creating measures.
Thank you for the information
I created the measure in my report but it is not shown in my connected Pivot Excel file. What I am doing wrong?

@juangomez You will have to define those numbers as measures in your model in Power BI
