Analyze in Excel Downloads as text

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.

Hi @juangomez ,

 

As the online documentExcel 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
