Pivot Column Results in Null

Hi all,

 

I have a column Facts that I want to go across the columns. Currently there are 6 columns that should be going down a single column. First, I unpivot the columns into a single column Segment, and everything works as expected. Then, I Pivot on my Facts column, but some of the values are resulting in null. These values exist before I pivot the columns. Additionally, if I filter to a particular Fact before I pivot, some of the values that otherwise become null work.

 

Any ideas why this could be happening? I've tried with Sum and Don't Aggregate.

 

Thanks!

Thanks, @Greg_Deckler. My apologies, this seemed to be a data issue where the original data source did not process correctly, leading to the surprising result. As always, a good reminder to go back to the source when something unexpected is happening.

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
