Analize in Excel - the field you are moving cannot be placed in that area of the report

Hi,

 

When I use Analyze in Excel export from Power BI Service it seems that my numeric fields are not recognized as numeric.  Does anyone know how to fix it?

 

Regards,

Karo

Thank you a lot @Anonymous .  I will try workaround from the link, but by quick test it seems that it can be a solution for me 🙂

@karo  I can only think of changing the format of that particular column, to numbers in Excel
