The symptom is that by default the Pivot table sets the value to "Count". When I click on "Value field settings", and select "Sum", the following message appears: "We can't summarize this field with Sum because its not a supported calculation for Text data types".

How can I use a pivot table in Excel to find the median. I see average and sum, but not median ...
Notes to MS's Excel developers: a) Please explain why the Calculated Field functionality is greyed out because the data is in a Data Model. b) Why don't you add Distinct Count as a standard in the Pivot Table value field settings (right below Count), without the need to add the data to a Data Model. That shouldn't be too difficult; it would ...

My Pivot table has changed how it gives the detail behind the summary value. Previously by double clicking on the value it would create a new tab with the information making up the summary value, naming it 'sheet2'. I have run the same Pivot today, but when double click on the value, it creates a new tab as 'detail1' and adds two lines at the ...
This suggestion is almost perfect. I'm applying the custom format to a pivot table. It does change my value of 1 to a checkmark; however, it also changes my total. Is there a way of only applying it to the values not the totals? I selected the total rows and tried to remove custom format from it but it does not work; when I do this, the entire ...
Thanks for visiting Microsoft Community. We have tested and discussed this issue together, and unfortunately, the functionality you need is not currently available with conditional formatting. Also, the pivot table itself does not have the ability to highlight specific values in groups .
