Hi dear forum,
I am quite new to working with Power Pivot and have found it very beneficial. I have encountered one issue however:
I have added a new Data Model to my Excel File in which I have some blank cells. For this data model, I'm creating groups of Pivot Charts. I've created about 100 charts already pretty quickly and had no issues whatsoever because I used only "Count" in the "Values" section.
For one group of charts, the "Average" is needed. When it's selected, I get the error message:
"We can't summarize this field with Average because it's not a supported calculation for Text data types."
At first I was quite confused as I didn't know what was causing this. After playing around with the data a bit, I've found out that somehow Power Pivot is recognizing the blank cells I have in my Data range as a Text data type.
I should also note that the blank cells are not actually blanks, there are formulas pasted in as following:
=IF('Raw Data'!D3888="","",'Raw Data'!D3888)
Is there any workaround for this?
Please feel free to let me know if you need additional info.
Best regards,
Adam
