    How to move text from the value field in pivot tables

    When I try to do a pivot table, I lose the text values. I tried to split the column but it does not work for me.

    Re: How to move text from the value field in pivot tables

    So what should end result look like?

    In general, you can't have text values in Value field of pivot table.
    Exceptions being, DAX measure that evaluates to single text value. Ex: Measure:=IF(HASONEVALUE(Table[Column]),"Blah",BLANK())
    Which requires Data Model (PowerPivot)

    You can have text value in all other fields (Row, Column or Page).
