    Displaying non-numeric values in a Pivot Table

    Sorry, but this is a really basic question.

    I have two tables

    Table 1
    ID Item
    A 1
    A 2
    B 1
    B 3
    C 2


    Table 2
    Item Flag
    1 Y
    2 N
    3 N

    The two tables have a relationship through Item (using Power Pivot)

    If I create a Pivot table that has a Row for Item how can I display the Value of Flag that relates to that Item? The aggregations of Sum and Count etc only work on numbers

    If I include Flag as a Row, then it shows all possible values (i.e Y & N). i.e. I get these outcomes

    So, I guess the question is how, if you can, would you display non-numeric values in a Pivot Table?

    You'd add a measure using CONCATENATEX. You'd probably want to turn off grand totals though.
