Hello,

I've been tasked with analyzing how much promo activity has affected sales.  I'd like to be able to bring in text to a pivot table that shows if there was a promotion for that week.  I've tried doing this with the DAX option, but then it seems the SUM function won't work. On the attachment on Sheet 2 is the setup I'd like to have with the sum of sales and unit movement, but I don't want to to make two lines for WK 1 of November.  Is there a work around where the promo text activity would in rows going across like on Sheet 3?

SUM function does not work because you have text in Sales columns, make sure you have ONLY numbers, remove those "-". (see sheet 1 cell D64 for an example.)
