Created attachment 160698 [details] coloumn B in pivot table should be threated as one value
Realized the headline was bad because after I uploaded I realized that one occurrence (cell E21 in Sheet1) was actually formatted as number. Steps to reproduce: * Open attachment. * Sheet1, go to cell E21 * Format cell and select "Text". * Change active sheet to Pivot Table_Sheet1_1 * Refresh the pivot table. Expected result: * Row 2 and row 3 should collapse and become one row. Observed result: * No change - Row 2 and row 3 continues to stay as if it was two different values.
Changing cell's format doesn't change cell's content, you need to edit E21 and reintroduce the value (add and delete a space to the end)to get it being text. Then pt works as you expect.
