    Incorrect data in Pivot table

    Hello all!
    I have a question. Due to my work I have to analyze quite big excel files, create pivot table and analyze them. Recently I encountered this feature:
    Suppose I have this sample table:
    No. Qty
    0
    1 10
    1 10

    If I create pivot table, it will show that Sum for "Qty" for No. 1 is 2.
    If I remove the line with null Qty and refresh pivot table, it will again show that Sum for "Qty" for No. 1 is 2.
    If I create new pivot table then it will show that Sum for "Qty" for No. 1 is 20 (the right one).

    I attached sample Excel file with two kinds of pivot tables.

    Is it a normal bevaviour of Excel or this is a bug? Does anyone encounter it before? Why there is no error messages or warning, I thought I could trust Excel pivot tables, now it seems that it can distort results without any warnings in some case.

    Maybe somewhere is written that I cannot use pivot table for null data, if it is the case, where can I find it and all restrictions like that?

    Thanks in advance!
