    Exclamation I can't insert a chart in pivot table

    Hello!

    I can't insert a chart in the Pivot Table.

    It is probable because Excel doesn't see the text as numbers.

    I tried to change the format from general to numbers, but it is useless.

    What can I do?

    Download: https://easyupload.io/wmy983 (I am sorry, the forum does not let me to upload it because the file exceeds the size limit)

    Thank you!

    You can try the following to post on the board( external links are potentially unsafe)
    - save your wbk as xlsb instead of xlsx (should make the wbk smaller)
    - downsize the file

    Saving as excel binary workbook still does not work, file is too large... I tried also to upload as .rar, but still too large.

    One way to make text looking like numbers real numbers is :

    - Make sure you have
    - remove ALL column manual alignment - text is now left aligned and numbers right-aligned
    - select the range with "false" numbers - Data -Text to columns - Finish
    If " numbers" are now right-aligned, they are real numbers ( formatting is how XL shows data to the outside world only, the underlying value is just a number)

    If this does not work post a small sheet with some of the "text numbers" ( including empty cells if necessary)

    I deleted a lot of lines to upload the file.

    So, you basically say that in the way that the attached file is right now, I don't stand a chance; I just should change the text to numbers?

    Thanks!
