Good evening. I am using Excel to track the progress of supplier onboarding. I have a cell that calculates the # of days elapsed using the following formula;

Excel Formula:
=IF([@[LAST ACTIONING DATE]]="","",TODAY()-[@[LAST ACTIONING DATE]])

I also have conditional formatting set up to change the text bold red if the count is greater than 14 days.

Here is the ask...I am trying to add this information to a pivot table but when I add the column to the "Values", it does not show the data. I tried formatting the cells as "Number" and still doesn't work with the "General" formatting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
 

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Can you show us a sample of your data? I think this should work just fine.

I have created a table with your data and a pivot table, and it works just fine.

Is it something with your formating maybe? why do your sample have so many cells and rectancles in another rectangle?

I just added a table from the menu and copy/pasted my info into it. Not sure why you are seeing all of it. Did you copy the same formatting I described in my original post? Would it be easier to email my original copy to you/.

Can you share your bb code? Or upload the excel somewhere and share the link here?

If figured it out. It has something to do with the conditional formatting I had set up in the worksheet that prevented the correct figures from showing up in the pivot table. I removed the conditional formatting in the worksheet. Added the values to the pivot. Then set the conditional formatting back up. It works fine now. Thank you for your time.
