Find the Distinct Count of most common day for products used by day of the week (1-7) distinct count

[zgoldflo]

I have bike share data that indicates the day of the week a bike was used in number format 1-7 (indicates days of the week). I want to figure out the most common days of the week a specific route was most popular i.e. for each specific route which (number or) day was most common. I believe what I need to do is a distinct count. I have organized my data into a pivot table for the top ten monthly routes. I want to figure out throughout the month, which day of the week was most common for each route.

I have tried to get a distinct count, but for some reason, that option is grayed out and does not let me select it within the Pivot Table.

Here is the Pivot Table.

Here is the source data.

Below is an image of the Distinct Count being grayed as an option in my Pivot Table

Hi

Distinct count can only be used with a datamodel pivot table.
But you can't change a normal pivot table into a datamodel pivot table - you have to create it from scratch.

Hi. What about the formula or ability to do that from the source data?

Also not sure what the difference is between the two pivot table mentioned above.

So change the source data into a table? Then distinct count will do the trick for me?

That was a question.

If I change the data source into a Table, create a Pivot Table from there, will I be able to then use Distinct Count to be able to solve the above question I asked?

It seems to me you didn't follow my links and read the articles and viewed the picture.

An Excel table is always a good start but it does not able discount count in a pivot table.
