How to get rid of summary column on a pivot table that I exported from BI Service

I did a analyzed from excel from power bi service and I was able to pretty much build the matrix back up via a pivot table.  But there is this pesky summary column that I can't get rid of.  I turned off grand total and subtotal, but this still persists.  Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?  Thanks

Hello @wpf_

you can try to build a non-asynchronous set:

  1. PivotTable Analysis > Fields, Items, and Sets > Create Set Based on Column Elements...
  2. Delete the items that you want to dispose of.

@FrankAT ,

 

Wow that did it, Thank you! I will mark this as a solution.

 

I also have a question with exporting a report from BI service to excel (not analyze from excel).  And in this report I actually need the grand totals, but the grand totals are not correct (everything else is).  Can i @ you tomorrow with a new post?  Thanks again.

@wpf_ - Should be an option to turn off column totals

@Greg_Deckler ,

 

I already had that row and column subtotals turned off in the matrix in PBI, but when I analyzed in excel it still shows up.  

@wpf_ - Oh, I am not aware of how to turn that off in Excel, sorry, I should have looked closer at the pic!
