Using "Analyze in Excel," I find that when I open the dataset in Excel columns (as opposed to measures) that are dates are formatted as text, not dates. There is no way to change the formatting.
I should also add that the pivot table recognizes the field as a date as I'm able to group by month/week.
THis is having a big impact on my users ability to sort our data.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Am I doing something incorrectly when setting up my data model?
@CatPhish ,
The issue is caused by that Power Pivot treats Date columns as text. I find several threads stating the same issue, I would recommend you report this issue in PowerPivot forum.
