Excel PivotTable Distinct Count shows 16 instead of 6 unique items

My previous post was deleted

I'm testing Distinct Count in Microsoft Excel using a PivotTable and something doesn't make sense.

I created a simple dataset with a single Product column containing 16 rows, but many of them are duplicates (Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Water, Milk, Bread). There should only be 6 unique products.

I created the PivotTable like this:

  • Insert → PivotTable
  • Checked Add this data to the Data Model
  • Dragged Product → Rows
  • Dragged Product → Values
  • Changed Value Field Settings → Distinct Count

But the PivotTable still shows Distinct Count of Product = 16, which is just the total number of rows.
