PivotTable will not group ANYTHING - excel

I have done some Googling and found other people had issues when their DATE fields were not true dates, had blank values, or where date values were not actual dates (e.g. 1/33/2015). However, none of these are true for my table.
I am also unable to group regular text fields into a new group like I used to be - I am working with ticket closures and want to Group "Cancelled" and "Completed" tickets into a Closed group and then all else into an Open Group.
I was able to do this on another Excel sheet a few weeks ago but now the option is completely grayed out.
Count of ETC Column Labels
Row Labels Closed-AS IS Complete New Pending Grand Total
John Doe 2 365 367
1/2/2015 2 2
1/5/2015 1 1
1/8/2015 1 1
1/15/2015 1 1
1/16/2015 1 1
1/20/2015 2 2
1/21/2015 2 2
1/22/2015 2 2
1/23/2015 1 1
1/26/2015 2 2
1/30/2015 1 1
2/2/2015 1 1
2/3/2015 2 2
2/4/2015 3 3
2/5/2015 1 1
2/6/2015 1 1
EDIT:
AHAH! Okay, so I've narrowed it down (still not resolved though). I am able to GROUP/UNGROUP utilizing an extrenal data source (in this case it's a .iqy file - or SharePoint List/Export). I am UNABLE to GROUP/UNGROUP when referencing a table defined on the actual workbook or on the Data Model.

This is not much of an answer but here's what I found.
PowerPivot, apparently, does NOT allow for GROUPING/UNGROUPING so if your data is added to PowerPivot's data model these options will be grayed out. Instead, you will have to "force" the data by creating new columns with whatever grouping logic you can build in DAX and then create a hierarchy out of them.

Trying to automate the numbering of Excel rows, but only semi sequentially, based on conditions

I'm trying to get a system set up on a data compilation sheet in excel. Going in and adding all the new information, and then deleting the old information has become extraordinarily tedious. I'll type out what I'm trying to accomplish, as an example.
A
B
C
Name
Date
Desired AutoNumber
Item 1
01/17/23
1
Item 1
01/17/23
1
Item 1
01/17/23
1
Item 1
01/06/23
2
Item 1
01/02/23
3
Item 1
01/02/23
3
Item 2
01/17/23
1
Item 2
12/24/22
2
Item 2
12/16/22
3
Item 2
11/18/22
4
Item 3
01/16/23
1
Item 3
01/16/23
1
Item 3
01/13/23
2
Item 3
01/11/22
3
Item 3
01/08/23
4
Item 3
12/26/22
5
Item 3
12/26/22
5
Wanting to use this format, as the most recent 5-7 dates per item are needed to remain. (This is for an online games' external assistant system)
What I've found either only numbers the rows based on item name, or based on the dates per item name, which isn't what I'm trying to make happen. What I've used so far is:
=countif($A$2:A2,A2) (which numbers based on item name) or
=countifs($A$2:A2,A2, $C$2:C2, C2) (which numbers based on the dates per item name, which is closer to what I'm looking for, but not in the right format)
By also adding in offset, it does the same thing.
=countif(offset($A$2:A2,0,0),A2)
I'm not sure if there's even a way to number it the way I'm looking to, since it's not numbering within a specified date parameter. I've been trying to do this without using a macro, since the information is going into a larger database, and certain information can't be deleted. Is there a way to do this using a formula?

substitute a value in a cell with its class, Excel

I got two Excel database. One, regarding only cities and their land, has two main columns:
database1
city land
1 1
2 1
3 2
4 2
The other database shows observations and the city where they happened.
database2
- city
observation1 4
observation2 3
observation3 1
observation4 1
I'd like to substitute each cities with the corresponding land, to get something like that:
- city land
observation1 4 2
observation2 3 2
observation3 1 1
observation4 1 1
How do you think I can achieve that?
solved with xlookup (or cerca.x in italian), I'll show you how:
landdatabase2 =XLOOKUP(citydatabase2;citydatabase1;landdatabase1)
wonderful! thanks everyone

How to create a count table of two variables in excel pivot

I am struggling with creating a count table of two variables at the same time. Ultimately, I would like to create a bar graph of the table.
Assuming I have two items for a sample of firms and I just want a summary table of the answer count.
Firm Item1 Item2
1 1 1
2 2 1
3 1 2
4 1 2
Based on this answer, I can easily create the summary table for Item 1 telling me that "1" appears three times for item 1 and two times in Item 2. But I cant easily create a Pivot table showing this jointly.
I'm not sure I understood correct, but is it COUNTIF() you need?
In D1 type:
=COUNTIF(B:B, "1")
that should give you result 3

FCR calculations in excel

I am trying to work the (First Contact Resolution) FCR in excel however so success.
Does anyone know an automated formula used in excel?
We have been trying to use formulas to check how many times a customer with the same customer ID calls us in 7 days.
Assuming your requirement
ID Date Calls Count in last 7 days from today
1 13-Mar-17 2
2 14-Mar-17 0
5 15-Mar-17 1
1 16-Mar-17 2
3 17-Mar-17 1
5 18-Mar-17 1
7 19-Mar-17 1
9 20-Mar-17 1
1 21-Mar-17 2
13 22-Mar-17 1
2 23-Mar-17 0
17 24-Mar-17 0
5 25-Mar-17 1
21 26-Mar-17 0
Putting ID in Column A and Dates in Column B and records starts from row 2
put this formula in Cell "C2":
=COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,B:B,">="&TODAY()-6,B:B,"<="&TODAY())
and drag it all way down to see the number of calls
or put this formula if you want to calculate last 7 days from the date in sheet:
=COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,B:B,">="&B2-6,B:B,"<="&B2)
Please let me know if you meant something else as I tried my best to assume the senario.

How to create a ranged frequency table using Excel Cube functions

What I want is to create something like this (see image) in Excel that pulls in the frequency of my chosen category from a table within my PowerPivot data model. The output would also need to be dynamically filtered via a cell reference.
Using the below data set as an example:
Week 1 A
Week 1 A
Week 1 A
Week 1 A
Week 1 A
Week 1 B
Week 1 B
Week 1 C
Week 1 D
Week 2 A
Week 2 A
Week 2 A
Week 2 A
Week 2 A
Week 2 A
If I filtered to Week 1 through my set expression, the following output would be produced
1 2
2-4 1
5+ 1
However, if filtered to Week 2, this output would be produced
1 0
2-4 0
5+ 1
I say 'set expression' because I am assuming the way to do this is through the CUBESET function possibly with a MDX FILTER function and the CUBESETCOUNT functions though I am open to other suggestions. Even though the example doesn't show it, I need the expression to filter multiple dimensions from my cube, in particular, date, which is found in my calendar table.
I also understand that I could create specific measures within PowerPivot to handle this (sample formula below), but I would like to know if this is possible via the CUBESET function.
Freq (5+):=CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT([myColumn]),
FILTER(myTable,
COUNTROWS(FILTER('myTable', [myColumn] = EARLIER([myColumn]))) >=5 )
)
I am also open to creating a helper column within my Powerpivot table.
Thanks,
