Don't sum numbers all the time

Numbers tend to be auto-summed, and I want to be able to graph data points vs. the time they were received. I do not always have the option to turn off summation to use the raw values, and it's very annoying.

RE: Don't sum numbers all the time

Agree with previous. This is unacceptable. In order to have my data represented accurately I have to import more fields than my source will allow. Stop trying to do it all for us and let us use the dat without Power-BI interfering.

Unbelievable that this is still an issue. It forces us to use HUGE datasets where we could simply import a small table. So incredibly frustrating that something like "use raw value" could be overlooked for so long.

RE: Don't sum numbers all the time

it would also be good to be able to set default "do not summarize" values for a dataset instead of having to change each numeric column

So this is not possible? I've been going crazy for a while now!
