aggregate aggravation

I had a report that now doesn't work after I modified it with the latest version of the PBI Desktop.

 

My query has all the required data with all the columns set to Text and DoNotSummarize.  With the exception of two columns that are created that take the value of the Ranking column and add the Product key onto it as a decimal (so that I can get unique numeric sorting on the rank and previously this allowed me to display the rank with out aggregation (and without aggravation too) ;-) 

 

On to the report, it uses a Matrix, and is supposed to show the products sold during the last week in desending order of the chains sales for that product in dollars on one tab and units on another.  

( ProductID (which has a sort by on the chain dollar sales rank in the Rows basket on the visual for Dollars

and a copy of ProductID called Product is used so I can sort it by the Chain Units Sales Rank for the other tab.)

 

Then I put the StoreName in the Columns basket for both tabs.

 

Now here's where the problem I'm running into occurs:

 

Previously I was able to add the StoreSalesDollars,StoreSalesDollarsRank and the StoreQtyOnHand into Values Basket and it worked like a charm.  Today I had to change the source of the data to a text file, and although everything else is the same, I have the options of First, Last, Count(distinct), Count and Quick Calc when I add these columns.  The data doesn't need to be summarized it is exactly the way I want it, but I could maybe live with it except that I'd like to use my own column name without the First, Last... being stuck on it.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.
