Default pivot table "sum of "-field is not working

Within the pivot field i want to see the sum of a field (external list), but
the function returns "0". "Count of" works fine and correct. The field is
formatted to number format. Any suggestions ?

Even though the field is formatted as numbers, Excel is probably seeing
the dates in the source table as text. There are some techniques here
that you can use to convert the text to dates, so they can be summed
correctly:

Hi Debra,
thanks for that hint, but didn't help. To make sure that the formats are
correct, I tried the function "Sumif", which works perfectly. Do you have any
other idea?
Thanks in advance. Gabi
