Field grouping/grouping not working in pivot table
You still have texts in the source table
Most probably values were returned by formula like =IF(1,number,""). Other words cells are not blank, they have empty string value. Even if in filter they are mentioned as Blanks
If select filter table on "blanks" only, press Del (other words clean such cells), refresh PivotTable, we will see that (blank) appears in it and grouping is available

In the source table of your sample file there was mix of numbers and texts. If keep only numbers grouping works
And it's better to switch off Show Formulas flag on ribbon.
In general it's doesn't matter the value was added to the cell manually or by formula.
Thanks.
Yes that can be a problem it seems. And yes there is text in the example file. Maybe that was a bad example, because if i delete text from cells the problem still exist.
I added a new example file without text. It would be nice if you can find the fix needed! Thanks!

SergeiBaklan Make sure that you do not check the Add to Data Model checkbox. This will allow your data to be grouped.
