Calculated field
I have 11 calculated fields for each record. Each uses a case statement to determine it's value. I also have another calculated field that sums up the other eleven.
I do not seem to be able to show that last field as numeric field in my chart.
Example
One of the 11 fields is called "MatrixAlignmentPre" it is based on a dropdown box in Access and saves either a null, 0, 1 or 2
the case statement is as follows-
CASE [AlignmentPreWS]
when 0 then 0
when 1 then [AlignmentPreWS]
when 2 then [AlignmentPreWS]*8
else null
end
the other ten are the sam using different Access fields.
The final field "MatrixTotalScore"
and has a calculation of -
sum([MatrixAlignmentPre]+[MatrixCompellingVisionPre]+[MatrixDataAvailablePre]) (and 8 more)
When I drag that to the drop column it doesn't stay.

Do you have aggregation turned off perchance? Analysis->Aggregate Measures must be on to use an aggregate calculation (one that includes SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), MAX(), etc...)
