I want to divide a report table in different sections. When I right click on a cell I can define it as section cell, meaning different values will define the different sections. However when this cell is a formula, the option to define it as section cell is not activated. How can I define my sections based on this cell?
 
Try to create the formula as a variable and if it is evaluated as Measures then you can't define the Section based on that.

To expand on Sri answer:

1. Always be sure to assign formulae to variables to keep things tidy

2. Using functions like count,sum, avg etc will ALWAYS evaluate the variable to a measure :(

3. If you need such an object to apply section or break upon, you should try and create a universe object on it.
(if at all possible)
