Try to do the following:
- Check out your page.
- Right click and Edit file in an advanced mode.
- From the above ribbon > Click on code view tools > Click on Parse HTML.
- Go back to insert tab > The Data view should be now enabled.
If the data view still disabled,
- Make sure that you are trying to add data view in the correct place within
Web Part Zonebelow<ZoneTemplate>then click on Parse HTML and The Data view should be now enabled.
If the data view still disabled,
So maybe The current site Master Page is Oslo Master Page. It looks like a bug in SharePoint designer 2013 where you can't add DataView to a page in a site has Oslo Master Page. and to overcome this issue,
- You should temporarily change the master page from Oslo to Seattle.
- Add your DataView in your page in SharePoint Designer.
- Go back to change the Master Page again from Seattle to Oslo.
