I have the results of a survey in an excel file that I would like to analyze in PowerBI. The fact is that I thought I could have a drop down item so that the user can select the question they want to see the results of. In addition, various filters such as the age and the position of the respondent's respondents. Finally there would be another element that would be a graph in order to be able to visualize the results. I have tried to test all three elements, but they do not connect with each other. That is to say, when I select a question from the drop-down menu and then select a filter, the graph does not update. Do you have any idea?

I have a report like this:
It's got three tabs, based on three separate SQL queries (and Power bi queries) of our database.
One tab is based on all the subjects we have in our program
One tab is a query of a database with all the staff associated with all the
subjects in our database
The third tab (that I am working on now) is from a query of all the subjects in our database that need reconsent. The way I envision all three tabs working is that you start in the first tab, filter to the subjects you care about, and then those slicers/filters affect the next two tabs.
My problem is:
I dont know how to get the slicers/filters in the first tab to affect the others. I was able to get the second tab linked by just merging those two queries (there's pretty much 100% overlap) and just using "one" dataset for both.
I've tried "manage relationships" and created a relationship between the first query subject mrn and the third query subject mrn... but even though there's a 'relationship' between the two... thats not enough for slicers on the first tab to affect anything on the third tab. How do I do that?
I asked this on the power bi forum as well and was given some followup questions that I'll add info from here:
The sync slicers setting is on:
And if I go look at the table on the third tab, it says a bunch of slicers are currently affecting it:
(I changed the slicer values between taking these screenshots, dates look different in each)
Also here is a photo of the relationship between queries in the model:
So to repeat/rephrase:
Let's say I use slicers on the first tab to filter to 10 people coming in the next week (which are in one query). Lets say 1 of those people exists in the third query as someone who needs reconsent. How do I get only that one guy to show up on the third tab with his info from that query?
I wanted suggestions from the community as to which chart should be used to depict the Parent-Child/Successor-Predecessor relationship in Power BI. I'm using Azure boards as a data source. Here is my sample data source.
I want to show each work item id in the center and its Predecessor on the top left and successor on the bottom right. With that, I want to arrange my items based on iteration.
Here is how I'm trying to visualize my data.
I don't need links to the Microsoft Custom Visuals Page. I know that it exists. I'm expecting somebody to point out to a visual in the market place that could help me with my scenario.
Not sure if there any exact option for data presentation as per your design/requirement or not. But to serve the purpose, you can try with "Multi-row card" and the presentation will be something like below-
You can apply some Styling in the visual, but it will not like your sample requirement I guess :(
Here 2 column is basically 2 different "Multi-row card" visual.
In first visual, applied filter with Iteration = 1
In second visual, applied filter with Iteration = 2
For better presentation purpose, I replaced NULL value with a "-" in column "Predecessos ID" & "Source ID Title"
so, I got 3 xlsx full of data already treated, so I pretty much just got to display the data using the graphs. The problem seems to be, that Powerbi aggregates all numeric data (using: count, sum, etc.) In their community they suggest to create new measures, the thing is, in that case I HAVE TO CREATE A LOT OF MEASURES...Also, I tried to convert the data to text and even so, Powerbi counts it!!!
any help, pls?
There are several ways to tackle this:
When you pull a field into the field well for a visualisation, you can click the drop down in the field well and select "Don't summarize"
in the data model, select the column and on the ribbon select "don't summarize" as the summarization option in the Properties group.
The screenshot shows the field well option on the left and the data model options on the right, one for a numeric and one for a text field.
And, yes, you never want to use the implicit measures, i.e. the automatic calculations that Power BI creates. If you want to keep on top of what is being calculated, create your own measures, and yes, there will be many.
Edit: If by "aggregating" you are referring to the fact that text values will be grouped in a table (you don't see any duplicates), then you need to add a column with unique values to the table so all the duplicates of the text values show up. This can be done in the data source by adding an Index column, then using that Index column in the table and setting it to a very narrow with to make it invisible.
I've trying out Power BI to solve some visualization problem in my organization and I've been working on desktop version of Power BI to try out its features.
I'm stuck at few issues and cannot find our way out of this.This is a sample view I've been trying to create:
Figure 1:
1
We've a dataset containing Product Opinion across gender, Age Group, Geography etc. and we want to pivot the opinion across different parameters as shown above.But when we use Matrix view of Power BI and add two parameters in columns, it creates a drill down view as shown below:
Figure 2: 2
On adding multiple fields in the column section we get an option to move down to next hierarchy as shown below:
Figure 3:3
Although we have the option to move down to hierarchy ,we are unable to show then side by side as we've shown in Figure 1.
Is there a way we can get the visualization as given in Figure 1 ?
Also, Currently the columns and rows are automatically sorted alphabetically. Is there a way we can adjust the column and row position as per our needs?
To sort the rows in a custom order, you will have to create an index table. The below link walks you through the steps involved:
http://www.excelnaccess.com/custom-sorting-in-power-bi/
Now, to achieve the visualization you are looking for, the only way I can think of is to create two matrix visualizations (One for gender and other for age group) and place them in such a way, that it gives the illusion of the same table. There might be a better way to do this, but I these workarounds work just fine. Hope this helps.
I currently have two tables: A "Send ID" table and an "Affiliation Table" each based on a column of customer IDs.
No columns have purely distinct values so I cannot create a many to one relationship.
I would like to visualize the Send IDs based on the Affiliations as shown here:
Desired Output
I can work with either having the Send IDs repeat per affiliation in the new desired table or have them unique per affiliation - either way works with me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
noyraz's solution in establishing a many to many relationship based on the customerID should suit your needs.
If you are required to find out where a customer appears in the affiliation table or sendID table, I highly recommend performing a full outer join in the query editor.
Using the picture below, right click on any of the tables, and select reference.
Reference Screenshot
Then rename the table if you like
Click on Merge Queries
In the drop down, select the other table you didnt reference, then click on both customerIDs
select full other join.
Full Outer Join labled screenshot
Expand the new table column
deselect the ID if you like.
Expanding Column Screenshot
If there are occurrences where they don't appear (useful for sending and delivered tables), you can do visual level filters to see where either the Affiliation or SendID is null/blank.
when you create Many To Many relationships like Here
all you have to do next it's just visual this like you desire
hope I understand your question right
