If I add a Measure to a Text Box that simply calls the TODAY() function, the date becomes a hyperlink on the Report Tab.
How do I disable this hyperlink? I simply want to show today's date.
The steps that I used to add a Measure to the text box are below.
In the Data Page, create a Measure named Report Date = TODAY().
On the Visuals Page, click Text box in the Insert group of the Home tab of the ribbon bar.
Click + Value
In the text box labeled How would you calculate this value, type Report Date.
Click Save.
The text box now shows todays date. However, it is also a hyperlink with nowhere to go.
The only alternative is a Card or a Table.
I was able to produce a nice business card by using a calculated column like:
CardText = [clientdescription] & UNICHAR(10) & [ServiceContactName] & UNICHAR(10) & [ServiceAddress1] & UNICHAR(10) & [ServiceCity] & ", " & [ServiceState] & " " & [ServiceZipCode]
and set the Text box to CardText.
The UNICHAR(10) function embeds a line break in the CardText string.
This is nice because you can left-align the text (which you cannot do with a Card Visual).
This also updates when aligned with a Slicer.
However, the Text box shows the CardText as a hyperlink. There is no hyperlink address, and therefore, nothing to remove.
A text box that simply allows us to set text, alignment and all font properties (color, weight, font, size, italics, underline, bold, etc.) would be a godsend.
When the report is published, there will be no hyperlink behaviour on the date in the text box. The hyperlink behaviour is only present in Power BI desktop. Clicking on the hyperlink will open up the settings for the value, so you can edit them.
And you can totally control the font, size, color, etc of that text. Just select the date as it shows in the text box and use the formatting tools. Like with Constantia font in 16 pt and pink.
If you don't want the hyperlink behaviour, consider using the measure in the Title of the text box instead of the body. You can also add the measure to the title of any other visual. To do that, you first need a measure that returns text, since the Title of a visual cannot show dates.
ReportDateText = format(TODAY(),"dddd, dd MMM YYYY")
Now you can edit the title property of a visual.
Turn the title on
Click the formula button to open the dialog
Select the measure with the text version of the date
The result shows in the visual's title.

If you are trying to filter a visualization, you need to:
Click the visualization to select it.
Click the "Filter" button on the left of the screen.
Click "Add filter"
Select the column you want to use for the filter (in this case "gap point value").
Edit the filter, and select the value "REVIEW", then click "Apply".

Whan I created a column in an interactive report that display a checkbox.
The header of that column is also a HTML code
But when I go in the "interative report "Action" menu and choose the column I what to display, the escaped HTML code is displayed.
There's a way to display another string instead of the HTML code ?
I am trying to change the value of a single cell in power bi. When I go into the "data" view then right click and then go to "edit query" I have the option for "replace values". This works like a find and replace, the issue I am having is that if there are multiple cells with the same values they will all get changed. How can I just edit a single cell??
Unfortunately it is not as easy as just editing the cell. If you do not have an index/id column in your table then add one (there is a button on the toolbar to do this).
Then create a new custom column in M (PowerQuery / the data prep language of PowerBI), along the lines of:
NewColumn = IF ([Index] = "Index Number" and [YourColumn] = "<your value>")
THEN "The new text"
ELSE [YourOriginalColumn]
Rename or remove the original column and rename NewColumn to the original column name.
I have a date field and a interactive grid. I am trying to generate the Interactive grid based on the value inputted in the date field.
I am trying to write the query as below :
select pap.effective_start_date , pap.effective_end_date
from per_all_people_f pap
where :SELECT_DATE between pap.effective_start_date and
pap.effective_end_date
Here, SELECT_DATE is the name of the Date field (datatype Date picker). I am writing a dynamic action on Change of Date field, and refreshing the interactive grid region.
But when I change the value in Date field, it doesn't return any rows.
I have done a similar change where my interactive grid was based on a dropdown. There I had to set the "page action on selection" to Submit, and it worked. But here, since it is a Date field, the "Page Action on selection" property doesn't appear on the page .
Can somebody please suggest, how can I achieve this.
You need to explicitly convert your bind variables, which are treated as strings, to dates.
to_date(:SELECT_DATE)
The format mask will come from the application properties, or you can be explicit with that, too.
I have a Power-Bi Report where I need to show the hyperlink in the card or table conditionally. the report is having Account_id as slicer value.
If an account_id results more than 4 records in the visual, I need to add a extra row with text "More.." in it. Reference image is below.
Thanks in advance
I don't if it's possible to get exactly what you want, but here's my attempt. Power BI still isn't great if you need a lot of control over formatting.
First, create a ranking column:
Rank = RANKX(
FILTER(ALL(Table1),
Table1[account_id] = EARLIER(Table1[account_id])),
Table1[Partners], , ASC)
Next, a column that displays the top ones and "More..." for any possible 5th items.
Display = IF(Table1[Rank] > 5,
BLANK(),
IF(Table1[Rank] < 5,
Table1[Partners],
"More..."))
Finally, a column that contains the desired URL for the "More..." rows:
Link = IF(Table1[Display] = "More...", "http://www.URL.com", BLANK())
Here's what my sample data table looks like:
Then you can set up a table with the Display and Link column. Make sure to choose "Don't summarize" for the field and choose URL icon on under values formatting options to get the link icon instead of a URL. You'll probably also want to filter out blanks in your visual fitter settings.
For the right-hand table above I changed the column header texts to "Partners" and " " in the table Values box.
