I have a table visual in PowerBI that summarizes work hours by employee. The first column shows the employee name.
When training managers on how to use it I want to anonymize by showing employee numbers instead of names.
I tried adding a what-if parameter Anonymous with values 0 and 1 and use IF() in the DAX of a calculated column but it is not working. It ignores the parameter value.
Person = IF(Anonym[Anonym value] = 0; Time[Name]; Time[Empno])
will always show Name.
Person = IF(Anonym[Anonym value] = 1; Time[Name]; Time[Empno])
will always show Empno.
Another option if you really need to use a column and needs it to be "dynamic" is to use a PowerQuery parameter and add a new column based on it and then create your conditional. The downside of this is that you will have to refresh your query everytime you want to change the parameter

I am stuck while dynamically forming a new column based certain WHERE clause from another Table in PowerBi. To give more details, let's say I have a table with item numbers associated with a Customer Name. In another table, I have to add a new column, which will dynamically add the item numbers associated with a particular customer and append as a query parameter to a base url.
So, my first table looks like this:
The second table that I want is this:
The query parameter value in the URL, has to be dynamically based on a SELECT query with a WHERE clause and pick up the ItemNumbers using the Customer field which is common between both. So, how can this be done in PowerBi? Any help would be really appreciated :)
I have one table in my model "TableRol" if I want to summarize my Date as the string I can use CONCATENATEX;
URL = CONCATENATE(CONCATENATE("http:\\mysite.com\parametersHere\getitem?='",CONCATENATEX(VALUES('TableRol'[Date]), 'TableRol'[Date],";")),"'")
IR based on PL/SQL Function Body returning SQL Query.
How do i can create Interactive reports based on multiple table and Deferent column name.
Exp :-
Select list item return three value
1 or 2 or 3
And the function return query basen on select list value
when Value equal 1
Select name, satate, country_id from cities
when value equal 2 Return
Select country, id from country
when value equal 3 Return
Select ocean,oc_id,from oceans
The three query return different column name and value.
Ok firstly, your question is poorly written. But from what I gather, you want an SQL query that returns different things based on an input.
I dont think you even need a plsql function body for this.
Simply do something like this:
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT name as name,
state as state,
country_id as id,
1 as value
FROM cities
UNION ALL
SELECT country as name,
NULL as state,
id as id,
2 as value
FROM country
UNION ALL
SELECT ocean as name,
NULL as state,
oc_id as id,
3 as value
FROM oceans)
WHERE value = :input_parameter_value;
Because if you are trying to display a variable number of columns and constantly changing their names and such. You are gonna have a bad time, it can be done, as can everything. But afaik its not exactly simple
No objections to what #TineO has said in their answer, I'd probably do it that way.
Though, yet another option: if your Apex version allows it, you can create three Interactive Report regions on the same page, each selecting values from its own table, keeping its own column labels.
Then create a server condition for each region; its type would be Function that returns a Boolean and look like
return :P1_LIST_ITEM = 1;
for the 1st region; = 2 for the 2nd and = 3 for the 3rd.
When you run the page, nothing would be displayed as P1_LIST_ITEM has no value. Once you set it, one of conditions would be met and appropriate region would be displayed.
I'm trying to obtain the MAX of a particular column in a Power BI Report and place this as a new Measure within each ROW of the same dataset. Please see the example below.
Is this possible in DAX and via DirectQuery/LiveConnection? The report is pointing to a tabular model but due to outside factors the measure must be created in the report.
Thanks
You can accomplish this a few ways. Essentially, you need override the filter context so that the MAX function isn't just running over whatever slice you're showing in the visual. Using CALCULATE or the iterator function MAXX, set the wrap the table in the ALL() function to override the context and calculate max over all rows.
= CALCULATE(MAX([Calendar`Year]), ALL('Smithfield_Fiscal_Calendar'))
or
= MAXX(ALL('Smithfield_Fiscal_Calendar'), [Calendar`Year])
To get the breakout by date, you'll need to include a Date table in your model. PowerBI makes this possible with a few different DAX options. As an example, go to your Model tab, click 'New Table' and put in the following expression:
MyCalendar = CALENDAR(DATE(2019,1,1), DATE (2019,1,10))
This is a little trivial -- you'd want to use a useful range of dates but this one matches your example above. Next, add a column to [MyCalendar]
CalendarMonthYear = month([date]) & "-" & year([date])
Go to your budget table and add a similar field
BudgetMonthYear = month([date]) & "-" & year([date])
Go into your Model view and create a relationship between CalendarMonthYear and BudgetMonthYear. This will associate every date in the date table with the particular budget row from your budget table.
Hope it helps.
I use Power BI to create reports and visuals for large enterprise clients.
I have an interesting request from one of my clients: they would like to be able to see a summary of all filters that are applied to a given report. I used the ISFILTERED() function to create a card visual that lists the dimensions that are filtered, but they would like to be able to see which values are being shown. This works just fine when they have sliced or filtered for just one value, but how can I show when more than one is selected? My DAX is below:
Applied Filters =
var myvalues = VALUES(mytable[dimension_column])
return
IF(ISFILTERED(mytable[dimension_column]) = FALSE(),
"Not filtered",
"Column Name:" & UNICHAR(10) & mylist)
When only one value is selected in the slicer, the output is:
Column Name:
Selected Value
Obviously, when more than one value is selected in the slicer, variable mylist will have more than one value and the function fails. My question is, how can I convert the column myvalue to a list in DAX, so I can output each and every value?
What I want to get is:
Column Name:
Selected Value1,
Selected Value2,
etc.
Thank you!
One possibility is to concatenate all the values into a single string.
For example, you'd replace mylist with the string
CONCATENATEX(VALUES(mytable[dimension_column]), mytable[dimension_column], UNICHAR(10))
You're really only returning a single value for the measure, but it looks like a column.
Another approach is, instead of using a card, to simply create a table visual that just has mytable[dimension_column] for the values. This table will automatically filter as you adust slicers.
I am trying to add two currency columns in a calculated column but am getting a #NULL! error.
This seems pretty straightforward but its my first time doing this in SharePoint.
SharePoint 2010 with Excel Services available.
Have create List with required columns:
Approved Value column Type = Currency
Pending Value column Type = Currency
Total Value column
Calculated (calculation based on other columns)
Type = Currency
Formula: =[Approved Value]+[Pending Value]
The values in other columns are indeed currency, but the Total shows #NULL! for all items.
I can't see anything done incorrectly.
What should I be looking for to resolve this problem?
Try using the ISBLANK function to previously check if any of the value is null.
Reference: ISBLANK function
I ended up using NZ(Value, 0)
=NZ([Approved Value],0)+NZ([Pending Value],0)
Though not sure how NULLs ended up in field or why SharePoint couldn't deal with them without this special treatment.
