hi I am trying to redo an analytic which is already there in Spotfire to Power Bi. There is calculated column Max([ Date]) over ([ContentId]) .
Can anyone help me with converting this calculated column in Power Bi
You could use something similar to the following calculation:
Calc_Column = CALCULATE(MAX(Table[Date]),ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[ContentID]))
Replace "Table" with the name of your table and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.

I have this excel formula, how can I get around to translate this into a Power BI Measure in DAX. Also in excel we have the Today() function, how can I define 'today' in Power BI DAX?
=IF(ISNUMBER([#[StartDate]]),
IF(ISNUMBER([#ActualStartDate]),IF([#ActualStartDate]-[#[StartDate]]>=1,"Late",IF([#ActualStartDate]-[#[StartDate]]<0,"Early","On-Time")),
IF([#[StartDate]]>TODAY(),"Targeted","Running-Late")),
IF(ISNUMBER([#ActualStartDate]),"Started","Not-Started"))
Just wonder Is there an Excel to DAX translator available :)
I managed to create a calculated column, as below. I wonder if it is possible to create this as a "Measure" instead.
Calc_Status_col = if(isnumber('table'[planned_start].[Date]),
if(ISNUMBER('table'[actual_start].[Date]),if('table'[actual_start].[Date]-'table'[planned_start].[Date]>=1,"Late",if('table'[actual_start]-'table'[planned_start].[Date]<0,"Early","On-Time")),
if('table'[planned_start].[Date]>TODAY(),"Targeted","Running-Late")),
if(ISNUMBER('table'[actual_start].[Date]), "Started", "Not-Started"))
Is there a way to replicate the formula below in excel onto a Power BI measure?
I want for each company to return the total number of countries it applied for.
Many thanks in advance

I am trying to redo an analytic which is already there in Spotfire to Power BI. There is calculated column:
= DenseRank(If([Assessed]="Yes",[Date],Null),"desc",[Application Content Id])
Can anyone help me with converting this calculated column to Power BI?
You can try the following formula:
Rank = RANKX(Table,IF(Table[Assessed]="Yes",Table[Effective Date],BLANK()),Table[Application Content ID],DESC,Dense)
Looks like you are closing the brace before declaring the rank as dense. Give the above calculation a try and let me know if the issue persists.
I have a power bi report with live connection to the SSAS cube. I have a numeric column which I wanted to convert to text using DAX, since its a live-conection i cannot change this on power bi end. is there a way ?
You can use the format function in dax,
For example you can add a new column as the following example:
New_Column = FORMAT(Table1[NumericColumn];"General Number")
Get this example from the source in Pre-Defined Numeric Formats for the FORMAT Function
Hope this can help you!
I have an rdat field that I have to convert to a date field which I know how to do in sql but am new to DAX and I'm not sure how to do this
CONVERT(CHAR(10), DATEADD(d, RDAT_ENTERED +5843, 0), 1)
in Power BI. I can fix on the sql side so that it just brings in the data but I would still like to know how this would look in BI.
It seems your data uses the SQL SERVER EPOCH to represent dates so RDAT_ENTERED + 5843 means a determinated number of days from 1/1/1900. You can use that information to convert it to human dates via DAX or Power Query.
Create a calculated column either in Dax or Power Query (informally known as "M")
DAX in Power BI and Power Pivot
HumanDate = DATE(1900,1,1) + [RDAT_ENTERED] + 5843
M language in Power Query
=Date.AddDays(DateTime.FromText("1900-01-01"), [RDAT_ENTERED] + 5843)
I realize the context of your question and recognize the excellent answer by #alehandro. However, a few suggested best practices:
SQL is a BI tool
Transformations to standard data types should be at as low a level as possible
Magic numbers should not be used DECLARE #EPOCH_RDAT DATE = { d '1916-01-01' };
Function parameters should be used as intended: SELECT DATEADD(DAY, RDAT_ENTERED, #EPOCH_RDAT);
