In icCube 5 each table could be sorted by the user by clicking on the title of a column.
This functionality doesn't seem to be automatic any more.
Is it possible for us to activate that somehow? We couldn't find anything yet.
In Version 7.0.1 this feature is implemented for icCube Pivot Tables. Thank you for that :)

I am trying to siff through a large PBI report and for that I want to be able to determine the active measures and tables in the data model. In others words, I wanna be able to see what's being used from what's unused or obsolete in the model.
Is there, by any chance, a shortcut for that?
Thanks in advance
I think what you are after is RADACAD's amazing PowerBI Helper Utility.
This utility, once installed, is integrated in to the PowerBI external tools ribbon.
See the section at the link above around removing unused fields and measures.
Remove Not-used fields If there is a field not used in any visual, filter, or other calculations, then this is a safe field to be
removed. Power BI Help can identify these fields even if they are DAX
calculated columns or measures. Using the dependency tree of the
measure, it will identify if the field is used in another calculation
that is used in a visual or filter.
I am trying to find an answer if it possible to automate creating powerBI reports for each unique value in one of columns(It's like filtering on whole report for one of the values and publish report than change value to next one and repeat steps for other values)? Is there any fast way to do it? I wrote program to filtering via link and clicking mouse than save links for each person to excel but i wonder if there is more reliable and faster way to do it. I am using PowerBI premium for user.
This is typically called "Report Bursting", or "Data Driven Subscriptions", and here's a walkthrough of how to do it with Power Automate and Power BI.
Why don't you leverage RLS instead of hardcoding filters?
We have an embedded Power BI solution (embed for customers/app owns data)
Is it possible using any Power BI APIs to, given an embedded report with a visual, to determine the sort settings for the visual.
For example, the user creates a table with one column, 'column1', say. They sort column1 descending.
We would like to, using JavaScript, analyse the visual and know that column1 is sorted in descending order.
I don't think this is currently available in the API but wanted to see if I had missed something. (I know about visual.orderBy() to SET the sort settings, we need to GET the sort settings)
Is this possible?
Thanks
You can not determine the sort settings applied to the visual, that feature is not available currently.
For Example:
a. Before applying the sorting:
console.log(visual);
b. After applying the sorting:
await visual.sortBy(sortByRequest);
console.log(visual);
Output Before :
Output After :

I want to find out if a specific LOV has been used by any pages in my application. I assume this can be done by querying APEX express views. I found a view containing LOV data - APEX_APPLICATION_LOVS but that does not help me get the list of pages utilizing the LOV. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
The easiest way is via the APEX Builder tool:
As that shows, there are 3 places they can be used:
page items
report columns
interactive reports
(though I would expect interactive grids to be there too, and perhaps facets too).
Another way to to search APEX_DICTIONARY for likely columns e.g.
select * from apex_dictionary
where column_name like '%NAMED_LOV%';
That returns:
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COL
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS
APEX_APPL_PAGE_FACETS
I don't have the definitive list, but I hope that helps.
Is there any possibility to show or hide the column in Table/Matrix visual in Power BI report by user dynamically?
For Example, I have a table view with columns COLUMN-1, COLUMN-2, COLUMN-3. Now I may have filter drop down to list all the column headers, so based on user selection (Multiple selections) Table view should get adjusted to show column values.
Since Power BI was developed based on Excel, curious to know if we are having Hide/Show column based on any condition or available in visual by default (Maybe by right-clicking on column header then show/hide it).
You can do this with the following workaround:
Create your page with the table showing both columns.
Create a bookmark, uncheck "Data"
Duplicate the page and remove the column you want to conditionally hide. Set the page as hidden.
Create a bookmark, uncheck "Data"
Add a button to the first page pointing to the 2nd bookmark
Add a button to the second page pointing to the 1st bookmark
Ensure your slicers are synced
The end user experience is they will feel like they are conditionally hiding and unhiding the column.
A bit crap and a lot of extra work but I have it working well in my implementation.
Currently it is not possible to hide columns in visual based on slicer selection, there is an idea about this issue, please vote it up.

Thanks!
This is now available in Power BI with preview feature "Field Parameter". Check the May 2022 update.
