Attempting to use an IF VLOOKUP in a conditional formatting formula and getting invalid formula - if-statement

I've got a list of data validated options that pull from another sheet in the spreadsheet (e.g. a list of options on a hidden sheet to make the drop down menu nice and neat) and I want to conditionally uncover checkboxes for options on the list that need them, but the conditional formatting doesn't like my IF VLOOKUP to uncover the square.
Right now I have it so the square is by default background colored black with the 'text' in the box black too, so the checkboxes are hidden. If you select an option with a checkbox needed, I want the formatting to clear (white background, normal text) so you see the checkbox as intended.
I've tried a few google searches but nothing seemed to clear it up for me.
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(A42,'Mastery Data
Table'!$A$25:$D$156,3,FALSE)=1,TRUE,FALSE),FALSE)
I'm using IFERROR because some options have no data in column 3 at all.

when referencing another sheet in CF you need to wrap it into INDIRECT:
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(A42,
INDIRECT("'Mastery Data Table'!$A$25:$D$156"), 3, 0)=1, TRUE, FALSE), FALSE)

Were you aware of this behavior ? (PBI filterpane over slicer visual, sellect all/none selected issue)

Hello I am trying to raise awareness about his subject I am facing this issue, I've posted on microsoft PBI community as wel, Did you even know about this, if so, how did you do to workaround this?
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Beware-Misleading-behaviour-using-Select-all-or-none-selected/m-p/1982650#M749494
As stated in the post, I have just found half a paragraph hinting about this behaviour and all the people that I've talked to did not even know it behaved this way.
TL:DR. If you use the filter panel to filer a slicer (filter on this visual) in order to restrict the selection of a slicer (so your end user does not get lost in too many options or you want a dynamic slicer showing last x months, TOP N , basically any other advanced filtering optins given using this feature).
It only visually filters the slicer so if the user ends up using "select all" or even clearing the selection, all the data would be selected even the data you (as designer) wanted to filter out. Which is misleading since the end user would see the tag "all" over the slicer selection but when clicking on it it would only show the filtered out values, so they would naturally assume that "all" means just those values and not allvalues (hidden values included).
Example
there are only two values to be selected in the slicer but the select all option actally seelcts all values including hidden ones
One thing to check first, I bet you did not apply the filtered values in the filter pane on the whole page, rather you applied it only on the visual. Try to apply that on the whole page and it seems to work for me.

Bolding values in PowerBI

I would like to bold values in a table on Power bi's canvas. Is there a way to bold a value in Power bi by using its wizards rather than programming?
Tried to search for an answer, but didn't succeed finding it.
You can change the text font style in Segoe UI (Bold) for workaround.
It seems this feature isn't currently available in Power BI.

Here is a community idea you can vote on if you want this implemented:
https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11602134-additional-font-formatting-bold-italic-underlin
One alternative is to change the color of values, which you can do by selecting your table, going to the Format tab on the right, and find the Conditional Formatting section. (The Field formatting does not let you specify which rows to format, nor does it have any text markup besides color). In the Conditional Formatting section you can play around with the Font Color options by toggling it on and selecting values and colors.
Unfortunately this isn't exactly what you were looking for but this is probably the best way to distinguish values in a Power BI table currently.

How to overlay a line plot over a bar graph in APEX?

Right now I have a stacked bar graph and a line graph on one page using apex 'create a region' functionality. I'd like to combine these to one chart. I am thinking if you pehaps create a custom xml code in order to do so, but i'm not sure if that's the right direction to go to. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
No need to fiddle with XML. Create a second series in the chart using the SQL of your second chart and set the 'Series type' attribute to 'Line'.
Check "Multiple Y-Axis" in the display settings to plot your second series with a separate set of Y values. This means the number range offered in both series can be different scales. This can rescale as you show/hide specific series, as offered in one of the Legend properties.
Here is a link to a sample application by Hilary from the APEX team, plenty of examples in there regarding what is possible:

Formatting SAS report through EG Report Builder

I am new to SAS and I'm starting out with EG. I am trying to add a border around several items in a report in order to group them into sections. For example in my mockup three list reports are combined into one section on the left and 2 pie charts are combined to form another section on the right.
I know you can arrange tables and images through the modify report button in EG, but I would really like to be able to have borders around groups of related tables, or figures.

Display value labels on multi-series google column charts

Is anyone know wether there is a way to display the values of a multi-series google column chart over each columns ?
Muhammad Tayyab Shei succeded in making it, but for a single-serie : see put labels on top of inside bar in google interactive bar chart
Since the annotation role is not supported for column charts yet, it cannot be done with a multi-column chart (the single-series version works by using a combo-chart which allows annotations for the line chart portion).
The easiest way to implement this would be to create a javascript function to either display the tooltips full time, or to draw custom tooltips and turn them on (using HTML-enabled Tooltips, for instance).
