Using =GoogleFinance("EURUSD","price",StartDate,EndDate) produces two columns of results:
The date and the currency rate on that date. Great! Except that it's unclear what timezone it is using.
I tried changing the timezone of the sheet (File -> Spreadsheet settings) but when I re-ran the formula the data did not change at all. ie. with the spreadsheet set to London time it says EURUSD closed at 1.17093 on the 23rd May 2018 at 23:58.
But when I change the spreadsheet to New York time and re-ran the formula it still says EURUSD closed at 1.17093 on the 23rd May 2018 at 23:58.
So if the date/time is independent of the sheet settings, then what timezone is it using?

I'm attempting to write a formula for excel that will look at 3 different columns of data in a query table that I'm pulling from my teams sharepoint site. I'm trying to have a Yes/No result given.
The formula I've written so far is
=IF(AND(ISTEXT(Governance_Master_List__2[Is the check c]="Yes")+(AND(ISTEXT(Governance_Master_List__2[Merged Month and Year Due]="January 2023")+(AND(ISTEXT(Governance_Master_List__2[Frequency]="Weekly")))))),"Yes","No")
So, In this example I want the formula to look at [Is the check c] for a "Yes", then Look at the [Merged month and year due] for January 2023, and then look at [Frequency] for "Weekly", and if all 3 of those are met to show the result of Yes onto another worksheet.
So far the formula isn't throwing an error when making it, but it only returns the No result, even when I ensure that all the Weekly, January 2023 entries are showing as Yes.
I'm very new to excel in terms of formulas and am learning as I go. I feel like, because the refernce query table i'm looking at has tons of different values (eg, the frequency has weekly, 6 monthly, monthly, quarterly etc and that there are 12 months to choose from) that the formula is stopping because its looking at and not ignoring those other options, hence the constant false result.
I've tried the following variations with no result..
=IF(AND(ISTEXT(Governance_Master_List__2[Is the check c]="Yes")(AND(ISTEXT(Governance_Master_List__2[Merged Month and Year Due]="January 2023")(AND(ISTEXT(Governance_Master_List__2[Frequency]="Weekly")))))),"Yes","No")
=IF(AND('Imported data'!C1:C200="Weekly")+(AND('Imported data'!E1:E200="January 2023")+(AND('Imported data'!H1:H200="Yes"))),"Yes","No")
=IF(AND('Imported data'!C1:C200="Weekly")(AND('Imported data'!E1:E200="January 2023")(AND('Imported data'!H1:H200="Yes"))),"Yes","No")
The output excel sheet is to show our quarterly compliance reporting, i'm simple trying to automate the process of entering the data into that report, as the teams use a sharepoint list to enter their compliance tasks.
Anyone have a suggestion on how I can get this working? Eventually it'll be used to populate a number of different yes/no report cells based on the relevant month and frequency of the check.
hope you're doing well.
I'm a newbie to PowerBI and I'd want to convert the decimal time/date column values into hours of the time to plot the info over a 24-hour timeline. I was able to achieve this in tableau and as it automatically detects the hours and can easily be able to plot the info. I was a bit close in achieving this in powerBI as I converted the date/time column to time and tried plotting but there's huge noise and looks more cluttered as it took every change in seconds/minutes (the bottom snippet). I've attached the snippets for reference, can anyone pls try to help me on this ?
In Power BI it's recommended to split the DateTime column into separate Date and Time columns. This is both for performance reasons. Over a year a DateTime column with 1sec granularity can have 30M different values, which is much more data than storing one column with 365 values, and one with 86,400 values. And so that your Date column can link to a Date Dimension to provide other DateTime hierarchy attributes, like FiscalQuarter, DayOfWeek, etc.
In Power Query select the DateTime column and go to --> Add Column --> Time -- > Time Only. Then change the data type of the DateTime column to Date.
This also solves your reporting problem as you can simply put the Time column on the X axis.
If you want a custom format string for the time you can add a calculated column in Power Query like
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "TimeDesc", each DateTime.ToText(#date(2020,1,1)&[Time], [Format="h tt"]))
And configure the new column with a "Sort by Column" of Time.
I have a dataset which is containing data from 2015 to latest and dataset is refreshing on daily basis. So I need to set default start date and end date for 2 years from latest date as by default. But User can also see the previous data by changing the date selection. How can I set the default date range for last 2 years including today?
We can easily perform day, month, year filtering with the slicer option we have selected from the visualisation section.
enter image description here
In the dateadded slicer that we see in the image, we can perform the filtering process we want from the options located in the upper right corner.
I follow the following blog http://sqljason.com/2018/03/display-last-n-months-selected-month-using-single-date-dimension-in-powe... in order to display Display Last N Months & Selected Month using Single Date Dimension in Power BI.
I've an issue when trying to display month-year when there is no data in the fact table sales.

How to show to show for example October, november and december 2015 as an example?
I downloaded your PBIX file and looked through it.
I am unsure what you exactly want to see, because your report has a few quirks in it.
I'll try to sum them up:
You have a 'select month' drop down menu ánd a slider for selecting the number of months (As 'sales for last x months). This doesn't work. Since you now need to manually select the wanted months in the drop down menu with CTRL+Click (On each month) ánd you need to use the slider.
Next to that, your calculations seem to be wrong. If I only select Dec-16 I get 70. If I select Nov-16 and Dec-16, the sales in Dec-16 suddenly become 70 and Nov-16 takes over. If I select until July-16, July-16 gets 70 and Dec-16 gets 120.. I don't know if this is how you want it but it looks like strange behaviour.
A good tip for measures. If you sum, divide or do any calculation. End with +0. That way you wont see (Blank) but 0. E.g.
Sales (Selected Month) = SUM(Sales[Sales]) + 0
Also, you have made a small date table, which is good. But you don't use this consistently through your report. For selecting months you use the date table and for the graph you use the date in the sales table. It is better to use the date table for dates, since that is it's sole purpose.
Hoping this is a simple one to resolve.
I have a dataset, a SQL View, with the data imported into my PBIX. I have a date slicer and a number of tables, matrices and charts, over 2 pages. All update whenever I change my slicer, great.
One of my charts needs to show the last 12 months only. I choose Relative Date Filtering from the Visual level filters, select "is in the last", 12 and months from the various drop-downs. When I click Apply filter, my chart goes blank, even though there is data. When I click off the chart and back on again, the drop-down has changed to Days, not months. I have tried with various different options and always defaults back to days.
My Date field is definitely a Date. I have also tried adding a Date table and using that date too but the same thing happens.
Is it me or is there a bug?
Thanks
