Blank() causes an error in an if() - PowerApps - if-statement

I am trying to filter a table from Dynamics 365 by selecting a radio button which will update the table on the screen.
The user has three options to choose from: "School", "Business", "All".
When the user selects "All" then it should look in the "Accounts" table and search the "industrycode" column for blank values.
Below is a working Filter(), which returns the result I want
Filter(Accounts,industrycode = Blank())
However if I add an If() statement to it determine which value the user selected from the radio, I get an error that says the '=' symbol is an invalid argument type.
Filter(Accounts,industrycode = If("All" in radio_cust_type.Selected.Value,Blank()))
EDIT: When I want to check for a "School", I use a filter like:
Filter(Accounts,industrycode=If("School" in radio_cust_type.Selected.Value,34))
I intend to combine the two filters later but right now I want to check for blanks

This should work:
If(
radio_cust_type.Selected.Value="All", Filter(Accounts, industrycode = Blank()),
radio_cust_type.Selected.Value="School", Filter(Accounts, industrycode = 34),
radio_cust_type.Selected.Value="Business", Filter(Accounts, industrycode = XX)
)
Where XX is the industry code for "Business"

Impossible to show all records if parameter is not given in Power Bi Report Builder

I've been struggling to make it work. I have a dataset with column Country and each record has its own country. I've also created a parameter #Country which is a blank input. What I want to do is to show all records from dataset if parameter is left empty and show records matching country when it is given by user. So far everything works whenever I input a country BUT when I leave it blank then no records are being shown. How can I fix it?
Snippets of code I've tried, ever one with the same result.
FILTER('Dataset', ISBLANK(#Country) || 'Dataset'[Country] = #Country))
FILTER('Dataset', IF(ISBLANK(#Country), 1, 'Dataset'[Country] = #Country))
FILTER('Dataset', IF(ISBLANK(#Country), 'Dataset'[Country], 'Dataset'[Country] = #Country))
FILTER('Dataset', IF(NOT(ISBLANK(#Country)), 'Dataset'[Country] = #Country, 1))

Changing measures with a slicer: "a table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected" error message

I followed this blog's instructions to create a slicer that would let me swap between measures in a text table: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Dynamically-change-the-information-within-a-visual-via-a-slicer/ba-p/87027
I am getting this error message for the column I am creating in the last step: "a table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected":
Select level (% favorable) =
SWITCH( TRUE(),
VALUES ('Measure Dimensions'[Measure]) = "Country", ROUND([c_pct_favorable],1),
VALUES ('Measure Dimensions'[Measure]) = "State", ROUND([s_pct_favorable],1),
VALUES ('Measure Dimensions'[Measure]) = "Zip", ROUND([z_pct_favorable],1),
BLANK())
I am basically trying to swap between country, state, and zip code level % favorable survey data.
Note: I had to add the ROUND calculation because I was getting a 'you can't combine fields with different data types' error message.
I tried Googling this error message but didn't find a use case exactly like mine and couldn't figure out the other article's logic and how it applied to my problem.
Thank you very much for your help!

Show all rows as default in calendar in Oracle Apex

I'm creating a report table type calendar where users can create back up by date select a filter that would filter out the table values depending on the user selected. (i.e. if they choose user1, then only back ups with user1 will show up)
I would like it to be when P106_BACK_UP_BY_USER = 0, the table shows all the values (aka getting rid of the "where" portion of the query.
Thank you for your help!
I'm having issues with trying to allow the user to see all the back ups of the table again (getting rid of the filtered value). My current query is this:
I would like it to be when P106_BACK_UP_BY_USER = 0, the table shows all the values (aka getting rid of the "where" portion of the query.
Thank you for your help!
You can use case when statements in your query's where condition as follows:
select *
from my_table
where my_table.created_by =
(select user_name from my_table2 where app_users_id =
case :P106_BACKUP_BY_USER when 0 then app_users_id
else :P106_BACKUP_BY_USER
end)
And for getting better help, please paste your code as text not as an image next time.
This should work too:
...
WHERE b.active_server = s.server_id
AND (:P106_BACK_UP_BY_USER = 0 OR
UPPER(b.created_by) =
(SELECT UPPER(user_name)
FROM eba_bt_app_users
WHERE app_users_id = :P106_BACK_UP_BY_USER
)
);

Remove duplicates values based on multiple column with a condition in query editor Power BI

I am new to power bi and would require your help to sort out below issue which I am facing.
Basically I am taking three columns into consideration as below:
Question: I would like to remove duplicate values from above table based on conditon "
Equal value for "Time" ,"ID" and Absolute difference in "Time spent" is lower or equal than 1"
as you can see in the image Rows highlighted falls in this category.
I would like to get these below rows removed based upon condition.
Question: I would like to remove duplicate values from above table based on conditon "
Equal value for "Time" ,"ID" and Absolute difference in "Time spent" is lower or equal than 1"
as you can see in the image Rows highlighted falls in this category.
I would like to get these below rows removed based upon condition.
I am able to perform this in excel by making us of a fourth column with formulae =IF(AND(A3=A2,B3=B2,ABS(F3-F2)<1),"problem",0) and then filtering out the rows marked as probelm. Please help!!

I bet the suggestion from #Alexis Olson works just fine, but since you specifically mentioned the Query Editor, here's how I would do it there:
Have your data loaded like below, and just accept the changes made under Changed Type:
Don't worry about the other steps under the Query Settings. We'll get to that eventually.
Select Add Column and click Index Column, so that you get this:
Select Add Column, click Custom Column and insert this little formula in the appearing dialog box Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each #"Added Index"[Time Spent]{[Index]}-#"Added Index"[Time Spent]{[Index]-1}):
Click OK, and make sure that you're getting this:
I think this step is a little weird, but you'll have to click 'Table' there in the column:
You will get an Error message in the first row, but you can remove that by right-clicking that column, and clicking Remove Errors:
Now you can click the drop-down menu in the Custom Column, select Number Filter and Does Not Equal
And insert 0, or select 0 from the drop-down menu in the dialog box:
This is it, your required numbers should now be filtered away:
Note, however, that this procedure comes at a cost since you're losing the first value due to the first step in the indexing. If the rest of this is something you can use, I can see if we can fix that last little part as well.
You can pick a representative [Time Spent] value from each unique set of rows by taking a max or min over the list of "duplicate" values. Here's the formula for such a custom column, which I'll call [Min Time]:
= List.Min(
Table.SelectRows(#"Previous Step",
(C) => (C[Time] = [Time] and
C[ID] = [ID] and
Number.Abs(C[Time Spent] - [Time Spent]) < 1)
)[Time Spent])
Once you have this custom column, you can group by [Time], [ID], and [Min Time] to roll up the duplicates and then rename the [Min Time] column to [Time Spent].

Add Hyperlink below the Card or table visual Conditionally in power bi

I have a Power-Bi Report where I need to show the hyperlink in the card or table conditionally. the report is having Account_id as slicer value.
If an account_id results more than 4 records in the visual, I need to add a extra row with text "More.." in it. Reference image is below.
Thanks in advance
I don't if it's possible to get exactly what you want, but here's my attempt. Power BI still isn't great if you need a lot of control over formatting.
First, create a ranking column:
Rank = RANKX(
FILTER(ALL(Table1),
Table1[account_id] = EARLIER(Table1[account_id])),
Table1[Partners], , ASC)
Next, a column that displays the top ones and "More..." for any possible 5th items.
Display = IF(Table1[Rank] > 5,
BLANK(),
IF(Table1[Rank] < 5,
Table1[Partners],
"More..."))
Finally, a column that contains the desired URL for the "More..." rows:
Link = IF(Table1[Display] = "More...", "http://www.URL.com", BLANK())
Here's what my sample data table looks like:
Then you can set up a table with the Display and Link column. Make sure to choose "Don't summarize" for the field and choose URL icon on under values formatting options to get the link icon instead of a URL. You'll probably also want to filter out blanks in your visual fitter settings.
For the right-hand table above I changed the column header texts to "Partners" and " " in the table Values box.
