Can I select a certain row/column combination in coldfusion without doing a query of queries? For example:
Some Query:
ValueToFind | ValueToReturn
String 1 | false
String 2 | false
String 3 | true
Can I somehow do #SomeQuery["ValueToFind=String 3"][ValueToReturn]# = true without doing a query of queries ? I know there's code out there to get a certain row by id, but I'm not sure how or if I can do it when I need a string as the ID
If this can't be done, is there a short hand way to set up a coldfusion function so I can use something like FindValue(Query, "String 3") and not have to use ?
You can treat a query column as an array.
yourRow = ArrayFind(queryName['columnName'], "'the value you seek'");
If you get a zero, the value you seekis not there.
Edit starts here:
For values of other columns in that row, simply use that variable.
yourOtherValue = queryName.otherColumnName[yourRow];
A small modification to Dan's code, you can find the column value using the code below
yourVaue = SomeQuery["ValueToReturn"][ArrayFind(SomeQuery['ValueToFind'], "String 3")]

I want to get a True/False Output column that evaluates another column of text strings
Table
Item Notes Carried
1 Bob was able to.. Y
2 Amy was not.... N
3 This is Bob..... N
In this example I want a way to know if I can evaluate the Notes column for specific text by row and have a column of True/False, for the example is there a way to evaluate for occurrence of "Bob"?
You can use Containsstring, adding a new column:
Carried = if(CONTAINSSTRING(Table[Notes], "Bob"), "Y", "N")
If you want to pass in more than one value, you can go with:
Carried = if(CONTAINSSTRING(Table[Notes], "Bob") || CONTAINSSTRING(Table[Notes], "Amy"), "Y", "N")
I have a bit of a unique situation, I have a column of data that has text values:
Column
sdfsadf42lkjdflk
skld35kdfosdffj
kdfjsi78ldsfjoi
Result should look like:
Column
42lkjdflk
35kdfosdffj
78ldsfjoi
Is there a way to cut out everything before a number? A generalized way would be nice in the event that number currently not included can still be evaluated for (the instance of a number always being used is the only constant)
You can try finding the index and then slicing the str using the same index. I will show you with an example.
var str = "skld35kdfosdffj";
var firstDigit = str.search(/\d/);
str = str.slice(firstDigit,str.length);
console.log(str);
Assuming your column is named ColumnName, in powerquery, add custom column with formula
= Text.RemoveRange([ColumnName], 0, Text.PositionOfAny([ColumnName],{"0".."9"}))
I have a Actuals column like so:
ID | Airport
------------
A | 98.4
B | 98.0
C | 95.3
I'm attempting to format the numbers above into percentages for a front-end report. I have this written in a switch statement - for ease I'll just write the logic as an IF boolean.
example_measure =
VAR Nums = SELECTEDVALUES(Table[Actuals])
VAR FormatNums = IF(DIVIDE(ROUND(nums,1), nums) = 1,
format(nums,"0%"),format(nums,"0.0%")
-
RETURN
FormatNums
no matter what I do this always returns a number with a floating point value of 1f
so in my raw data of 98.0 I'm expecting the format to return "98%" rather than "98.0%"
the measures are used on individual cards, and are filtered so they can only ever show one value or blank, meaning they will only ever display one value on their own.
I've toyed with using if(nums = int(nums) which should evaluate to true for 98.0 but it I always get false.
There is a simpler way - just use built-in formatting codes:
Formatted Actuals =
VAR x = SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Actuals])
RETURN
FORMAT(x, "General Number") & "%"
Result:
Built-in style "General Number" handles your situation correctly, you just need to add % symbol to the formatted string. No need to test for whole numbers.
To convert a column/measure into percentage, you can simply divide the column by 100 and then format it as a percentage. Use the following steps:
Create a new column/measure: Perc_value = Table[Actuals]/100
Then go into the modelling tab, select the created column/measure and format it as a % and limit the number of decimal places to 0
This should give the view you are looking for. Hope this helps.
Edit:
You can use the below formula to achieve the desired result:
Column4 = IF('Table'[Column2]-ROUND('Table'[Column2],0)=0,FORMAT('Table'[Column2]/100,"0%"),FORMAT('Table'[Column2]/100,"0.0%"))
Replace Column2 withyour field and you should be good to go.
I am building a workbook in PowerBI and I have the need for doing a conditional appending of text to column A if it meets a certain criteria. Specifically, if column A does not end with ".html" then I want to append the text ".html" to the column.
A sample of the data would look like this:
URL | Visits
site.com/page1.html | 5
site.com/page2.html | 12
site.com/page3 | 15
site.com/page4.html | 8
where the desired output would look like this:
URL | Visits
site.com/page1.html | 5
site.com/page2.html | 12
site.com/page3.html | 15
site.com/page4.html | 8
I have tried using the code:
#"CurrentLine" = Table.TransformColumns(#"PreviousLine", {{"URL", each if Text.EndsWith([URL],".html") = false then _ & ".html" else "URL", type text}})
But that returns an error "cannot apply field access to the type Text".
I can achieve the desired output in a very roundabout way if I use an AddColumn to store the criteria value, and then another AddColumn to store the new appended value, but this seems like an extremely overkill way to approach doing a single transformation to a column. (I am specifically looking to avoid this as I have about 10 or so transformations and don't want to have so many columns to add and cleanup if there is a more succinct way of coding)
You don't want [URL] inside Text.EndWith. Try this:
= Table.TransformColumns(#"PreviousLine",
{{"URL", each if Text.EndsWith(_, ".html") then _ else _ & ".html", type text}}
)
I'm trying to create "Sale Rep" summaries by "Shop", where I can simply filter a column by the rep's name, them populate a total sales for each shop next to the relevant filter result.
I'm using this to filter all the Stores by Scott:
=(filter(D25:D47,A25:A47 = "Scott"))
Next, want to associate the Store/Account in F to populate with the corresponding value of E inside of G. So, G25 should populate the value of E25 ($724), G26 with E26 ($822), and F27 with E38 ($511.50)
I don't know how to write the formula correctly, but something like this is what I'm trying to do: =IF(F25=D25:D38),E25 I know that's not right, and it won't work in a fill down. But I'm basically trying to look for and copy over the correct value match of D and E inside of G. So, Misty Mountain Medicince in F27 will be matched to the value of E38 and populated in G27.
The filter is what's throwing me off, because it's not a simple fill down. And I don't know how to match filtered results from one column to a matched value in another.
Hope the screenshot helps. Screenshot of table:
Change Field Rep: Scott to Scott and you might apply:
=query(A25:E38,"select D,E where A='"&F24&"'")
// Enter the following into G25 and copy down column G
=(filter(E25:E47, D25:D47 = F25))
or
// Enter the following into G25 will expand with content in F upto row 47
=ArrayFormula(IF(F25:F47 <> 0, VLOOKUP(F25:F47, D25:E47, 2, FALSE),))
