I have been working on this for the better part of the day and would like to crowd source as I must just be missing something simple.
I would like to use a parameter control to create a dynamic filter that would exclude the names of individuals that have already participated in an event. For example in the following list of two fields:
Name-Event Name
Carl-Agriculture
Carl-Agriculture
Carl-Agriculture
Jodie-Business
Jodie-Agriculture
Jodie-Agriculture
Pam-Business
Pam-Business
Pam-Business
if the parameter was set to Agriculture, only Pam would show up on the list, and if it was set to Business only Carl would show up. This list will help stakeholders send invitations to potentially interested parties.
I have tried so many calculations including the parameter itself in IF statements, IIF statements, CASE statements, etc. I've also tried creating a second calculation to work off of the first but am still striking out.
Any ideas?
You got most of the way there on your own. To finish the job:
Place Name on the filter shelf
Select "Use all" on the General tab of the filter panel
Select "By field:" on the Condition tab of the filter panel
Choose the "If Exclusion Statement" field, Count aggregation function (NOT Sum in this case), and set the test to "= 0"
The effect of this filter is equivalent to the SQL group by Name having Count(If Exclusion Statement) = 0

Good morning,
I have a unique requirement where I have to apply a filter on "Get entities" from Azure table based on a condition, filters come from HTTP get request.
There are two filters - a and b.
If both filters passed to the flow are empty, no filter is applied.
If either one of the filters is not empty, the filter must be applied on that column.
If both filters are not empty, the filters must be applied on both columns.
Is it possible to apply an If statement in an ODATA filter query?
I can't seem to find a good answer.
For this requirement, we can just use "Condition" in logic app to implement it. It's not a smart solution, but it works.
First I use two variables to simulate your two filters from http request.
Then use another variable to store the result filter(s).
Now add a "Condition" to judge if filter1 is not equal to "empty".
If true, add another condition "Condition 2" to judge if filter2 is not equal to "empty" and set the value for filterResult.
If false, also add another condition "Condition 3" to judge if filter2 is not equal to "empty" and set the value for filterResult. Note: use expression string(' ') in "Set variable 4", or it will not allow us to save the logic app.
After that, we can use filterResult in "Get entities". The expression in below screenshot is trim(variables('filterResult')).
I have a Google sheet with multiple sheets.
The Ambassador users sheet has a list of multiple users (ID, Email, Coupon, and three more irrelevant columns).
Each new user is updated to the sheet via Zapier.
I can have three users with coupon 1234, four with ABCD and two with XYZ.
I then create a unique sheet for each type of coupon (also via Zapier) and want to update each sheet only with the users that have the correct coupon for that sheet.
The coupon is also listed in cell J1 on each sheet.
I need the update to happen automatically without pressing any buttons.
I do not know how to use the functions on Google sheets (I understand it's different from VBA), and I though using a function would be the best solution.
I tried using the IF function in conjunction with the INDEX function and it worked, however, it requires me to copy the function into each row, and thus reduces the automation option.
=if('Ambassador users'!$C3=$J$1, index('Ambassador users'!A3:G3),"")
Then I tried to use the IMPORTRANGE function, and this worked, but not in conjunction with the IF
=if('Ambassador users'!$C2=$J$1, importrange("1QHGSCR_pVepNlMtjFshvGnI-vSPzgqi3g9jz98","'Ambassador users'!A2:G11"),"")
This gave me all the rows in the Ambassador users sheet.
I think I'm doing something wrong with the IF statement in the initial range I'm setting is wrong.
I also tried to set a range in the IF, but that totally didn't work.
try like this with ARRAYFORMULA:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF('Ambassador users'!C3:C=J1, 'Ambassador users'!A3:G, ))
or perhaps FILTER:
=FILTER('Ambassador users'!A3:G, 'Ambassador users'!C3:C=J1)
I am trying Tableau with data extracted from Salesforce. The input includes a "Country" record were the row have different spellings for the same thing.
Example: Cananda, CANADA, CAnada etc.
Is there a way to fix this in Tableau?
The easiest solution is create a group field based on your Country field.
Select Country in the data pane on the left side bar, right click and choose Create Group. Select elements that you want to group together put them into a single group, say Canada, that contains all variations of spelling.
This new group field initially has a name of Country (group). You may want to rename it Country_Corrected. (Or even better, rename the first field, Country_Original, and call the group field simply Country. Then you can hide Country_Original)
Groups are implemented using SQL case statements. They have many uses, but one application is to easily tolerate some inconsistent spellings in your data source without having to change your data. In general, you can specify several transformations like this that take effect at query and visualization time. For very large data sets, or for very complicated transformations, you may eventually want to push some of them upstream in your data pipeline to get better performance. But make those optimizations later when you've proven the necessity.
If the differences are just in case (upper vs lower), you can right-click the Country dimension, and create a calculated field called something like "New Country", and use the following formula to make the case consistent:
upper([Country])
Use this new "New Country" calc dimension instead of your "Country" dimension, and it will group them all without case sensitivity, and display as uppercase. Or you can use "lower" instead of "upper" if preferred.
I am creating an excel sheet with following Data Validation drop down list.
NA
Done
(add some formula here)
Basically, i will be able to select either plain text "NA"/ "Done" from the dropdown list. But sometimes, I want the user to be able to calculate some values based on the cell respective to the row selected so, I want to have one formula as a choice inside the data validation dropdown list. Is this possible?
Data Validation List Source
When I click on Formulae option, it should execute the formula with respect to the cells in that Row
But currently, the formula that i put in doesn't execute, instead it will just show the whole formula in the cell when activated.
1)How can i make it so that when i select the formula from data validation list, it will execute it instead of filling up the cell with it?
2)How do i set the formula so that it will be using the cell from the current Row? (for example, if i am using the data validation List in N60, the formula should adapt itself to use the cell (let's say A60?).
I may not be able to help with the second part, but I was seeking an answer to the first and discovered a solution/workaround using Name Manager.
First, in Formula > Name Manager, create a new reference (the "refers to" will contain whatever formula you are wishing to ultimately display in the validation list. For this example, we use the formula reference "=IF($H54=..." and Name it "UniqueName"
Now, we go into Data Validation, Select List, and input the three items we want displayed in the list, with an equals sign preceding our newly named reference: ie. "NA,Done,=UniqueName"
Note: You can't start with the =UniqueName or validation will try to read it all as a formula and fail.
This method will allow the user to display "NA", "Done", or "=UniqueName" in the cell; if "=UniqueName" is selected, the cell itself will interpret this as a formula and execute it accordingly, displaying the results of "=IF($H54=...", or whateverelse you have designated to use as a named formula.
If it's too late for yours, I hope this helps someone else who may face a similar problem.
While I think I know what you're trying to say. Why don't you just use an IF formula to evaluate everything instead of selecting a drop down for every row manually. You already had it partially solved using IF. Just need to add the criteria for a "Done" and an "NA"
=if(A1="date","Done",if(A1<"date","NA",if(something else until you have all your catergories))
Just going to piggyback off of Mark's response.
If you really needed your named formula to be the first selection in the list, you can setup your list with a leading comma like so:
,=UniqueName,NA,Done
That worked out for my use, and there was no null item listed in the Data Validation drop down. Hope that helps!
Is there any way to group a table by a text field, having in count that this text field is not always exactly the same?
Example:
select city_hotel, count(city_hotel)
from hotels, temp_grid
where st_intersects(hotels.geom, temp_grid.geom)
and potential=1
and part=4
group by city_hotel
order by (city_hotel) desc
The output I get is the expected, for example, City name and count:
"Vassiliki ";1
"Vassiliki";1
"Vassilias, Skiathos";1
"Vassilias";5
"Vasilikí";25
"Vasiliki";23
"Vasilias";1
But I'd want to group more this field, and get only one "Vasiliki" (or an array with all, this is not a problem) and a count of all the cells containing something similar between them.
I do not know if could this be possible. Maybe some function to text analysis or something similar?
SELECT COUNT(*), `etc` FROM table GROUP BY textfield LIKE '%sili%';
// The '%' is a SQL wildcard, which matches as many of any character as required.
You could do something like the above, choosing a word for the 'like' that best fits the spellings that your users have used.
Something that can help with that would be to do a
SELECT COUNT(*), textfield FROM table GROUP BY textfield ORDER BY textfield;
And selecting the most 'average' spelling for your words.
Otherwise you're starting to get into a bit of language processing, and for that you will want to write some code outside of SQL.
This would be something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau%E2%80%93Levenshtein_distance
To find word's that are the same within an arbitrary margin of error.
There is a MySQL implementation here that you should be able to transpose as needed

(Personal thoughts on the topic)
You Really Really want to think about limiting the input from users that can give you this issue in the first place. It's far far better to give the users a list of places to select from, than it is to push potentially 'dirty' information into your database. That eventually always winds up with you trying to clean the information at a later time. A problem that has kept many people employed for many years.
