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.

I just begun working on a project and have been tasked with translating some reports. I have found a handful of ways ranging from manual dataset translation to scripts and such. I was wondering, if there is some way of automating this process. Is there a way of taking an existing dataset, running some commands or something and with a few steps, have a translated report. My team has these reports embedded and there is a language code in the URL, perhaps there is some way of making use of that.
The dataset, that I am testing and trying to get it to translate consists of 4 tables and column names are only values with text, everything else is numbers. Logically, numbers don't translate, so columns are only necessary. There are also some visual titles, that should be translated.
I appreciate any help and any efforts made to resolve this.
For an embedded report, there's a couple of things that you can do:
Use translations files in the PBI model to handle measures and column names. These will show up as labels in visuals. See the section, Translate Power BI field and table names, here: https://pbi-guy.com/tag/tabular-editor/
The language can be selected from the app by putting it in a querystring: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Setting-language-and-locale-for-embedded-report/td-p/606714
Add a table with translations for labels and titles. See this section from the same link above: Create one report and a “translation table” to display the right language. Note that a filter will need to be set by the app to select the language in addition to how the language is set in the querystring above.
A couple of important caveats:
Anything overwritten in the report will override a translation. So if you change a column name in a visual, that's what it will always be no matter what language is selected.
Not every visual supports expressions, so sometimes you'll have to wrangle a button or multi-row card to use as a label or title.
the free version of tabular editor can be found here: https://github.com/TabularEditor/TabularEditor/releases/tag/2.17.2
In the example below, the pop up displays all tags, not tags related to the highlighted card.
In the example above, the visualization comes out correct, however, it is mandatory to add a field from the Cartes_Etiquetas table in the visualization, so that it is displayed correctly filtered.
With the relationships being correct, how do I filter the data correctly, WITHOUT ADDING THE MIDDLE COLUMN IN THE VIEW?

Create a new measure as follows:
Measure = COUNTROWS('Cartões_Etiquetas')
Add the measure to the filter pane as follows:
I have data like this:
It comes from REDCap, and as you may be able to tell, the data in the far right columns are repeated variables about each "protocol_title" (the far left column). I.e. "Love it" and "I want a disc instead" are both about "study 2"
I've imported the data into Power Bi and currently I have this:
What I'd like is for the top left visual to only have one row per study (with columns such as principal investigator and method of image transfer, i.e. columns that had data in the first row) and a visual on the lower left with all the right-most columns.
By switching the top visual from a table to a matrix I can kinda accomplish this:
But it adds a bunch of unnecessary columns. As an alternative I thought I could add a filter to the top visual that would filter to "redcap_event_name"=="protocol_information" which would only be those top rows.... but given the visuals are linked, if I do that it removes everything from the bottom visual. I'd like to keep the link between the visuals so that if I select "study2" in the top visual, it'll highlight relevant study 2 information in the bottom one.
So my question is: what's the best approach for making the visuals I want? Are there special settings for visuals? Do I need to do something to the data first in the query? How should I go about this?
You might want to rework you data structure. At first glance, your flat source table could be parsed into two tables :
Protocol
Survey
This can be done in PowerQuery.
For Protocol :
Select columns A to R.
Filter on redcap_event (?) starts by "protocol_info"
Delete empty rows
For Survey
Select columns A (to keep the protocol ID and be able to link both tables), T and U.
Filter on redcap_event (?) starts by "survey"
Delete empty rows.
You should end up with the two table with a one-to-many relationship between Protocol[Protocol_ID] (column A) and Survey[Protocol_ID] (same)
And it should make everything much easier: visuals, calculations...
I have gone through this tutorial
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-tutorial-analyzing-sales-data-from-excel-and-an-odata-feed/
and was having some issues at Task 4 - Step 1 that I have somewhat resolved but would like to find a better way to complete the task.
The issue of this is that the title of my graph is Sum of UnitsInStock by ProductName but I just want it to be "UnitsInStock by ProductName".
See image below:
Sum of UnitsInStock by ProductName
I think the issue is that in the tutorial link it has the "UnitsInStock" column is aggregated already (which you can see in the field pane) whereas I had to aggregate the data myself. I think to fix this I just have to aggregate the data in the query editor but I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
The button you want is Group By - it's on the Home ribbon in the central Transform section.
Select your grouping columns before hitting it, to preload them in the Group By window. I haven't followed that tutorial so you will need to decide what to select. Any column you don't select for Group By or aggregate (see below) will be removed by this Step.
In the bottom section of the Group By window, click the + button to add an aggregation, then choose Sum and choose your column (e.g. UnitsInStock ). You have to type the output column name.
I have created a spreadsheet in OpenOffice Calc that has multiple sheets for each month of the year. The sheet has some specific formulas and data laid out in several months.
Is there any easy way to go about modifying a formula and having it transfer across all the sheets?
Or if the format changes, is there a way to merge sheets through some type of macro or something?
If your data is laid out in a very regular way, you may be able to copy+paste the modified formula to each sheet and have it adjust the cell references correctly.
However, for this type of flexibility (being able to make a change in one location and have it reflected in how all existing data is displayed) a database is generally required. OpenOffice has a database component Base, and information from Base can easily be imported to Calc if you have specific spreadsheet requirements. The learning curve for Base is fairly long, but might be worthwhile if you handle this kind of data frequently.
A formula in the same place on several sheets need only be updated once provided the relevant sheets are grouped together first (click their tabs with Ctrl depressed - and don't forget to ungroup them when appropriate!). Fill applied to A1 of a group of sheets will colour A1 in each of those sheets.
The Consolidate feature (under Data) might be of interest.
