I am looking for a solution in Libre/OpenOffice Calc, to automatically insert a new row if all the fields of the current row are filled with data.
A bit more detailed:
There is a spreadsheet in which the monthly expenses are stored, and at the end of each month a summary is generated and included under the last row of the month. The amount of data (number of lines) for a given month is unknown and thus not fix. A solution would be nice, that would allow to enter the data and at the end of the row a new row would be automatically inserted between the actual row and the row of the monthly summary.
I hope it was somewhat clear.
many reasons make me feel you should prefere some other storage (database?). Once this move is done, you can connect calc to the db.
Same eye effect with a much cleaner and safer work.
hope will help

This is probably going to come out with a really simple solution, but I am having trouble with a simple pivot in PowerBI.
I have a table where I have the costs of different utilities in one column, by month. I want to pivot the different utility types into separate columns, so I just have one row of data per month, with the different utility types across the top.
A simple pivot for some reason puts a bunch of nulls in and repeats the Months column, and I am not sure where I am going wrong.
Original Table
Final Table with Problem
My eyes glossed over that first column, not realizing the unique IDs in that column were causing the problem. I got rid of EngieTable_ID and my table works now.
This is what I hope to be a very simple issue, I'm just having a hard time putting the right search terms together in order to find the answer.
Basically, I want to preserve the data from the last refresh before the data is refreshed again, in order to compare the difference.
Example:
I have a basic web scrape that runs off and grabs the latest stock price for Microsoft:
What I want to be able to do during the refresh is to first copy the current value (283.85) to a new column and then refresh the data, so that I have a side by side current and previous price.
Really tried to find an answer, but I don't think I'm using the correct terminology.
I have never used this method. Would it be easier to add a date column to your current table and make it your record table? That way you can do a comparison and visuals from your data.
If you really want separate tables you could update your table with the date column and then write a table query to get your latest stock price according to date
I'm trying to create a line chart visualization that shows a constantly increasing sum over time. I think this would be called a cumulative total or a running total, but most of the questions I've seen on here have been about showing a total at the bottom of a matrix, subtotals, etc. Instead, I just want to visualize the units from the previous date being added to the current date, and so on. Not sure if this would be a custom column in the dataset or if there is an existing function for this.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Goto Quick Measures, in the "Calculation" dropdown, select "Totals - Running Total", pull in Base Value (what you want to aggregate) and Field (probably your calender) and here you are!
I have the following Power BI table example for an operating expense report that uses a slicer to filter the first column named "Actual". This is to see the operating expenses for one month compared to the budget figures for the year. It also compares the year-to-date and annual figures. How can I create dynamic columns that change based on the slicer selection? These additional columns are not shown in the pic below but included in the last pic. The Budget column below was just created as an example to show what it should look like.
I set up a star schema with several tables shown below. There's only one expense fact table used and the slicer only works for the first column as previously stated but I need all the other columns to use different parameters and adjust based off what's selected in the slicer. The last image is an overview of the info and the parameters for each column. I tried creating new columns with measures for the budget to see if I can get that going but can't figure out how to make it adjust with the slicer selection.
I'm not sure if I should be using separate queries for each column or can this be done using the one expense table. Hope this isn't too confusing. Please let me know if more info is needed.
If I understood what you wanted correctly I think I solved your problem.
I was able to create the following:
I did not use all values since I did not want to type everything, if you provide some test data it is easier to replicate you dashboard.
This matrix (so not table) allows you to filter for Date (if you so desire, you can always show all date's in the matrix) Book and AccountTree.
The way this is done is by putting the address column in the ROWS for the matrix, Putting the Date column in the COLUMNS of the matrix and putting your values (actual, budget, variance) in the values of the matrix.
For the date is used days, since it was easier to type. You can always use weeks, months, quarters or years.
For this to work you have to create the following relationships:
Hope this helps.
If not, please provide test data so it is easier to try and solve your problem.
I'm new to the DAX world and I just faced a conceptual misunderstanding.
While I was trying to debug a measure, I found a unexpected (for me) behaviour with the ALL function. I wrote a simple measure COUNTROWS(ALL(Table)) but to my surprise, when I sliced the data by a column, the same number did not appear in each cell in the values field, ignoring the filter context in the way I was expecting:
So, what am I missing?
Since there are no BUYs on e.g. 01/08/2017, it's not even evaluating the measure. Since that cell doesn't correspond to any rows in the original table, it's not doing any computations.
If you had a BUY and a SELL on the same day, it should show up in both columns on that day.
