yql list of supported Open Data Tables - bit.ly

I know there are certain apps that support Yahoo's YQL open data tables
Twitter
Bitly
Flickr
Digg
etc.
Is there a comprehensive list anywhere?

FYI: We moved the repo to http://github.com/yql/yql-tables

Here is a list of some of the user contributed open data tables on github.
http://github.com/spullara/yql-tables/tree/master
Also if you go to the Console (http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/) you can run
"show tables" and it lists the tables you have access to.

Refresh Power Bi dataset based on Onedrive Excel file

Im trying to just understand the basics of Power Bi service refreshing reports from datasets, and despite several questions on here (like this one and this one) and several microsoft articles, Im still lost.
Lets say I go on my corporate onedrive account and create a very basic excel file. Two columns, some fake names and fake numbers.
Then I close that. Open Power Bi desktop and create a very basic report where I just dump that data into a table. Also worth pointing out I bring that data in using this method to copy and paste the sharepoint path to the file (and do all the other stuff on that page as far as authenticating my work account, getting the data, etc.. I do that because in other places I read that if the onedrive path was the path as its seen on your computer, it wont work.
I then publish the report to the service online. Works great so far.
I now want to refresh my report based on a change I made to the data. So I open the onedrive excel doc, change a number, save and close.
Now no matter what I do, the report wont refresh. When I click to refresh here:
It gives me this error:
When I google that error it says I need to change the permissions, so I go to the data source settings in Power bi desktop and have done all sorts of things in various attempts. I.e. "clear permissions" or "edit permissions" and make sure it says "none", etc... etc..
What am I misunderstanding?
Lastly, I dont understand it at all, but Ive heard previously I may need a "gateway". At one point a week or two ago I had my companies IT department install a gateway and as far as I can tell its on right now:
I was told I need to select OAuth2 as the Authentication method, but where I would expect to find the menu for dataset credentials (pic below, I'd expect it to read dataset description, then gateway connection, then data source credentials) I dont even see the option:
Also obviously that warning on the screen (cant refresh because data sources dont support refresh) sounds relevant, but a- it looks like the whole error isnt even there, b- its just an excel file on onedrive, shouldn't that work?
After publishing the pbix in the Power BI you need to configure the data source credentials to use OAuth2.

Oracle Apex load excel data .xlsm without plugin

I need to load data from excel to table . i.e. upload excel from apex application and then load the oracle database table. I have been advised to avoid plugin so am looking for oracle apex processed using which i can do this.
Any advice/steps/links to information would be very helpful.
Th file to be loaded is .xlsm with macros but the macros can be ignored.
Apex 20.2
There's nothing built-in for allowing your users to load an Excel file into your Apex app and store the data into a database table.
Personally, I've used Carsten Czarski's XLSX_PARSER package with good results. The source code is clean and I even enhanced it to parse for my custom needs.
https://blogs.oracle.com/apex/easy-xlsx-parser%3a-just-with-sql-and-plsql
I found these two good references via Google:
Jeff Kemp's great review of many possible solutions for various data formats, including Excel - https://jeffkemponoracle.com/2018/11/load-spreadsheet-data-into-apex/
Anton Scheffer's Excel2Collections package - https://github.com/antonscheffer/excel2collections
Yes, You can do it without even using the Data loading wizard provided by oracle apex, so here is the video, in which I have in detail explained how you can do it, with simple 2 steps.

Google Ads data in BigQuery - How to link p_ExtensionsSitelinks with p_AdStats?

This is a question addressed to users of Google Ads data in BigQuery.
My goal is to create a dashboard displaying all ad extensions (Sitelinks, callouts ...) and their results.
In BigQuery, we have this dataset called "rawdata" imported from Google Ads. I noticed that ad extensions have specific tables and are not in generic tables like "p_Ad" or "p_AdStats". Instead we can find them in p_ExtensionsCallouts, p_ExtensionsSitelinks.
But in p_ExtensionsSitelinks we only find ad texts, no figures, no results. So I need to link to another table containing results. CreativeId in p_AdStats seemed to be the key between my results and the id in my sitelinks table.
I tried to join p_AdStats to p_ExtensionsSitelinks, on p_AdStats.CreativeId = p_ExtensionsSitelinks.Id, but no success. Id in p_ExtensionsSitelinks seems to be a very specific id, not found in p_Ad.

Does anyone have already encountered this problem please?
Thank you very much.
Cheers, Julien

Dashboard permission in WorkSpace

I had created an App work-space, there is dashboard and a dataset inside.
If I add in some members inside, is there anyway that Do Not allow users to modify my dashboard while they still can use the dataset to build their own dashboard ?
You can share the dashboard and limit the user for read or so re-share:
Who has access to a dashboard or report you shared?
However one of the limitations of the datasets is that "No one can see or download the dataset."
Hope this can answer to your question. If not tell me please!

Sharepoint 2010: best practice to migrate legacy data to sharepoint list

I have to migrate some legacy data from stand-alone sql server database to sharepoint list.
I'm going to use programmatic approach and write a code that communicates with sharepoint list asmx web service.
Are there some "data transformation wizards" to simplify such a task or a better approach to port legacy data from sql server database to sharepoint list?
Thank you in advance!
Being one time operation, I would not worrry about Best Practice but would consider what's the fastest way to do it.
You can use Excel 2010 (I have not tested it with Excel 2007) export data to Sharepoint 2010. Here are the high level steps:
Import data from SQL Server using DATA Tab in the ribbon
Excel would automatically create a TABLE
Now you can prepare the data for Export to Sharepoint. Here, you can remove unwanted columns, add new columns remove unwanted rows, arrange columns etc.
While being in the Table, access the "Export Table To Sharepoint List" functionality to publish you data to Sharepoint. More information about this is available at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/export-an-excel-table-to-a-sharepoint-list-HA010131472.aspx
It is quick! but let;s be aware of the limitations:
1. It cannot publish data to a list which already exists
2. It will not create a content type for the exported list. The columns are directly attached to the list.
If you want greater control over the migration, programming may be the way to go unless someone has a better idea in this great forum!
