Hi every one,
During this last 2hours i am trying to find a way to display time data on label.
My chart has its data coming from a power pivot table. In this time I have the value of my duration (in second) and I have another column which contains the time format as 02:14:00 for instance.
What I am trying to do is ti put my duration as values and my time format as label but I did not find a way of doing it.
Is there a way to do it ?
I'm building a scorecard for a Sales team and am looking to create some KPI's. One thing I want to grade them on would be their timeliness in submitting customer promotions. Oftentimes we receive a deduction and there is no promo in the system. We track the promo creation dates and the date we receive the deduction. If the promo creation date is greater than the deduction date we know they didn't do their job on the front end. How could I go about creating some sort of visual to use on a scorecard? (I'm thinking a gradient from green to red and a percentage)
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I created a set of queries in Power Query.
I want to access the queries (in multiple tabs) from Power Pivot as my data sources
I opened a new Excel file, Opened Power Pivot
I clicked the Manage Data Model button
I clicked From Other Sources in "Get External Data"
I clicked Excel and browsed to the excel file with the Power Query query files
I select the file and click test connection
and I get an error "Failed to connect to the server. Reason: Unspecified error"
This is a local excel file I created. I have rights to it!
I once fixed this by enabling all SQL services I could find. But that is not working now.
Help!

Hi,
For some reason I am seeing Restore from Power Pivot option is disabled in my Tabular model database on an Analysis Services instance and I am not sure what is causing this issue.
Please provide your assistances on this issue.
Thank You
Hi there,
I am trying to create an alternate hierarchy on the fly in PowerPivot, but my data is from a single cube/table and the "Relations" icon is shaded out, so I can't look at the DIMs that way. I also tried right-clicking at the top of the column (for my DIM), but I don't see the option to create a hierarchy - actually, I don't see that option anywhere.
Is it the case that I cannot create an alternate hierarchy from an existing DIM when I only have one table? If this is not the case, how would I do it?
Thanks...........
Hi everyone,
I have 2 table below:
Table 1:
| Product No | Quantity |
| A |
Table 2:
| Product No | Receiving Quantity | Type |
| A | 10 | NR |
| A | 5 | CN |
| A | 6 | NR |
| A | 7 | DC |
| A | 6 | CN |
I want to sum Receiving Quantity with Type "CN" OR "DC". The result of Quantity in Table 1 should be like this:
| Product No | Quantity |
| A | 12 |
Please help me on this fomular.
Thanks very much.
Is there a way of searching and pulling up a list of my Secondary Contacts? My employer will only let me create one contact page for a company/organization. I have to add additional contacts under "Secondary Contact." I am not finding a way to create a list of these additional people.
When I try to individually find someone that is a Secondary Contact, the only way I seem to find them at all is to search by Keyword.
Any help is appreciated.
Hello,
I've to prepare a 2012 SSRS Dahboard, which will have 8 different charts to show Revenue, Cost, Margin..etc. Grouped on Sector, Service Line etc..
The Ungrouped query result set is having 1.2 M records and taking 75 seconds using stored procedure.
Please suggest which will run faster and advisable,
1. A single dataset with all records and then grouping them based on Revenue, Cost... to show different graphs on SSRS
2. Get grouped records from SQL and create datasets which would be as many as different graphs.
Thanks,

Hello everybody,
I have a problem in a report using Power Pivot. I hope someone can help me :)
I need to update a report every month. The problem is that the information I need to show is related only to the last month, so it's not year to date. Because of that, I have to create formulas for each month and keep changing the columns created by these formulas every month when the database is updated, which is not practical.
To start thinking about updating automatically these columns, I added 2 calculated columns in my Power Pivot database with ormulas that understand the "Current Month" (July, for example), and the past months (June as "Current Month -1", May as "Current Month -2" etc).
Column "RelativeMonthOffset": =((12 * YEAR([MONTHCOMP])) + MONTH([MONTHCOMP])) - ((12 * YEAR(TODAY())) + MONTH(TODAY()))
Column "Relative Month": =IF([RelativeMonthOffset]=0 ; "Current Month" ; "Current Month " & IF([RelativeMonthOffset]>0; "+"; "") & [RelativeMonthOffset])
*MONTHCOMP: The column with the months
My next step is creating a condition that understands I need to show the updated data ("Relative Month -1" June), but also understands that if this information is not updated yet, it has to show the "Relative Month -2" (May).
I have tried to use the Calculate, But I don't know if it can be used.I didn't know how to create the syntax, for example:
CALCULATE(sum(2015[REVENUES]);2015[RelativeMonthOffset]="Current Month -1") || 2015[RelativeMonthOffset]="Current Month -2"))
In this case, I have tried to use OR ( || ), but it doesn't work because the formula doesn't understand that there's a "priority" of showing the "Current Month -1".
Anybody can help me with this issue?
Thank you in advance!
I simplify the problem as follows:
Given a Excel 2013 pivot table report with one dimension X linked to a slicer, sourced from SSAS 2012 tabular model (v11.0.3000.0), put on Sharepoint 2013, and viewed by Excel Service. If applying row filtering makes X become empty, the slicer will fail to refresh, halt the row filtering, and the report will display the cached information to theSharepoint user.
My question is:
1) Why the slicer refresh fails if X becomes empty? Should it display "all values are filtered out"?
2) Is it possible to clear the pivot table caches and slicer caches before putting the report on Sharepoint 2013? That's may be my workaround if no solution can be found.
I have a brute force approach to this issue in my head but figured I would reach out to the community for potentially a smarter way. I have a statement of actual income and a statement of projected sales per month. On the projected sales, revenue is projected to be collected over 18 months at a certain basis points (BPS). For example:
January 2016 actual revenue: $3,000
January 2016 sales: $1,000,000
The calculation for actual revenue based upon projected sales is:
$1,000,000 * .00075 (BPS) * 550 (term of 18 months in days) / 365 = Total revenue from projected sale, in this case $1,130.14 or $2.05 per day
The tricky part of this is that they want this revenue projected over 19 months, 15 days for the first month of sale, 30 for the next 17 months and then 15 days for the last month and this has to be cumulative as they have projects for an entire year of months. For example:
And so on but it has to be smart enough to actually end this at the appropriate term. The end result needs to be a single answer that combines actual revenue for the month with this projected revenue for each month.
Any ideas on any elegant solution to this one?
Hi,
I have a PowerPivot table with lots of measures.
How do I stop the PowerPivot Grid from re-ordering the measures?
This is a very significant issue from my perspective since currently everytime I open the PowerPivot model the ordering of the display of the design of the measures is changed every time the PowerPivot model grid is opened.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Hello,
I'm hoping someone will assist with creating a dynamic x-axis of equally spaced numbers in a PowerPivot model. The following function generates one of the most useful vectors I've ran across in my career;
Function LinSpace(ByVal a As Double, _
ByVal b As Double, ByVal num As Double, _
Optional ByVal endpoint As Boolean = True) As Double()
'Generate linearly spaced numbers.'
Dim step As Double
Dim i As Long
Dim y() As Double
ReDim y(0 To num - 1, 0 To 1)
If endpoint = True Then
step = (b - a) / (num - 1) 'with endpoint'
ElseIf endpoint = False Then
step = (b - a) / num 'without endpoint'
End If
For i = 0 To num - 1
y(i, 0) = a + i * step
Next
'debug.Print step'
LineSpace = y
End FunctionIts functionality can be successfully recreated in a simple excel table as shown below;
However, in attempting the structure in PowerPivot, a calculated field fails to divide by the count (num), while the measure just returns an error. . .
This appears to be simple at first, but with more effort its becoming quite the challenge. Any suggestions would be most helpful. I can also provide the workbook if required.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
I have an old model that unfortunately had to be re-establish.
In order to save time, I thought that I can export all my measures and paste it as measures in my new model.
I used the following technique to export the measures from the old file:
http://www.powerpivotpro.com/2012/10/other-better-ways-to-get-all-measures-as-text/
Does anyone know how to use the output and create the identical measures in my new model, without the need to manually write each one of them?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I have a folder with many identical excel files, each contains data about a different project.
I want to use power query to import 1 specific sheet out of each file existing in the folder (in each excel file- sheet's locations are the same and so are their names).
Here is the tricky part for me-
The sheet has 9 summary rows in the upper part of the sheet that I do not need, and the data table starts from row 10 (header row).
I do not know how to remove these 9 rows, do that to all files and merge the data into a single table.
Appreciate your help!

Hello,
I'm attempting to use SUMX(MyTable, MyExpression) to recreate an Array function in a PowerPivot measure.
The most simple example would be {=SUM(F2-B)} where B is a named range (column in table) and F2 is the first element in a LinSpace (equally spaced numbers).
This will be used in the Kernel Density Estimate {=SUM(EXP(-0.5*((F2-B)/$D$2)^2)/SQRT((2*PI()*$D$2)^2))} where $D$2 is a constant width (ScottsRule of named range B).
The measures I'm trying are:
SUMDIFF:=SUMX(MyTable,OtherTable[LinSpace]-MyTable[MyColumn])
This returns all 0's when used in PivotTable Values
KDE:=SUMX(MyTable,EXP(-0.5*((OtherTable[LinSpace]-MyTable[MyColumn])/$D$2)^2)/SQRT((2*PI()*$D$2)^2)
This return the following error when used in PivotTable Values, "MdxScript(Model) (6, 51) Calculation error in measure 'LinSpace'[KDE]: An argurment of function 'POWER' has wrong data type or the result is too large or too small."
Please see the attached workbook for KDE logic and previous post line space calculated fields or measure for LinSpace discussion. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
V/R, Andrew S.
