Remove Blank Values from Slicer in Power View

Hi all,

I am trying to create a power view report from a power pivot data model. After creating the model when I try to use the slicer in power view I am seeing the Blank record. Then I checked that dimension in model where I don't have any blank value in there. Also I checked in fact table where it has a relationship with that dimension and I don't see any blank value there as well.

I am currently blocked with this issue. Experts please jump in and give some ideas how to remove blank value from there.

Thanks

How to unlink from excel table, keep calcs, change connection to PowerQuery source?

$
0
0

Hi all,

I've used powerquery to populate a number of excel tables

I then manually added these tables to my powerpivot model and spent considerable time defining relationships, KPIs, measures and calculations, and of course powerview reports etc

I upload the workbook to powerbi and try to set up a scheduled refresh but get errors stating that there's no data connections defined. It seems excel online is too dumb to recognise a "connection -> table -> powerpivot" data flow

I can set the PQ to add the results directly to the model, (and powerbi recognises this as a refreshable data source) but this of course creates a brand new table1 in my model. I can't accept that I'll need to completely rebuilt my model from the ground up just because I want to change a data source.

How do I change the data source for the existing linked table to use the PQ instead? deleting the 'linked_table' from the connections in the workbook drops the table and all calcs from the model

Any known work around if this is a known issue??

Grabbing data from a different table

Hello again,

I need to print the owner of each Propiedad in a new column in the table G_Difusion. ID_Propiedad is the ID of each Propiedad and has only 1 owner.

ID_Propiedad Semana del Letrero Web Periodico Revista
0001 02/06/2014 Si No Si Si
0014 09/06/2014 No No Si No
0013 16/06/2014 No No No Si
0049 23/06/2014 Si No No No
0032 30/06/2014 No Si No No
0028 07/07/2014 No No No No

This is my table Propiedades where the ID_Propiedad is associated to only 1 agent.

ID Propiedad Agente
0001Juan Martinez
0039Roberto Robles
0019Mirtha Palacios
0033Juan Martinez
0027Roberto Robles
0021Juan Martinez
0024Sara Reynaga
0026Roberto Robles
0037Mirtha Palacios
0022Sara Reynaga
0009Mirtha Palacios
0017Sara Reynaga
0029Mirtha Palacios
0028Sara Reynaga
0032Sara Reynaga
0043Sara Reynaga

Here you can see that my tables are already associated by the ID_Propiedad. Table Propiedad with G_Difusion.

So again what i need to do is only print the name of each agent that is in the table Propiedades, in the table G_Difusion by the ID_Propiedad

Measure Count Rows - If Condition - Multiple Tables

$

Hi,

This is a follow up question to an excellent answer from Michael using a calculated column. I’m going to try and use a measure to limit the calculated column, but I using the same theory of his post.

I want to count the rows in the Incident Table by using filters to limit the rows to be counted if they meet the below conditions. I know I need a logical test for each row of the incident table based on the apparatus table’s rows, much like Michael’s solution. But, I want to test for each row in the incident table, counting, but not returning a true or false in the overall measure.

Something like look at each incident row, test for true or false and then count IF the statement is true. Then go to the next incident row and do the same. The aggregation would be the final count of “true” results.

I tried this for MET objective:

=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(incident),

        apparatus[Incident Response Time] >-1 ||

        apparatus[Incident Response Time] <320,

        uv_901APP_TYPE[Description]="Engine",

        uv_901INCIDENT[Top_Category]="Fire"

         )

And this for Did NOT meet objective

=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(incident),

        apparatus[Incident Response Time] >320,

        uv_901APP_TYPE[Description]="Engine",

        uv_901INCIDENT[Top_Category]="Fire"

         )

I hope I explained this clear enough, but HERE is a copy of my workbook for further explanation.

Thank you for any help. Brent

Hello,

I have this value in a column of a Power Pivot in Excel : "AIG85228 43"

I would like to find the n° of the place of the " " in this cell wich is 9.

Normally, I would use the function "=FIND(" ",[OLPRDC])" where [OLPRDC] is the name of the column containing the field where I have to find the " ".

And I receive an error message in place of "9".

Can you help me ?

Thank's by advance.

parameter passing in Powerpivot on Sharepoint

Hi All,

I have deployed one PowerPivot Worksheet containing only data model on SharePoint 2013.

Then I have generated some reports out of it. I mean using that deployed worksheet(as a Data Model) I created some reports (Power-Pivot Link Table as a Data Source) in other Excel files. and then I uploaded these newly created reports on sharepoint.

Now suppose when I open these newly created reports, I want to send parameters with that. so based on these parameters my newly created report should vary.

So how can I send parameters in URL so that my excel will get filtered?


Power Pivot 2013 Using SharePoint 2013 List as Source Data

$
0
0

Background: On a SharePoint 2013 site, there are lists that have the exact same columns but due to their size I had to create a different list for each year. These are essentially my data lists or tables that end users enter data into. These lists have look up columns in them, referencing columns from look up lists or tables located on the same site.

 

Goals:1) Create a Power Pivot Gallery on SharePoint 2013 that is able to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature using the SharePoint 2013 List data that is on the same SharePoint 2013 site.  2)Combine all the data lists/tables into one table once in Power Pivot 2013. The Look Up lists/tables will remain separate.

 

Challenge: Being able to merge or do a union query to the "data lists" and still maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature. This is a tactical, quick fix solution, and I cannot use SQL Server and am operating under the assumption that I do not have Access Services 2013 as an option.  

 

Failed Attempt #1: What I already tried was linking the lists to an Access 2013 database and did a Union query from Power Pivot which merged the data from the different data tables as I wanted it to.ThenI uploaded that Access Database to a document library on that same site, thinking that I could maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature but I was wrong.


Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers, Johnny

Grabbing an exact date

$

Hello,

Im trying to grab the first date in which someone made contact for an item in this table

For example for the item 0001 it would be 08/09/2014 since all the Consul columns have 0's on the first date.

I want to grab the first date that someone asked for that ID and print it here. So there should be a new column and for example the ID 0001 will have the date 08/09/2014 

EXCEL POWERPIVOT - CREATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN 2 EXCEL TABLES FILES LOCATED IN MY DESKTOP

$
0
0

I have 2 excel tables files.

One table has info about sales by country, by model, by date...and the other table has units by date.

Obviously, the common key is "date"....and by creating a relationship, I can add "units" to my combined resulting table.

However, I can't create the relationship. Excel keeps telling me: "the relationship cannot be created because each column contains duplicate values. Select at least one column that contains only unique values".

Can anybody explain how to resolve this in a step-by-step way, since I am not good with excel.

thank you.

I have 2 slicers: Slicer_Solution and Slicer_Specific_Solution

I wrote a macro to select in Slicer_Specific solution the same button as as selected in the slicer Slicer_Solution.

The code works, when running the Macro "stand_alone". (run macro)

but when I Assign the macro to Slicer_Solution, it doesn't work anymore. The slicer seems blocked, I cannot click on other buttoms of the slicer after running the macro

herby the code:

Sub Slicer_Selection()

Dim Selection As Boolean
   
Selection = False
   
Application.ScreenUpdating = False


ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Specific_Solution").ClearManualFilter


Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim counter As Integer

counter = 0

For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Solution").SlicerItems.Count
    For j = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Specific_Solution").SlicerItems.Count
        If ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Specific_Solution").SlicerItems(j).Value = ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Solution").SlicerItems(i).Value Then
            If ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Solution").SlicerItems(i).Selected Then
                counter = counter + 1
                If counter = 1 Then
                    Sheets("RDWay Specific").Select
                    Range("A5").Select
                    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Specific_Solution").SlicerItems(j).Value
                    Sheets("All Estimates").Select
                Else
                    Sheets("RDWay Specific").Select
                    Range("A5").Select
                    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Many"
                    Sheets("All Estimates").Select
                End If
            Else
                ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Specific_Solution").SlicerItems(j).Selected = False
            End If
        End If
    Next j
Next i

If counter = 0 Then
    Sheets("RDWay Specific").Select
    Range("A5").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "None"
    ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Specific_Solution").ClearManualFilter
    Sheets("All Estimates").Select
End If

End Sub

[Bug] Points in formulas get converted to comma in formulas

$

Hi!

I am struggling with Excel 2013 PowerPivot, because everytime I enter a formula like this...
=IF([MyColumn]="70100";"Paym.";"No Paym.")

It gets converted (and saved as this):
=IF([MyColumn]="70100";"Paym,";"No Paym,")

All points - although inside of strings - get converted to commas.

I am using Excel 15.0.4667.1000 32-bit German. My model has the language version "German (Germany)".

The bug must be around some time. Is there a bugfix around, that I am not aware of?

Thanks!! :)

Andreas
