Hi. did know where to put it so...
I just want to know how can i renew my data from a pivot table.
I have a SP in SQL and from that i get my pivot table in excel.How would i renew the data? Do i have to make a job in SQL and if so, what will it do? Just run the SP again? Or do i have to do something with excel? Or is it done automatically when you create your pivot?
Thanks.
Is it possible to generate automatic refresh of excel 2013 table which displays some table of a power pivot model on file open?? I dont want to use pivottable (which supports this ...)
I am working with a data set containing several years' of monetary values. I have entries for past dates and the associated values, and I also have entries for future dates. I need to populate the values of the future date records with the values from the same date the previous year. Is there any way this can be done in Power Pivot?
Say, I have the following temporary table (@tbl) where the QuestionID field will change values over time
Survey QuestionID Answer 1 1 1 1 2 0 2 1 1 2 2 2
I'd like to perform a pivot on it like this: select * from @tbl Pivot (min(Answer) for QuestionID in ([1], [2])) as PivotTable
...however, I can't just name the [1], [2] values because they're going to change.
Instead of naming the values like this: for QuestionID in ([1], [2], [3], [4])
I tried something like this: for QuestionID in (select distinct QuestionID from @tbl)
but am getting a syntax error. Is it possible to set up a pivot like this: select * from @tbl Pivot (min(Answer) for Question_CID in (select distinct @QuestionID from @tbl)) as PivotTable
Can I force the following measure to be visible for all rows in a pivot table?
Sales Special Visibility:=IF( Â Â HASONEVALUE(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany]) Â Â ;IF( Â Â Â Â VALUES(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany]) = "Sales" Â Â Â Â ;CALCULATE([Sales];ALL(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany])) Â Â Â Â ;[Sales] Â Â ) Â Â ;BLANK() )
FYI, I also have other measures as well in the pivot table that I don't want to affect.
I have a simple pivot table (screenshot below) that has two variables on it: one for entry year and another for 6 month time intervals. I have very simple DAX functions that count rows to determine the population N (denominator), the number of records in the time intervals (numerator) and the simple percent of those two numbers.
The problem that I am having is that the function for the population N is not overriding the time interval on the pivot table when I use an ALL function to do so. I use ALL in other very simple pivot tables to do the same thing and it works fine.
The formula for all three are below, but the one that is the issue is the population N formula. Why ALL would not work, any other way to override the time period variable on the pivot table.
Population N (denominator): =CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist),ALL(analyticJudConsist[CurrentTimeInCare1])) Records in time interval (numerator): =COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist) Percent: =[countrows]/[denominatorCare]
How can I apply "Min" formula under a "new measure" (calculated field) within a pivot table under Power pivot 2010?Can see that neither does it allow me to apply "min" formula directly "formula box" nor could find any other option.Intent formula: "=Min(1,sum(a:b))" this isn't allowed so all I can do is "=sum(a:b)".
I have simple pivot table (below screenshot with info redacted) that displays a population number ("N" below), this is the denominator, a cumulative numerator number (below "#") and a simple cumulative percent that just divides the numerator by the denominator. It cumulates from top to bottom. The numerator and percent are cumulative using the below functions. There are two problems with the numerator and percent:
1. When there is not a number for the numerator, there is no value displayed for both the numerator and the percent..There should be a zero displayed for both values. 2. When there has been a prior number for the numerator and percent (for a prior month interval) but there is no number for the numerator in the current month interval, the prior month number and percent are not displayed in the current month interval--see the 3rd yellow line, this should display "3" and "16.7%" from the second yellow line.Here is the formula for the numerator:
=CALCULATE(count(s1Perm1[entity_id]),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]))) Here is the formula for the percent: =(CALCULATE(countrows(s1Perm1),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]))))/(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(s1Perm1),ALL(s1Perm1[Exit],s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory])))
I have data in my Powerpivot window which was generated by a sql query. This data includes a field named 'Cost' and every row shows a value for 'Cost' greater than zero. The problem is that when I display this data in the pivot table all entries for Cost display as $0. At first I thought that maybe Cost was set to a bogus data type (such as 'text) but it is set to ''Decimal Number' so that's not the problem.Â
What is happening and how do I fix it so that my pivot table reflects the values for 'Cost'?
I have a data table that contains budget and actual data by month. Â I use the data to create a pivot that shows actual results next to budgeted results. Â I need a column that shows that variance between those columns. Â I think my issue is that the "Type" field contains actual and Budget. Â I sum on "Type". Â I can't seem to create a sum since those items are in the same field or am I missing something?
How to get a list of values to actually display in correct order in either a slicer or when on an axis on a pivot table?
I currently have the below list and have tried to add a preceding numeric (ex. "1. <=0") or preceding blank space, neither of which is visually great. Is there another way?
I am using excel 2010 and creating pivot table from Power Pivot. I created a pivot table with department slicers. All is good, the problem I am having is whilst in an unfiltered position (ALL) of the slicers (departments) I get 200 pages, now when I click on a given department with say 10 pages, I still get the same 200 pages with the first 10 pages showing the data from the clicked department and 190 blank pages.
All I want is to get a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) of what is on the screen as my print, but I am getting extra blank pages right after the data. Â How do I resolve this.
Below are the steps I go thru to printÂ
1. Select slicers in unfiltered position (ALL) 2. Select entire pivot table 3. Select Page layout and select print area. 4. Save 5. Click on Print Preview to preview the print 6. Click on a given department in the slicer and repeat item 5, but this gives me blank pages after the data.
I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?
Is it possible to use a expression as a pivot key value?
I need to take data from one table and pivot it into another but what pivots to where is conditional, so I'm wondering if it's possible to say something like
"where Column1 = 'A' and Column2 = 'B' " in the pivot key value.
I'm trying to get it to work but can't, just keep getting the 'No pivot Key found' error.
I have a pivot table that connects to our data warehouse via a PowerPivot connection. Â The data contains a bunch of comment fields that are each between 250 and 500 characters. Â I've set the columns in this pivot table to have the 'Wrap Text' set to true so that the user experience is better, and they can view these comment fields more clearly.
However, whenever I refresh the data, the text wrapping un-sets itself. Â Interestingly, the 'Wrap Text' setting is still enabled, but I have to go and click it, then click it again to actually wrap the text. Â This is very burdensome on the user, and degrading the experience.
Any way to make this text wrapping stick so that I don't have to re-set it every time I refresh the data?
I have a pivot transform that it believe is configured correctly but is not distributing the values accross the columns on the same row. for example.
input:
id seqno codevalue
1 A red
1 B red
2 C blue
2 A green
2 B violet
3 A green
desired output:
id Seq_A Seq_B Seq_C
1 red red null
2 green violet blue
3 green null null
what I am getting:
id Seq_A Seq_B Seq_C
1 red null null
1 null red null
2 green null null
2 null violet null
2 null null blue
3 green null null
I do have the pivot usage for the id column set to 1. I have the pivot usage for seqno column set to 2 and codevalue column set to 3. I have the source column for each of the output columns set to the lineageID of the apprpriate input columns. I have the pivotKey values set for each of the destination columns. A for column Seq_A, B for column Seq_B, C for column Seq_C. All four columns have sortkey positions set; 1 for id, 2 for Seq_A, 3 for Seq_B and 4 for column SEQ_C.
It seems like the id column's pivot usage is not set to 1 like it should but when I check it is 1.
I also have several other pivot transforms in the same data flow and they are working as expected.
I have a suspicion that there is some hidden meta data that is messed up that is over-ridding my settings (just my guess) I have deleted this transform and re-done it several times, checking each configuration value, but still getting the same result.
I have 2 identical tables one contains current settings, the other contains all historical settings.I could create a union view to display the current values from table A and all historical values from table B, butthat would also require a Variable to hold the tblid for both select statements.
Q. Can this be done with one joined or conditional select statement?
DECLARE @tblid int = 501 SELECT 1,2,3,4,'CurrentSetting' FROM TableA ta WHERE tblid = @tblid UNION SELECT 1,2,3,4,'PreviosSetting' FROM Tableb tb WHERE tblid = @tblid
I'd like to get a extract table result, with a reference id primary key, showing the maximum dates for events and who was responsible for them. I can get the max(date) field in columns using PIVOT, but can't see a way to get the 'who' field without lots of LEFT JOINs.
Here's some test data and code which shows the principle:
CREATE TABLE #t ( ref INT , id INT , who VARCHAR(10) , checkin DATE
[Code] ....
The result set is:
ref 1 who1 2 who2 3 who3 4 who4 123 2014-01-18 carol 2014-01-18 andy 2014-01-16 bill 2014-01-17 carol 456 NULL NULL 2014-01-17 NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL
Is there some way to avoid all the LEFT JOINs, maybe by using another PIVOT, to produce the same result?
I got a measure that is a calculated member Purchase-Invoice that give the NotBillable. When I query the cube in an Excel pivot I retrieve the zero as well:
I tried to create another calculated member in this way
If ([Measures].[Not_Billed]=0,blank(),[Measures].[Not_Billed])
but Error 2 MdxScript(Billing) (11, 5) The provided expression is not a valid MDX expression.  0 0Â
We have a client that wants to take the Max value of a count at the Product level, but then for each Brand (Parent of product), sum the Max values for that particular slice. The example below shows the Max sales per month over the last 6 months.Â
Prod1 had it's best month in Month2 (20 units) and Prod2 had its best month in Month4 (30 units). Brandx should roll up to 50 units. Can DAX handle this in a single Calc Measure?
Brandx         50    Prod1       20    Prod2       30 Brandy         60    Prod5       40    Prod6       20
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".
I am relatively new to SQL and as a project I have been asked to create the SQL for a simple database to record train details. I want to implement a check constraint which will prevent data from being inserted into a table if the weight of the train is more than the maximum towing weight of the locomotive. FOr instance, I need to add the unladen weight and maximum capacity of each wagon (located in the wagon type table) and compare it against the locomotive maximum pulling weight (the locomotive class table). I have the following SQL but it will not work:
check((select SUM(fwt.unladen_weight+fwt.maximum_payload) from hauls as h,freight_wagon as fw,freight_wagon_type as fwt,train as t where h.freight_wagon_serial_number = fw.freight_wagon_serial_number and fw.freight_wagon_type = fwt.freight_wagon_type and h.train_number = t.train_number) < (select lc.maximum_towing_weight from locomotive_class as lc,locomotive as l,train as t where lc.locomotive_class = l.locomotive_class and l.locomotive_serial_number = t.locomotive_serial_number))
The hauls table is where the constraint has been placed and is the intermediary table between train and freight wagon.
I may not have explained this very well; but in short, i need to compare the sum of two values in one table against a values located in another table...At present I keep getting a message telling me the sub query cannot return more than one row.
I have a power pivot with 2 multi valued report filters  student_branch & blood_group. These report filters are used to fetch the data set that contain below result set
student_branch        blood_group      count
Everything works fine. But, what i am looking for , is there any way to show the what are all the report filters that are selected currently by , separated in a separate cell ? below is the image for output reference.
Simple example:    declare @tTable(col1 int)    insert into @tTable(col1) values (1)    select * from @tTable
Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.
But when trying to get this same result in a PP table I get an error, idem when replacing table variable by a temporary table.
Message: OLE DB or ODBC error. .... The current operation was cancelled because another operation the the transaction failed.
I cannot create a measure that returns results for dates that do not exist in the fact table despite the fact that the components included in the measure contain valid results for these same dates.Creature a measure that counts the number of days where the "stock qty" is below the "avg monthly sales qty for the last 12 months" (rolling measure).Here is the DAX code I have tried for the measure (note that filter explicitly refers to the date table (called Calendar) and not the fact table):
Below you can see the sub measures (circled in red) are giving results for all days in the calendar.Highlighted in yellow are dates for which the StkOutCnt measure is not returning a result. Having investigated these blank dates, I am pretty confident that they are dates for which there are no transactions in the fact table (weekends, public holidays etc...).why I am getting an "inner join" with my fact table dates despite the fact that this is not requested anywhere in the dax code and that the two sub measures are behaving normally?
table2 is intially populated (basically this will serve as historical table for view); temptable and table2 will are similar except that table2 has two extra columns which are insertdt and updatedt
process: 1. get data from an existing view and insert in temptable 2. truncate/delete contents of table1 3. insert data in table1 by comparing temptable vs table2 (values that exists in temptable but not in table2 will be inserted) 4. insert data in table2 which are not yet present (comparing ID in t2 and temptable) 5. UPDATE table2 whose field/column VALUE is not equal with temptable. (meaning UNMATCHED VALUE)
* for #5 if a value from table2 (historical table) has changed compared to temptable (new result of view) this must be updated as well as the updateddt field value.
I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR". (It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)
I have created a CTE of all the "Look-up" values, and have tried all kinds of joins, and other functions to achieve this, but so far nothing has quite worked.
How can I accomplish this?
Here is some SQL for set up. There are over 500 formulas that need updating with over 400 different "look up" possibilities, so hard coding something isn't really an option.
Perhaps I was dreaming, but I thought I remembered reading in some SQL Server 7 propaganda that PIVOT TABLE was added. The idea is, a cool syntax that would turn a number of rows into the same number of columns, and automatically transpose the values for you.
This is not a data-mining application. It's more a hyper-normalizing operation. We define products as a collection of attributes that are stored in rows, not columns. A single product is therefore one row from a Product Header table and N rows from the Product Attributes table. Products can have widely differing numbers of attributes.
I know you can write a query that will grab N rows and turn them into N columns, but I don't want to have to write one for every product type (meaning for N, O, P, Q, R and S attributes).
I just looked in one of my SQL Server 7 books and found nothing on Pivot Table, so maybe I was dreaming.
Failing this cool new command, do you know of a general solution to this type of problem?
