I am importing data from Dynamics CRM online using ODATA in Power Query. All datetimes in the database is stored in UTC and I need to convert these into CET. But it's not as simple as just to add 1 hour to the datetime from the database because due to Daylight. Savings time on half the dates I need to add 2 hours - how can I do this?
View 3 RepliesI've imported a number of excel sheets into a Power Query Table. All seems to appear ok until I load the data. Of the 15k rows around 2k have a similar error where it cannot convert an integer to type string as below example
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value 40 to type Text.
Details:
Value=40
Type=Type
The columns in question are all of integer type, I've looked through the M query and there is no conversion to string taking placeThe values where we don't get the error are also integers hence the intriguing question is why does the error occur on a subset and not the others. I suspect there is a limit to the number of errors also somewhere internally M query is converting the column to text for some reason.
I need to convert Local date time field to GMT. [Does we need to consider daylight saving and so on?]

Hi all,
I have created a report in SSRS 2005 which is being viewed by users from different Time Zones.
I have a dataset which has a field of type datetime (UTC). Now I would like to display this Date according to the User Time Zone.
For example if the date is August 07, 2007 10:00 AM UTC,
then I would like to display it as August 07, 2007 03:30 PM IST if the user Time Zone is IST.
Similarly for other Time Zones it should display the time accordingly.
Is this possible in SSRS 2005?
Any pointers will be usefull...
Thanks in advance

I am trying to show images in a product listing in power view.I work with an excel 2013 desktop version based on an office 365 pro account.I did the following steps:
import of an excel file with an article list via power query and loading the data to the data model import jpg images from a folder via power query, setting content as binary type and loading the data to the data modellinking both tables in power pivot--> manage via the image namesetting the table behavior for the images table under power pivot --> manage --> Advanced (e.g. Default Image: Content)opening power view and building article cards with article number and imageProblem: only a camera icon shows up in power view
Is there a solution with a desktop version?Can I use my Office 365 Pro account to make it work? How?Why is there no solution showing images in a pivot table?Link to Dropbox with power pivot files
So, I have the following tables
transactions = [date], errorID, status
calendar = [date], year, month etc .
The critical field here is errorID.
Maybe the best way to illustrate the raw transaction data is by example :
I now need to create a report to show the AGE of errors.
age1 = days since first occurrence
age2 = days since last 'Repeat' status
I tried to ignore AGE for now, and just see if I could get the correct earliest date to show for each errorID.
How to do a MIN on date, ignoring all row context apart from keeping my errorID !!?!
I've been able to find plenty of info online in relation to calculating moving averages for a given value. I am having a specific problem however.
So because I need to see the average on a daily basis, my forumla (below) works fine:
However, my Calendar dimension (TIME) also has a discreet, non-continuous attribute called DateMonth (which looks like 1-Jan, 2-Jan etc.) which has no reference to the year.
I was hoping this would allow me then to take my year attribute and compare the 28 Day Average for the 1st of Jan across multiple years.
So you could have a line chart where the X axis is 1-Jan to 31-Dec (with no reference to the year) and the series category is by year, so a line for each year.
But when I replace DATE with DateMonth in my pivot, the calc gives some strange numbers.
Rolling28DayAvg :=
CALCULATE (
[Revenue],
DATESINPERIOD (
TIME[DATE],
LASTDATE ( TIME[DATE] ),
-28,
DAY
)
)
/ 28
I created a PowerPivot measure which is a ratio Ratio = Number of Events/Time calculated on 12 months. I would like the grand total to be this Rate Sum(Number Of Events)/Sum(Time calculated).
In my Pivot I have one measure which I called Value and this value can have different types depending on one attribute.For instance one attribute is number of events, an other one is time and the third one is ratio.I want to display a custom grand total simple sum for events and time and a calculation of my ratio for ratio.
For instance
201501 201502 201503 TOTAL
Number of events 8 10 10 28
Time 5 5
4 14
Ratio 8/5 10/5 10/4 28/14
I have a CSV file that looks like below
JobOrderId CandidateId From_StatusID From_StatusDate To_StatusID
1234 5000 1 07/01/2015 2
1234 5000 2 08/01/2015
I've read this file in PowerPivot and I need to calculate the time in weeks between the two dates for the same JO, Candidate and when the to_StatusId = From_StatusID. In other words, the number of weeks that took from going From Status "1" to Status "2".
Is it possible to do something like this using DAX? Do I need to create a calculated Column?
I have an Excel 2010 Pro pivot table that uses a Power Pivot view sourced to a SQL Server 2012 SQL view. This view contains multiple date fields, and when I attempt to use the 'Value Filter' on one of these, the data is not filtering. The data type in the SQL view is a date.
After attempting to set a Value Filter, and seeing that the filtering didn't work, when I go back to the Value Filter criteria (in my case, I used 'Greater Than' option), the date value that I plugged in to filter has been replaced with a numeric value.
I am struggling with the Lastdate function. I have got stock balance data and want to show the number of products/models that are on stock at the latest date of the stock balance table.
My DAX formula is as follows:
=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('3S-StockData'[Article Model]);LASTDATE('3S-StockData'[Date]))
I get the wanted results for all aggregated product groups, on product/model level however the formula does not give me the information wanted (see screenshot).
Basically, the formula calculates correct, but I want in my example only models shown with the date 2015-10-21.
Say that I have employee data for 2010-2015. I have a pivot table that displays employee data for all the different months in 2015 I want each month to show all people who have been employed since the start of time until and including that month. So
for January 2015 it should show all people employed from January 2010 to January 2015.
for February 2015 it should show all people employed from January 2010 to February 2015.
for March 2015 it should show all people employed from January 2010 to March 2015.
How can I write a measure for this? I have a date table set up.
I know how to do this in Excel, but not sure about Power Pivot. Our fire department works on a 24 hour shift that starts at 0700 each morning. I want to look up what shift is working depending on the date and time of dispatch. In Excel, I would do a look up table, but instead of using false() as the last parameter, I would choose true().
I am not sure if this would be best created as a calculated column in the table that holds the incident date and time values, or have a separate table and create a relationship to use the shift in the rows/columns of my pivot table.
I’m using DAX to calculate the prior MTD count of a specific column. My data ends on 2/8/2013 and that day's PriorMTD is incorrectly corresponding to 1/31/2013. Whereas, the previous 7 days in February correctly match their corresponding January dates..Below is an image of my pivot table and I have outlined the values in red that are in question.Below are my DAX formulas used each column visible in my image:
Distinct Count of Events:=DISTINCTCOUNT([EventID])CurrentMTD:=CALCULATE([Distinct Count of Events], DATESMTD(Events[EventDate]), ALL (dimDate) )PriorMTD:=CALCULATE([Distinct Count of Events], DATEADD(DATESMTD(Events[EventDate]), -1, MONTH), all(dimDate)) ParallelMonth:= CALCULATE ([Distinct Count of Events], ParallelPeriod(Events[EventDate], -1, MONTH), ALL(dimDate))
I have a fact table with sales data at line item level, meaning lots of rows with sales orders, revenue etc. per product group pr month. Then I have a budget table with the budgetted revenue pr product group pr month, meaning a lot less detailed. I followed the method at daxpatterns.com/budget-patterns/ with the headline "Complete pattern" to make it work. Now I have a working data model where I can see actual and budget as seperate values.
I then need to calculate the actual revenue month to date and the budgetted revenue month to date. For actual it has worked fine by doing:
=CALCULATE(
sum(Sales[Revenue]);
(DatesMTD(Time[date]))
)
The problem occurs for me doing the same on the budget figure. Since I don't have a budget per day, but only at "YearMonth" level, I have calculated the amount of workdays per month and then used the DatesMTD formula to get the cumulative workdays during the month. Furthermore I calculated the total amount of workdays in the month and made a ratio between this figure and the cumulative workdays so I get a figure in percent that tells me per day how much of the month that has went by (0-100 %). I would then multiply this percentage with the budget and get the budget month to date. This does not work since my budget figure is not at day level.
How I can get it to work. My desired result will be all the dates during a month in my rows and then actual revenue Month to date in values and a corrosponding figure for the budget.
As part of analyzing our fire department's response times, we measure the time it takes to get a certain amount of people on a fire scene. I have two table that contains incident data. The incident table contains one row per incident. The apparatus table contains multiple rows per incident with each row contain the information for each unit. They are connected by the incident key with a one to many relationship.
The column apparatus.num_personnel contains the count of personnel for each fire truck. The goal is to capture the response time of the unit that is carrying the 10th person to the scene. In the example below, E78 was the unit that the sum of apparatus.num_personnel was => 10. There response time of 0:06:18 is returned to the incident table.
I realize I will need to create a logical test (calculated column on the incident table) that sums the number of personnel for each incident and then when that number => 10, then return the MIN Response Time of that row. From past projects, I understand I can create a temporary table (ADD COLUMNS) which will iterate over each incident row, comparing the units for that incident. I"m just not sure how to put it all together.
Overview of data model. The incident and apparatus are my data tables and the rest are lookup tables. The parameter table is used for a percentile measure, but doesn't play a role with this project.
I have a table with all my orders lines, I need to identify (DAX formula) for a specific customer which is the first order of a specific article (first date filtered for customer and article) and use this information to tag the order line for that article for the specific customer as "Newly Ordered article" if the order date = first order date or as "Reordered article" if the date on the specific order line is subsequent to the first order date.
I imagine I need to combine a Lookup date filtered for customer and article and use it with a IF formula.
Similar to this I would also like to define that if the first order for a product for the specific custumer is older then a certain date, then this would be defined as and historical customer for the specific article, if the first order on the article is more recent the a specific date, then this will be defined as "new customer for that article".
I am try to count number of items that will result by filtering a date column (one Date column). Ex Column "Created Date" between 1-Sep-2015 To 30-Nov-2015.
I am unable to get any function that is getting right value. The below function return 40, however the actual value when i do manual filter and count is 132.
CountofQ1:=COUNTAX(DATESBETWEEN(DumpLoad1[Start Date],[StrtDate],[EndDate]),DumpLoad1[Start Date])
Our business model involves a lot of dates and the business owners frequently want reports based on each of these different dates. For example in any given order there are as follows:
- Order created date
- Client due date
- Order first payment date (an order can have multiple payments)
- Order fully paid date
- Date assigned to vendor
- Vendor return date
- Date delivered to client
On top of that we have other areas of the business, the data from which ties into the above. Here we have more dates e.g.
- Date vendor recruited
- Date vendor reviewed
At any given point the manager may want a report based on any of these dates. For example;
- Product type by order creation date (fiscal year / month)
- Product type by first payment date (fiscal year / month)
- Product type by client due date (fiscal year / month)
and so forth. I have been asked to create a report using all of the above on at least one occasion, many of them far more frequently. At the moment I have created a standard date table and then duplicated that for each type of date that I need however this is becoming excruciating to work with as I have approximately 10-12 date tables in my data model. Is there a better way of doing this now, in Excel 2013? If not, is there an improvement in 2016 that may make life easier?

In the typical Job Cost Reporting world you can easily create SQL Views / Stored Procedures (or create a report) that can return both Job To Date values along with period values for another date range. Something like this:
Job,
Phase of Work,
Cost Type,
UM,
Budgeted Cost,
Budgeted Quantity,
Period Cost,
Period Quantity,
Period Unit Cost,
JTD Cost,
JTD Quanity,
JTD Unit Cost,
Variance between JTD and Period Cost,
Variance between JTD and Period Quantity,
Variance between JTD and Period Unit Cost
But in the tabular BI world I am not certain how to have these values show up in a pivot table or BI visualization. My current Fact table is essentially every job cost transaction so it is at the most granular level holding Company, Job, Phase of Work, UM, Cost Type, Date, Budget Cost, Budget Quantity, Actual Cost, Actual Quantity. The Budget values only have a value if the entry was updating the budget and the Actual values hold actual cost for each transaction. If you don't restrict by date you have your Budgeted Quantity / Cost and Job To date Cost / Quantity.
I can generate a Pivot table or chart and not restrict by date and I can get all the Budget Totals and the Job To Date Totals when I have the Company, Job, Phase Of Work, Cost Type.
But what if I want to look at a range like last quarter or yesterday or last week. I can indeed filter that data in Pivot Table and get the period values, but now I don't know how to have the Job To Date values show up for comparison purposes.
I am guessing maybe a DAX formula (if using Excel Powerpivot or SQL Tabular Model), but I am at a loss.
So in the BI world how do you get Job To Date totals while also viewing the data for a period of time?
Here are some example graphs we would want to show for a single Job. Let's say we want to show the 10 worst performing cost distributions.
I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and for each cost distribution it would show Budgeted Cost, Period Cost, Job To Date Cost.I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and for each cost distribution it would show Budgeted Unit / Cost, Period Unit / Cost, Job To Date Unit / Cost.I would want a graph to show the cost distribution and the variance between JTD and Budget and Period and Budget.
As you can see it all stems around seeing JTD and Budget values vs Period Values. Here is a visualization that may work. I am using PivotTable filtered on one Company, Job, Phase of Work. I can see the sum of actual cost which is the totals for the date range I provided. But I still want to see the JTD totals for that Phase of Work and Cost Types and actually the Budget Totals as that is sort of a JTD, but for budget... especially if I want to compare Budget vs JTD vs Actual.

I need to create a date dimension where the lowest level is month. I've seen examples which use the list function such as
Source = List.Dates(#date(2000, 1, 1), Duration.Days(DateTime.Date(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())-#date(2000,1,1)), #duration(1,0,0,0)),
The above increments by 1 day which is defined in the 1st argument of the #duration. My question is how can I dynamically change the value of this 1st argument such that its the number of days in the current month hence it will increment to only return the 1st date in the Month e.g
1/1/2000
1/2/2000
1/3/2000
etc..
I prefer to use an elegant approach if possible, the alternative would be return all dates, create a custom column from these dates which returns the month date - delete the dates column - get a distinct list of the month dates.
I have two tables - one with dates at the end of each month (10/31, 11/30, 12/31, et al) that's linked to a data table containing client signups. While I can get the count per month in a pivot table, I'm trying to calculate the beginning count of each month.
How do I use calculate or something similar to sum the count of records created minus count of records closed prior to the beginning of the period?
The pivot looks like this right now and works by month:
beginning active records ?????
count of records created 100
count of records deleted 50
net records created 50
running balance in net records created 100 (theoretically the next month's beginning balance, but can't figure out how to reference or calculate)
We have some requirement in PowerBI reports. Here we have a table and having Date, Events columns. Below is the sample data..we are creating a measure to calculate the average of the event count for month.We need a measure for calculating Average of Event count per month= sum(Events for a month)/numberofdays in the month.Example for January month : sum(343423)/31 (31 number of days in January)
When we write this measure using DAX query in Excel we are getting semantic error.Tried sample formula : Average:=SUM([Events])/EOMONTH([EventDate],1)
writing this DAX command for measure.After having this data ready, we are creating PowerBI reports on this data.

I need to get the last value of # Orders week avg in the current context (the highlighted value). The calendar dimension here is a week level one so I don't think I can use LASTNONBLANK. The measure is from the facts_sales table which is linked to a calendar dimension via a date key.
I've encountered an issue where the ALLSELECTED function works fine unless I use a date hierarchy, i.e. year, quarter, month, date, for the rows in a pivot and then use a year slicer, select one or more years individually, and the clear the filter on the slicer. The year(s) that I selected in the slicer remain at 100% in the pivot instead of returning to the subtotals for the unfiltered slicer.
This only occurs when I use a calendar hierarchy for rows and a date field for the slicer, either from the hierarchy or a regular date field.Below are images of the normal behavior and then the result after following the steps above. Can't figure out why the calendar hierarchy is causing the issue since it works for all other time functions, etc., and follows best practices such as contiguous dates, etc.
I want to calculate the sum of actual sales until a date and forecast sales after a date.I am not sure what the best approach to this problem is, but I have tried my best with the following approach. Any better ways to solve this (using DAX).
I have created a parameter table that offers the last date of each month as possible choices to the user. I have tried to create a measure that sums actual sales up until this date.
SalesQuantityActual:=IF(HASONEVALUE(parLastActualMonth[Date]);CALCULATE(factSalesActual[Quantity];factSalesActual[Date]<=VALUES(parLastActualMonth[Date]));BLANK())
Unfortunately the measure above does not work.
In addition to the parameter table, I also have a normal date table.
