experimenting with powerpivot and I use an simple example of the AdventureworksDW in Powerpivot.
If i use the RELATEd function with Product and ProductSubCategory the column is empty and I expect values.
Relationships are rightfully defined. What am i doing wrong?
My DB contains company names repeating themselves several times (in the same column).
Can I create a new table that shows only the distinct names, and use it to work with the data?
My intention is to allow my users to choose only from the options within the DB (mimic in a way the list validation option in excel)
I have a table with repeated customers in a column and for each costumer his own "value", in another column of course.
I need a sum of the column value but for the distinct customers.
In other words i have to filter the table by the distinct customer and after sum the column value.
I try with
-CALCULATE(sum([value];VALUES([customers]))
-SUMX(VALUES([customers]);[value])
but both didn't work.
Here is the data:
ProjectId
Stage
StateStatus
ProjectId
ProjectName
StartDate
P1
S1
Completed
P1
P1Name
31/12/2015
[Code] ...
I want with PowerPivot to tell what stage is in progress for project. I looked at RElatedTable, LOOKUPVALUES, but I can't find a way to associate this to get working. I got however the one telling me which projects are Completed.
Result shall be:
ProjectName StageinProgess
P1Name S2
P2Name S3
P3Name None
Purpose - relate Server to Software, and Server to App and display it in power view.Current State - I am able to display that Server/Software and Server/App combos separately in power view. However when I add Server/Software/App it throws the warning as seen below. This leads me to believe the relationships aren't transitive so to speak.
Supporting Info - v_gs_installedsoftware is the software table. It relates to v_r_system which is the server table through resource id. The software table can have many rows with the same resource id, however the server table only has unique resourceids (think of it as a server can have many software products installed). Table1 is the application table, it relates to the v_r_system table through the resourceid. Each server from the server table can have many applications that it actually plays a role in (think of a web server that hosts multiple websites for different business units).
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]

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a DATESMTD function which is not working. This is what is happening, if there is no row data for the month it creates a month to date total similar to the year to date total instead of zero. See below my formula:
MTDSUM:=CALCULATE(SUM('Combined Years Dataset'[Net]),DATESMTD('Combined Years Dataset'[Period2]),'Date'[date])
Period 2 is a column with dates (end of monthdates) in a table called Combined Years Dataset.
So, if I have $200.00 data for Aug and no data for Sept, the system puts in 200.00 as the month to date for Sept instead of zero. What can I do to make the system insert zero in the month to date column instead of the $200.00. What am I doing wrong in the formula.

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 have created data model where I'm taking several sources of Point of Sale data (multiple retailers) and combing them using Power Pivot and a custom calendar. We get data retailer direct, which is mostly in weeks, and data from IRI which is in four week buckets. This does not allow me to use the date intelligence DAX functions. I'm brand new to DAX and my experience starts and ends with Excel. (Diagram view and link to file to come after account verification) .
The DAX code for calculating LY Sales is:
=
CALCULATE (
[Sales $],
FILTER (
ALL ( dCalendar ),
dCalendar[IRIYearNumber]
= VALUES ( dCalendar[IRIYearNumber] ) - 1
[Code] ....
The filters are to prevent items not on the item table from showing on the report, and the customer filter is to prevent all the sales being rolled together as and extra line (with blank customer) on the report.
The error happens when I select two periods that are in different years. When I select the 13 periods on 2014 all is well. But when I add a period from 2015 it throws the error below;

This is an SPC chart controlled by a slicer that operates a powerpivot table. This is then copied (by cell formula) into a "normal" table where the average, UCL, LCL and Erlang are calculated which are just basic calculations involving average and standard deviation. To make it work the values in the Average, UCL,LCL and Erlang must be repeated all the way down the table to create the chart. In the current format it works well and using a standard table keeps the chart range dynamic.
However this is a very clunky solution involving repeating the data tables in excel. I need to create dozens of charts and it will get large and slow.I would like to create the whole thing in a powerpivot table using measures so i can use powerpivot charts and ultimately powerBI. The data column PasID is a text column so I need a measure that calculates the "count of PasID" for each day(the row labels) and then repeats that value down a whole column in the same way the standard table does. I couldn't figure out how to get the correct number repeat down the whole column, which measures to use,Whether to create calculated columns in the data model or any of it. SO I need to be able to get a count of a text column then display the average of that count in a second column all the way down.

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".
View 15 Replies View RelatedIn a calculated column I am trying to get a scalar text value from a lookup to another table. This works quite well when getting numerical values with the following formula:
=MinX(Filter(LookUpTable;LookupTable[from]<=MySourceTable[Day] && LookupTable[to]>=MySourceTable[Day]);LookUpTable[numericalColumn])
But as soon as I substitute the numerical column by a string column, #error results.
I also want to mention that the above query yields only one row as a result. It should be simple to return the value of one of the columns but after searching for quite some time, I could not find any function for that.
I'm trying extract a column from the table based on certain Conditions: This is for PowerPivot.
Here is the scenario:
I have a table "tb1" with (project_id, month_end_date, monthly_proj_cost ) and table "tb2" with (project_id, key_member_type, key_member, start_dt_active, end_dt_active).
I would like to extract Key_member where key_member_type="PM" and active as of tb1(month_end_date).
Is this possible using DAX ?
I have a table ComponentPeriod. In it we have the combination of a component (e.g. A,B,C ) and a period (2014 Q1, 2014 Q2, 2014 January etc)I want the periods to be in descending order (2015 Q4, 2015 Dec, 2015 Nov, 2015 Oct, 2015 Q3 ... etc) and so I need to create a sequential number series to allow this to happen (as we can only order in the client tools by a single column - and so I guess the technique I'm looking for is used a lot to produce these types of "order by" columns)
I have done this in the past using
Period_Sequence =
calculate
(countrows(Period)
,filter
(Period
, Period[Start_Date] <= earlier(Period[Start_Date])
&& Period[Duration_String] = earlier(Period[Duration_String])
)
)
Which was fine when I was referring to a table where Periods where distinct directly but now I have denormalised this for ComponentPeriod so I need something a little more sophisticated Whats the best way to get a sequence with perhaps some partitions in across a subset of distinct columns (I guess from SUMMARIZE or similar)
E.g. I want
Period_Name, Type, Sequence
2015 Q4, Quarter, 1
2015 Dec, Month, 2
2015 Nov, Month, 3
2015 Oct, Month, 4
2015 Q3, Quarter, 5
2015 Sep, Month, 6
etc
even though there may be multiple records in ComponentPeriod that have the period 2015 Q4, but I want them all to have the value Sequence value of 1? I've got as far as:
Period_Sequence Desc =
calculate
(countrows(summarize(ComponentPeriod, ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date]))
,filter
( ComponentPeriod
, ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date] >= earlier(ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date])
)
)
But this doesn't distinguish between the different types. I need an equivalent of the t-sql -
row_number() over (order by Period_End_Date desc, case when 'P3M' then 1 when 'P1M' then 2 end asc
I am looking to add a column to one of my tables that displays a running rank of how many times a customer has ordered in a given period.
I currently have such a column however this column ranks against ALL of the orders that a customer has placed and ignores filters, whereas I need one that ranks based on the filters that are active at any given time.
The current formula is:
CustOrderCountPersistant=RANKX(FILTER('Q1 Data Set',[k1_customer_id]=EARLIER([k1_customer_id])),[order_id],[order_id],1,DENSE)
For example, if I am looking at a full years worth of data and a customer has placed 10 orders in that period this formula will add a 1 in the column for first order, a 2 for the second and so forth all the way to 10, the last order.
However it will give me exactly the same results if I filter the data to just one month of that year where they may have order only 2 orders.
In this scenario I want to have another column with a table that is filter sensitive and would show 1 for the first order and 2 for the second order.
Now, I do understand that the issue here is probably the FILTER() I have on as, if I understand correctly, that means all other filters are ignored. My attempts at reworking the formula to remove this have been unsuccessful (such as using a CALCUALTE and trying to use filter properties within that forumula).
To explain the context - I want to create a measure that counts how many customers have placed x amount orders in y number of days e.g. how many customers have placed 2 orders in 30 days.
Is it possible to include a currency symbol in an amount-field in PowerPivot/Pivottable based on a Currency column in a table? Something as the same as with SSAS MD. And I don't want fixed values in my code.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Slow loading issue with an if statement. In the raw data the field [Location] is a text field e.g. 0010. I have a parameterised query that get a Location_Value from Excel and passes it to the PQ query using:
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Other Columns", each ([SalesMode] = 0) and ([SalesType] = 0) and ([Location] = Location_Value))
This works fine if you chose a single location. However I wanted to be able to select all locations and text is horrible to work with so in PQ I used the change type function to change the location column into whole numbers. I changed excel to also pass a number as Location_Value. I was therefore surprised when the same query took 2.5 times longer to refresh????
My PQ now looks like this
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Other Columns",{{"Location", Int64.Type}}),
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([SalesMode] = 0) and ([SalesType] = 0) and ([Location] = Location_Value))
I'm wondering if I need to do something to the ([Location] = Location_Value) bit as maybe it still thinks [Loation] is text and it is trying to compare it to a number. I st assumed the step above meant that [Location] was now a number, but maybe you still have wrap it with some kind of VALUES or TEXT function?
