Customer Wants To Remove Power User (was Need Some Advise)
Jul 19, 2007
Hi everyone,
I have a customer that wants to remove a power user
from her company.
She has given him the SA password (against my advise)
and he has his own user account setup in the database.
I am not sure if he has created any backdoor(s) into the
SQL box or not - I left him kinda on his own and didn't
pay too much attention to him.
I assume people have faced this problem before,
and i am looking for a best practices or "here is what we did"
post mortem of how they handled the issue.
thanks
tony

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 have 2 tables below:
Table 1:
Product No Quantity
A 1
B 2
C 3
Table 2:
Product No Grade Quantity
A Good
A Normal
A Bad
B Good
B Bad
C Good
C Normal
C Bad
In Table 2, Product No divided by Grade. I want to lookup the Quantity from Table 1 to Table 2. The same Product No will have 1 value, the other value is 0. The result for Column Quantity should be like this:
Table 2:
Product No Grade Quantity
A Good 1
A Normal 0
A Bad 0
B Good 2
B Bad 0
C Good 3
C Normal 0
C Bad 0

We are running SQL server 2003 with SP3. I'm trying to
shrink a data files with the emptyfile option so I can
eventually remove the file using the alter database
command. However, I get the following error message when I
run the alter database command:
Error: the file PRADATA4 cannot be removed because it is
not empty.
The file that I'm trying to remove still has 62 extents on it.
I looked MS Knowledge base 254253 and 279511 on this problem but they say it is corrected by SQL server 7.0 with service pack 3.
commands that I'm running are as follows:
1) USE PRA
DBCC TRACEON(8901)
DBCC SHRINKFILE ('PRADATA4', EMPTYFILE)
DBCC TRACEOFF(8901)
2) USE PRA
GO
ALTERDATABASE PRA
REMOVE FILE PRADATA4
GO
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I have several reports in a Power View Gallery. In Gallery view, most of the reports show the "Open New Excel Workbook", the "Create Power View Report", and the "Manage Data Refresh" buttons on the right side of the report list. Why would some reports not have these buttons available? In the attached image you can see one report with the buttons and one without the buttons.

I'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?

When updating a Power Query Source in Power Pivot, I'm getting the following error message:
Basically saying that OLE DB or ODBC-error occured when:
- Connections have been imported from a different workbook or
- the workbook has been created in a newer Version of Excel
None of which is the case here. What can cause this?

I have opened an account in [URL] and taken the 60 days trial for power bi pro. I've developed power pivot and generated power views in share point 2013. But, I'm new to Power BI desktop. I have created a report in power BI desktop and published to [URL]. Also, I have uploaded an excel file directly to [URL] and created the report from the workspace available there itself and pinned the report to dashboard also. Everything is fine till this. But, I need to refresh the file which I have uploaded. I have some dummy data in excel sheet.
ZipCode State ZipName
2345 AA AA
456 BB BB
6787 CC CC
This has been created as a table and then added to data model. So, power pivot has been created for the same. Then I have uploaded this file to [URL] site. But, I'm getting an error message while trying to schedule refresh for the same.
"You cannot schedule refresh for this dataset because it does not contain data model connections. You cannot schedule refresh on worksheet connections or linked tables. To schedule refresh the data must be loaded into the data model."
How can I create a data model connection? How can I schedule refresh for an excel file like this?

I'm looking to replace text in a given column given a set of conditions in the other columns. Please see below the M query in the advance editor and in particular the bold text. Here I've created a new entry that would appear in the query applied steps window in the power query editor that I have called "Replace Values". The logic is if Data.Column4 column equals "London" then replace null values in Data.Column5 with London. However when I save the query below I get the error
Expression.Error: There is an unknown identifier. Did you use the [field] shorthand for a _[field] outside of an 'each' expression?
I plan to change the expression to test for multiple conditions however I need to get the basic expression working first. The other frustration i had with the "if" statement is it had to have an else even though I didn't require it, am i doing something wrong here?
let
FullFilePath = "C:PermanentDwellings.xlsx",
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(FullFilePath)),
#"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Data", {"Column1", "Column10", "Column11", "Column12", "Column13", "Column14", "Column15", "Column16",

I want to show on Power BI Dashboard a moving average - for example, I want to always show the last 30 measurement of body temperature but it looks like Power BI dashboard shows all measurements I have and compress them - which makes the dashboard ugly.
I tried to customize the X-axis properties but I dont know what I should change the default start/stop properties to (where the default property value is automatic).

But my requirement is I need to refresh the Power BI from the power Pivot Datamodel(I'm expecting an option like Import from Power Pivot in Tableau).

One big reason why we have turned to Power BI for Office 365 is to share Power Pivot models with our senior executives who all use Macs.
While they have been able to successfully view the Power Pivot models and interact with the Slicers in Power BI, they have not been able to print the reports. We thought it was a Mac issue but it's happening on PCs too. There doesn’t seem to be a way to resize the report so that all columns print. So we then tried to click on the tiny button located in the bottom right corner that says “View Full-Size Workbook.” The file then opens up in Excel Online. Then when we click on the printer icon, we see the report but the slicer becomes invisible. When printing, all columns do show up however the slicer is invisible.
How to successfully print Power Pivot reports with slicers in Power BI?

Version: SQL Server 7.0App: MS Access 2000I created DTS to move records from MySQL to SQL Server (approx over 500,000+per months dataset) for purpose of canned and adhoc reporting. The apphave a simple interface using MS Access where user will input the timeframeof the dataset they will process.Both servers are physically located in the same bldg from another state.Previous to MySQL, they send us cd in text format and my app runs the DTSusing a BAT file containing the DTSRUN command. But I would like stay awayfrom the DTSRUN since they take awhile to load to the server, plus it runson background on client pc. I wanted a functionality where it will run onthe server without user supervision, and they can go about their businessand do something else. In other words, let the server do majority of thework.Now that MySQL came into the picture, the Network Support created a filedsnwhere sqlserver sits and I use that as a reference on my DTS (using UNC,\myserverfile$sample.dsn)The problem:1) I work from home and when creating and running this DTS's, it takes awhile to process;2) When specifying the UNC path on DTS and saved, for some reason itswitches to the User/System DSN section;3) I also tested from office with the same result (i connect using cablemodem)Now the only way I can think of to solve this problem:a) save the DTS as a file and send it over to Network Support and have themload it up and manually change the source location OR have them modify theDTS and change the source locationb) then create a DTS jobThe person who will be running this DTS might be running it from home oroffice. Also, is there a way to automate the DTS job using an SP? I wantedto make it as easier as possible for the end user, where all they have to dois enable the job and run only for this time and for this package.TIA!Bob

on the 1st opening of my web page it uses the membership control of asp.net
for logging on. sometimes it takes time to logon and worse is, it will
encounter sql server error. that can be resolved by just restarting that
specific page and it will be alright, it will logon normally. this only issue happens only on the first opening of the logon page.
i have read a certain article and it says there that on the first time
you access the sql server, sometimes the sql server needs a little more
time communicating back and forth.
how can i make my log-on page wait a little longer till it communicates
or finishes communicating to the sql server?
im afraid that this may happen once i deploy my web project. i am
expecting over 100 users and they might save to the database all
together. will i encounter problem on this particular?
i am using ASP.NET 2.0 and SQLExpress for this project. pls advise me.
BIG THANKS.
