$

Can you please provide me your inputs on how good power Bi can handle 20 or 30 Million records for a dashboard data source?

 

How good is the Data source refresh extract goes? Will it be good to have scheduled refresh or Live?

 

I have read some where that it will handle 1 million rows in one hour, Isn't it very slow?. I have used Tableau and that refresh 1 million rows in 3-4 mins.

 

Any inputs are greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.


Calculate End of Month Balance - DAX

$
0
0

I have 20 vendors.  Each vendor has a customer base.  I want to calculate the customer base at the end of the month in Power Pivot / DAX.  The calculation is:

 

Beginning of this month customer count (same last month end of month customer count)

Plus New Customers

Minus Dropped Customers

Equals this month end of month customer count

 

I think the way to do it is to have a calculated column in the Power Pivot table called EOM Count.  The formula in this column would be:

 

EOM Count from the preceding row plus adds from this row minus drops from this row.  

 

I haven't worked out the formula, I want to be sure I have the concept correct first.

 

Also, since I have multiple vendors, each with their own ID, I should be able to add the EOM Count field in my pivot table, then filter it in the pivot table when I add a vendor column.  Is this correct?

 

Thank you,

Bruce

Gross Margin Column For Customer without Creating New Table

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I am looking to create a column that has the total gross margin for the customer on each row. This is transactional data, so the customers are not unique in the columns. How I would typically do this is create a new table, summarize the current one with Customer, sum of sales, and sum of cost. Create a new column for customer margin, create a relationship with the original data, and create a new column in the original data using the related function. 

 

This works, but it would be nice not having to create a new table for any time I need to do this. I'm assuming CALCULATE and ALL will be used.

 

Thanks for any help.

power bi row level filtering for group email addresses

I've tested RLF and it appears that group email addresses isn't supported. is that correct?

Individual email addresses work fine but when adding a group email - users cannot access the report at all.

 

i have around 50 different roles that i would need to create and i would need to assign 3 people to each (for each report). each of the 50 roles should not be able to see the data from the other 49. is there any other approach/functionality that might be useful here?

Calculating current Quarter

I'm trying to create a calculated column to return the current quarter like I do for current month. I use these mostly as a visualization filter so the report updates to the current information.

This is the formula I use for Current Month:

CurrentMonth = IF(YEAR('LST Report'[EffectiveDate])&MONTH('LST Report'[EffectiveDate])=YEAR(NOW())&MONTH(NOW()),1,0)

This is what I'm trying for Current Quarter, it is not working as I would expect.

CurrentQuarter = IF(YEAR('LST Report'[EffectiveDate])&MONTH('LST Report'[EffectiveDate]+2/3)=YEAR(NOW())&MONTH(NOW()+2/3),1,0)

 Any thoughts are appreciated

Dear Power BI Community,

 

As always, thank you for your helpful responses.

I'm having trouble now presenting my data in a custom end of year. I believe my DAX calculated formula is correct, but the axis is still in the default order.

How can I get my axis months to sort according to my custom end of year of September 1st?

 

My calendar table is a simple:

Calendar = Calenday("01-01-2010", Today())

 

Thank youFinicky fiscal year sorting.JPG

 

 

Update Table fields based on selected chart's bar

$

Hello Experts,

 

I had a quick questions regarding a bar in a chart that is based on a measure.
I have clustered column chart with 3 bars, each bar represents a  measure, below the chart i have a table with some fields related to the meausre.

My question is whether it's possible to have the data in the table filtered  based on clicking a certain bar.

 

The measures/bars values in the bar are not included in the table.

 

For example, I have one bar with the name of "planned" this  is measure that grabs all projects that are scheduled to begin in the current month and are in specific "stage". The measure works fine.

Now i have a table just under this chart with some project names. Can the data in this table be filtered if i click the "Planned" projects bar without having this measure in the table? so then i would see only the "Planned" projects in the table?

 

I assume I would need either the a generic fielf in the chart or had the measure in the table, but definetively wanted to double-check and verify.

 

Thanks!

Grouped data does not drill down correctly

$

I'm after using the group functionality to create 6 groups from a field called donor. When I create a table that has the donor (groups) as  a column header, my measures give the correct results. However when I create a table with the individual donor, the measures output are that of the overall group. e.g.

 

Group Table

Group  ; Kgs Received;

Group 1 ; 98 kgs

 

Individual Donor Table

 

Donor; Kgs delivered;

Donor 1 ; 98 kgs

Donor 2 ; 98 kgs

Donor 3 ; 98 kgs

 

when they should be

 

Individual Donor Table (corrected)

 

Donor; Kgs delivered;

Donor 1 ; 10kgs

Donor 2 ; 30kgs

Donor 3 ; 58kgs

 

DAX measure is

 

Tonne Food Received = CALCULATE(sum('Monthly Data'[Total Kilos])/1000, NOT(ISBLANK('Monthly Data'[donor])),'Monthly Data'[Transaction Type] = "Received")

 

I'd expect the DAX expression to only evaluate for the rows where donor = donor1 etc. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated!

 

Many thanks,

Brendan

I have the Power BI desktop version and we are testing it for my company.  I can publish reports to the web, but my Share button underneath the Publish button is disabled.  How can I enable this button so I can share reports?  I watched a "how to" video on sharing reports but the share button does not work for me for some reason.

 

I tried reloading the app but it is still greyed out.  Any help is appreciated!

Slicer - Date and Time

Struggling with a slicer issue, my data has a date and time stamp in the format "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM" in my query editor, have have split the column to "mm/dd/yyyy" and "hh:mm AM" , so far so good. The data types are defined as "date" and "time"

 

In my report I have applied a date slicer which works perfectly, however my time slicer returns a date format in mm/dd/yyyy as opposed to hh:mm AM, so despite the data being collected and time stamped in the last 72 hours, the time slice is showing 12/30/1899........

 

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

Am trying to create a column using IF to assign an entity name for for account numbers within particular range.

 

For example:

 

Account number with range 70000 to 79999 and 1050000 to 1059999 call them Entity one 

Account number with range 80000 to 89999 call them entity two 

 

Am I wrong using the IF? I think am not putting the logic of =< and => correctly in the formula 

 

 

Appreciate any help

I have used the calculate function along with switch to use multiple criteria against the same field value as below :

 

H1 = calculate(sum('ytd dec''16'[VALUE]),switch('ytd dec''16'[MONTH],"jul",true(),false()))

 

but this formula does not seem to return any value - i intend to extend it to several other filters and was testing the formula with just one month as the criterion

 

can I get some urgent help on this? thank you

 

Power BI Desktop returning complete non-sense from Google Analytics

$

Hey all,

 

I cant seem to get the Google Analytics Connector in Power BI Desktop to work properly. Especially when I query custom dimensions, the data is completely messed up and not accurate at all (I mean not even remotely accurate; e.g. the query explorer or GA Webpage returns 500 rows, PowerBI returns 100 or sometimes even below 20 rows).

 

I can not figure out what I am doing wrong - I am a 100% certain that I query the right GA account, the right property and the correct view. I am also 100% certain and even quadruple-checked that I have no filters active and definitely check the correct dimensions & metrics.

 

Do you have any idea, why BI Desktop returns completely different und incomplete data, while Query Explorer and GA Web do return the exact and (apparently) correct data? Is there anything I miss? Because as far as I can reproduce, the issue only emerges when querying custom dimensions.

 

Best Regards,

Jannis
