Rank Order Network

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to rank order a network.  I have two columns with "start" and "end" destinations of each segment of the network.  In the case of this problem, there will always be a last destination, though their may be multiple paths into the network.  I've included a simple example.


To do this in C++ or Matlab I would use a For Loop and something like an insertion sort algorithm to build the list where the prior row's "end" is equal to current rows "start" then apply the rank order to the sorted list by group.  I know in principle that I would perform this in M by wrapping it in a Group function, but beyond that I'm uncertain how to compare different columns in different row in this way.

In the event of ties (where two nodes feed into one) which is given each rank is not important.

How do we apply color in horizantal way like Row wise? For example we have a table shown below and it has values from Col1 to 5 and I want to apply the color variations based on the value like if it is max then it should be red and min value should apply green and all middle values should apply orange. How can we achieve that?

Very weird problem

November 30, 2019, 3:11 am

In power Bi I have some self made columns where everything seems correct:

Schermafbeelding 2019-11-30 om 11.52.40.png

RunningCharge is a column with a cumulative sum beginning at the start of the year and sums all charges to that date

And Maxpermonth is a column where he takes the maximum value of per month of RunningCharge

 

I made an visualization where every month contains the sum of all charges for that certain month and there is a line in that chart that shows the maximum value per month for the running charge. So you can see the cumulative charge over the year and see which months have the most influence of that cumulative run.

(I can not show the visualization for private reasons, but I can show this:)

Schermafbeelding 2019-11-30 om 12.01.19.png

 

Now the weird part. You see I choose the median of the Maxpermonth for the line. The reason for that is that is the only way it works. When I choose the maximum, minimum or average, if it worked correctly, it should not make any difference, because all the values for one month in the column Maxpermonth are the same. But somehow it gives totally different values.

 

Now the even more weird part of it. When I choose for example maximum, he chooses the maximum for some months that don't even have that maximum in it. For example, in April 2017 there was a maximum of about €70.000. For April 2017, he gives that value, but also for some other months which makes no sense at all, even for months (not only April) in 2018 he gives the same value. When I look at the columns there is really nothing wrong with it.

 

Sorry for not sharing the plots, but I just can't share that information

Card showing wrong rowcount. whatif filter ignored

November 30, 2019, 6:35 am

my data source is star schema datamart

i have a simple viz that's filtered by slicers based on dimension attribute values

i also have a whatif param that i'm using to filter the viz to only records where my physical measure is less than or equal to the whatif value

 

i've set it up by doing a calc in my fact table:= measure - whatif value

then i added this as a filter to the viz and set it as less than or equal to 0. I'm not sure if there's a less convoluted way of setting this up?

 

I want to add a card or something that shows a simple # of rows that make up the viz but the number i'm getting is too big. I've verified it by changing my viz to a table; i can see it's 20 rows but the row count card is showing 200+

 

it seems like the card is ignoring the whatif filter and i cant seem to add it to the card as a filter and configure it

 

is this a bug?

is there a workaround?

Returning a balance sheet value in a matrix for end of period (Y, Q, M)

PBIX file is here: PBIX File 

 

The tab in question is titled Power BI Forums Help

 

I have monthly data in an unpivoted table and I'm trying to create a measure that pulls in the latest month if my matrix column is drilled to month, latest quarter if drilled to column, and latest year if drilled to year.  

 

The measures work when the matrix is drilled down to month, but are summing across the time periods (all three months in a quarter, all 12 months in a year), when drilled up.

 

If I break the relationship between my Date table and my data table, the Matrix works as intended, but I need to keep the Date/data relationship for other visuals.

 

Here's the structure of the measure:

_BS Single = CALCULATE( SUM('_Monthly Balance Sheet'[Balance]), FILTER('_Monthly Balance Sheet', MONTH('_Monthly Balance Sheet'[Period]) = CALCULATE(MAX('Calendar'[Month Number])) && YEAR('_Monthly Balance Sheet'[Period]) = CALCULATE(MAX('Calendar'[Year])) && LEFT('_Monthly Balance Sheet'[Item Number],5) = VALUES('_Formatting Table'[Group Set]) ) )

Average by category quick measure

Average Parts per Day =
AVERAGEX(
KEEPFILTERS(VALUES('UGUExports'[Occured].[Day])),
CALCULATE(COUNTA('UGUExports'[Part]))
)

 

The above formula is a quick measure I use to calculate the average parts per day submitted to my database. This formula works fine, but when I manually calculate the average parts submitted per day I get a value off by 8 parts per day. 

 

What I think is happening is that the above formula is calculating the average based on the dates listed in the [occured] column. What I need is it to calculate the average based on all days between firstdate[occured] and lastdate[occured]. 

 

Basically, I need the formula to account for days in between submission dates too. 

 

Can someone help with creating a formula to accomplish this? I am new to Power Bi and would really appreciate the guidence.

 

Thanks in advance.

time duration between time frames

November 30, 2019, 10:47 am
$

Hi all,
I'm trying to calculate the duration of an event, but expressed as its parts falling between specific time frames.
There are two tables, stops_table and hours_table:
stops_table shows the event start and end time, 

Stop startStop end
14:5215:30
19:5120:10
20:1121:24

,while hours_table shows the time frames, expressed as hour start and hour end.

hour starthour end
14:3015:00
15:0016:00
16:0017:00
17:0018:00
18:0019:00
19:0020:00
20:0021:00
21:0022:00


I need to calculate the duration in minutes, applying pretty much the following logic:

if stop start > hour start and stop end < hour end, then duration = stop end - stop start

if stop start > hour start and stop end > hour end, then duration = hour end - stop start

if stop start < hour start and stop end < hour ned, then duration = stop end - hour start
I am able to get there using DAX and utilizing FIRSTNONBLANK and LASTNONBLANK functions then filtering using the if statements.
The result is table like this:

hour starthour endstop startstop endstop duration
14:3015:0014:5215:008
15:0016:0015:0015:3030
16:0017:00   
17:0018:00   
18:0019:00   
19:0020:0019:5120:009
20:0021:0020:0020:1010
21:0022:0021:0021:2424


The problem is that, the above table is wrong, as there are cases where events with stop ends in a specific time frame and then another event starts in the same time frame, like this case:
In the time frame between 20:00 and 21:00, an event stopped at 20:10 (that started at 19:51), but another one started at 20:11 and lasted until 21:24. so the correct table visualization would be like this one:

hour starthour endstop i startstop i endstop n startstop n endstop duration
14:3015:0014:5215:00  8
15:0016:0015:0015:30  30
16:0017:00     
17:0018:00     
18:0019:00     
19:0020:0019:5120:00  9
20:0021:0020:0020:1020:1121:0010+49=59
21:0022:00  21:0021:2424

Filter Values Between Dates

November 30, 2019, 11:38 am

I am really struggling with this filter issue.

 

The table involved (Fees_WIP) contains Work in Progress values for a services company. The table includes the date the value was added to the Work in Progress (i.e., the date of the service) and the date the value was subtracted from Work in Progress (i.e., the date of payment for the service). A relationship exists between [DateInWIP] and the dates table.

 

I am trying to calculate the runing total WIP value for any given date. Conceptually, the total on any given date would be

the SUM of WIP where DateInWIP <= DATE && DateOutWIP > DATE.

 

I have made many attempts at this, but keep running into errors.

 

Thanks.

Hi

 

I know this might be a silly question, but does anyone know what this means? Should i take this literally and have to keep my laptop on during refresh times?

 

Or could there be an error at source server, where the Fact table comes from. I tried refreshing today to get yesterdays data and its not coming through in Desktop in my tablesm, so it seems to be at source. Is that what this message is saying?

 

"Your data gateway (personal mode) is offline or could not be reached. Ensure the gateway computer is on and you are logged on to it during the scheduled refresh period"

 

Any advice appreciated.

Hi all,

 

I have a problem with my calendar table.

I create a max_date measure, and POWER BI undrestand it is a datetime value.

Same when I create a same_max_date_last_week = max_date - 7, and POWER BI undrestand it is a datetime value, too.

But when I create a same_max_date_last_month = DATEVALUE( EDATE( [max_date], -1 ) ) & " " & TIME ( 23,59,59), the POWER BI cannot undrestand it is a datetime value, only know the measure is a text value.

 

Please take a look at my screenshoot, and the file on the link below and give me some help.

(Sorry if I'm not good at English).

Many thank!

Help with % Mix which then becomes recursive

Hi there, happy holidays everyone.  

Here is the challenge I am facing.  I have a product mix that i am using for a certain month, for example january, then i want to apply a new number for January but apply the product mix percentages that were previously calculated.  I am using measures to calculate the % of total (as in the sample below) but when I apply it to the new value that i would like to spread powerbi calls out a recursive error because i want to replace the original January values with the new values.

 

Is there a way around this?  i tried to create a disconnected table with the percentages housed in them but that didn't work.  I am sure there must be an easy way to solve this.  Thanks for your help!

Append Queries do now show in the Query Pane.

Hello all. I am a bit new to BI but I love it.

I am following a great book from Packts. At some point we are creating an Append query with three other queries (January, February and March). The queries are perfectly correct to be appended. Only the Month differs.

In the Append dialog box, in the Table to append list I have:

January (Current)

February

March

 

Once completed the book says that the result should be a new query called Append1. There are other steps I am suppose do with the query. It adds: This new query should consist of a single step, Source. The Formula Bar should display:

= Table.Combine ({January, February, March})

Problem is that the query Append1 never appears. There is nothing new in the Queries Pane. Tried it 3 times. So I am having trouble continuing the tutorial. I thought of entering the M code above in a New Query and it works but the name was different. Still that allowed me to continue with the book.

I looked at YouTube videos on Append Queries in Power BI that did show Append1 but other video did not.

Please someone enlighten me regarding this. If I didn't have that M code I would not be able to finish the Tut.

I am currently using: Version: 2.75.5649.861 64-bit (November 2019)

I am appreciative of the time one can take to comment on my question.

Below is my Queries pane after the Append query is created. There is no Append1 query.

hi,

i'm doing a financial report that uses charts of accounts (with numerous account codes / account names) such as 

account code    account names             account type
10000-10999     cash                             assets

11000-11999     account receivables     assets

20000-20999     account payable           liabilities

21000-21999     other creditors              liabilities

...

30000-30999     rent income                   income

31000-31999     book sales                     income

....

40000-40999     utility expense                expense

41000-41999     salary expense                expense

 

note:
there are more subcodes for different account names under each account code range.

 

kindly advise on how to sum up the value/amount for each account code that will be put under each account code range.

 

subsequenly, we need to also sum up according to assets, liabilities, expenses, & revenue.

 

for info, i'm doing this for 50+ organizations that are clustered according to geographical zones (e.g. north, south, east, west) that will eventually also be summed up at the geographical zones and finally as 1 consolidated financial report.

 

tks, -nik
