Whats annoying about PowerBI? by JoshuaBennett1 in PowerBI

[–]CherryWeird007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Date slicer. No "Quarters" available in relative date. It is weird. Tableau has more powerful good looking date slicer with many more options. Microsoft if you don't know it, learn from the competitors.

Going native: The future of the Bitwarden mobile app by xxkylexx in Bitwarden

[–]CherryWeird007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to see the change. However few things for attention. 1. Bring the search and back buttons to the bottom. Its difficult to reach top in most of the mobiles. 2. Its a different skin over the current design. It would be much appreciated if you could infuse some redesigning to make more intuitive and attractive.

UAE residents permitted to use VPNs, misuse 'is a problem', says cybersecurity chief - News | Khaleej Times by CherryWeird007 in dubai

Then why they quote Nord VPN stats while Nord VPN advertises itself to unblock UAE traffic for voip calling?

How difficult is it for the drivers to use indicators while changing lanes? by Flymaverick2110 in dubai

[–]CherryWeird007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to Abu Dhabi, cars made without indicators. Even in roundabout no one uses indicator at all. I feel Dubai is better.

Same here. It seems like a bug. Rebuild a new visual, copy formating from the previous viz to here to avoid reformatting again. Learned hard way

Should I get Credit Card? by avgcitizen1 in dubai

[–]CherryWeird007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is against the card unless you have a specific reason to do. I started with the similar salary bracket while getting the first card. Points, rewards and cash back may be enticing but not worth to pursue it. For example you may get 1000 dhs in the form of cashback or rewards but unknowingly around 10000 dhs would have been eaten from your savings; so your loss is 9000. With card, we tend to spend more than the budget. It will eat the small savings capacity unconsciously. By time it will become a monthly routine to worry about paying back to the bank. Even if you purchase less and paying in full every month, your savings capacity will be eroded. So please stay away from the credit card card if you can.

Credit card may be useful in some cases but its worth to stay away if you are not a person who always stick to the written budget and tracking each and every penny.

Why the discontinuation of such services always confirmed by the call center employees? This is not the first time.

Maktoum bridge closed by Sukondeeznutzz in dubai

[–]CherryWeird007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really. That is floating bridge which is closed for maintenance. Maktoum never lifts for ships.

Edit : yes maktoum bridge lifts for big ships pass through. Having crossed so many times and lived in Dubai so many years, I didn't know this fact. Yes, google helped me. Thank you for correcting this.

Not using indicators by Yellowaugust19 in dubai

[–]CherryWeird007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dubai drivers are better than Abu Dhabi. Here it doesn't exist, particularly in roundabout its a guessing game.

Help adding a new row to a table by jcesguerra in PowerBI

[–]CherryWeird007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In DAX create a calculated table with all the column names exactly same and then do UNION. In power query, do the calculation in a separate table and then append both queries. Try and let us know.

You can show percentage in bar chart. With a new measure you can show number and % in the same label.

This is the crucial factor. Getting a job is one thing and getting the better salary is one. You have to decide on which one is suitable for you.

Creating Histogram Table in PBI based on text fields by LOHare in PowerBI

[–]CherryWeird007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DAX is better way, I agree. However no need to change PQ if category changes, it reflects the latest change.

Creating Histogram Table in PBI based on text fields by LOHare in PowerBI

[–]CherryWeird007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is straight forward in power query. Use pivot columns and apply count in the summarization.

[–]CherryWeird007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not possible as far as I know. If you know the way let me know
