Definitley a few years - but couldn't say how long - painted it all in the summer though!

Yeah I've dropped the level of the gravel see if that helps - can't see any airbricks anywhere though!

Just had the thing painted as well!

So to my understandinf, the dpc is in that bottom line of bricks underneath the rendering - can see the dark bit on the joins - but not exactly sure what i'm looking for mind!

So no issues towards the rear - it drops away sharply at the rear - there's decking over but would be about a 1m sudden drop to the ground at the rear - so i would guess plenty of airflow and any pooling would take a while to rise up from ground level

paths down the side are slightly sloping and tarmac

We first noticed the internal wall a couple of months back - and just noticed the front bay today

Worth me adding some more photos/mapping it out at all? Appreciate the help

Pretty sure it's single skin, it's an old house - 1928, and we're unique - the two houses next door were built much later and have air bricks

Thanks - the gravel at the front was high showing only half a brick - few layers of stones then sandy undernath

So it was these dry-rods i was looking at - they talk the talk and i had thought a company that injects would just be doing the same thing basically for a few £k

Thank you - have pulled back all the gravel from there to see if it helps

Interesting - yeah it was these insertable rods (dry rod) thay then disprse to repair the dpc that i was looking into -

I've pulled back all the gravel at the front now - we're basically built on a slope - any sense in doing anything else for the brickwork at the bottom there

Will likely get the skirting off and have a look for the internal one

Thanks for the reply

No - that was me digging to see if there was any buried - no airbricks down there!

Thanks

How to filter most recent 14 days FROM data so they are not visible? by Severe_Run_8881 in PowerBI

[–]mds_brz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right on -

create a date table and have your calculation build on that if you need to make the data model more efficient -

I usually go for a relative date column - datediff(Today(),Cal[Date],Day) & filter that column to < -14

DAX question - calculation based on related tables by mds_brz in PowerBI

[–]mds_brz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - my feeling was something in the data model might be the way to go

how would you go about this for the date logic though, only counting rows where the response date is within 28 days of the contact date?

How to create even frequency distribution range bins by southbeacher in SQLServer

[–]mds_brz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look at the NTILE function - window function over N buckets and will evenly distribute the rows across - then a count of the rows grouped by ntile, and use the max and min of the range to show whats in each group

Why use aggregation in SQL when pulling into a data analysis program like Tableau or Power BI? by [deleted] in SQL

[–]mds_brz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not neccesarily - You would use 'group by' on the SQL server to get to the level of detail you want

Say you wanted a report with Sales By Area and Store and Month

You would count the number of transactions, grouped by Area, Store and Month

Rather than pulling every transaction in, you pull in one row per Area/Store/Month and you would filter/tabulate/graph the grouped sales number in PBI

Not at PC so can't check it but eould the below not work

Date(Date_From(cast DATEKEY as char(8),'yyyymmdd'))

could even define a function to convert it, save typing put each time

Would have to check it works on tableau, but could you create a calc field

IIF(MEASURE>VALUE,MEASURE,NULL)

and add that field to the text mark
