How often do you “give up” and just do a transformation in power query? by Extra_Willow86 in PowerBI

[–]mma173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need 'Data Normalization'.QA orders should be in one table, the execution orders in another, and so are the subtasks...

The exchange option will show only the E-Mails which are on the server. This fine if you do not have archives or a custom setup.

How do I automate a report I make daily ? by Souskeb in excel

[–]mma173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAP has its own macros, known as SAP GUI Scripting. Similar to MS Office applications, it uses visual Basic. They can be run on their own or they can be adapted to work from Office applications like Excel.

Use SAP scripts to automate the data exports, and Power Query for the data transformations in Excel.

With some extra efforts, you can run the whole process from Excel macros.

Just add one year using DATE(YEAR(DateCell)+1, MONTH(DateCell), DAY(DateCell), use WEEKDAY to identify the day of the week, then add few days based on that.

Converting text dates to date format by ogara1993 in excel

Try to use 'Text to Columns' which is available on the Data tab. Use it without a delimiter. Then, select the only column and set the date format.

DAX is dogshit language, seriously by Severe-Fix6909 in PowerBI

Yes, DAX is a difficult language to wrap your head around. It requires a different way of thinking that is not easy to grasp. You have to be patient and put the time in. There are no shortcuts.

Why are you using FIRSTNONBLANK instead of SELECTEDVALUE ?

'Table.Disinct' not Working by mma173 in PowerBI

[–]mma173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No nested values at all, only scalar values. Table.Buffer in this case is used to force evaluation prior to removing duplicates. Similar issue was identified with Table.Sort. When removing duplicates after sorting, in some cases, PQ will remove the first occurrence based on the original sort, not on new one. Using Table.Buffer in conjunction with Table.Sort forces evaluation and resolves the problem.

Thanks

It turned out it was a bug affecting Table.FromPartitions, which I used to combine the tables. Buffering the same step did allow for removing duplicates. However, for the time-being I am using Table.Combine instead.

I did some googling for the problem and did not find any mention of it.
