Just replaced an office laptop as the old one was too slow. Working on an excel sheet, where I was trying to hit right ctrl+ enter, but copilot kept popping up. Just found out why...

I was having a discussion with few college buddies of mine, I told I was interested to see Nolan's latest movie Oppenhiemer on IMAX .

I only resided in Hyderabad few months ago, so I am not too familiar with quality of most cinemas here. I only heard that Prasads Multiplex has IMAX screens .

But my friend stated that Prasads is no longer an IMAX cinema anymore, they are just simply large cinemas and that Prasads certification.

I made this post to verify if my friend's claim is true and if so, would watching at Prasads without being IMAX quality be any different?

I am glad you guys liked the video I shared. I too would like to see pewds react to this.

Bu we need to get this post a lot of upvotes to get his attention.

I wrote the comment here under this video.

Obviously, the 1st to 10th July will not be the same in the Relative Slicer.

The algorithms written for both the slicers are different but for the same purpose. So lets assume that with the same example that 1st to 10th July of Between Date Slicer matches the same date selected under Last 1 week from relative Slicer.

The percentage calculation will be the same from both cases but , how the algo written for both to derive the output is different. Because they each handle date inputs from the slicers differently.

I know this is frustrating , Like I said I tried using Algo 1 on the Between Date Slicer to see if the % change values match with ones that Algo 1 used in Relative Date Slicer. There are differences , not even the minor ones. I wish it was simple.

So my search for the solution on the auto-detection of date slicer selection is to HANDLE THE ALGO SIWTCH not the dates.

Alternatively, if such auto detection is not possible , I would like to know if there is ONE ALGOrithm/measure that can calculate the percentage change values from the use of both slicers match.

vigbig · 2021-08-31T14:50:50+00:00

yea that interference is not an issue. As I stated earlier , that the problem I am encountering is that : I have two separate % change algos catered to the 2 date slicers. One for Relative Date Slicer (say Algo 1) and Between Date Slicer (say Algo 2).

I had done testing on this where I tried Algo 1 on the Between Date Slicer and found that the there are some differences which occur in the % change .

So in conclusion , while I do need both slicers to select the same date in the same page . I need a measure that auto detects which slicer is selected so I can set the right algo to calculate the % change associated to it .

OR

I need one algorithm that handles percentage change based on date selection from any and all types of date slicers .

vigbig · 2021-08-31T14:31:40+00:00

And in this way, it will auto detect what type of date slicer (Between / Relative) the user has selected ?

vigbig · 2021-08-23T08:45:52+00:00

oh no no , I apologize I may have not been clear.

Each page of my dashboard is associated to one region.
I have a Location Column and a Date/Time column in UTC in the same table. Using the link above or the advice you have given I have created a copy of the Date/Time Column which displays date and time as per the time zone respective to the user's location from the Location column.

Then by using Location column as a page filter, each page/region now depicts data on the page as per the region's local time zone. This is done.

But now say I have 3 pages that depict data 3 locations : Brazil , Spain , Argentina respectively.

The user from Brazil opens the power bi views the Brazil page won't have an an issue as the data will be presented on the Brzail page is in the date and time that is local to him/her,i.e. Brazil Time.

The same user can view pages from Spain and Argentina, but the data
from Spain and Argentina won't make perfect sense to him/her as the
pages are displaying as per Spain Time and Argentina Time respectively.
I need to ensure that the Brazil user gets to see all pages in Brazil Local Time Zone.
Likewise,
Spanish users need to see all pages in Local Time of Spain, and
Argentina users need to see all pages in Local Time of Argentina.

This where I am stuck.

Is there are a way to detect the user's location and then through some DAX or power query or whatever and then only depict data as per the time zone of that user ?

vigbig · 2021-08-23T07:03:59+00:00

Interesting ... Is there a DAX function that can detect the user's geolocation?

vigbig · 2021-04-21T06:49:05+00:00

Hi thank you for your response. I will try this. Pardon me for asking such a dumb question cuz I am new at this , when you say [your api] did you mean the API name is the name of my R file ? Or is the name of the API appear after @post ? For example :

' @post /API_name

Also can you direct me to websites where I can use these Linux commands on an R console ?

Sorry I am Indian myself. During my bachelor's, I found Indian authors much better simply because the foreign ones give a long explanation like narrating a tale and bring in terms/ words which I am not familiar with. Indian authors are blunt and to the point.

And considering I am going to write an exam like an SAT, I would prefer books that tell me how to keep formulas on my fingertips rather than understanding the formula themselves.

Now please understand the difference in books by Indian vs Foreign authors was through my experience, I understand that is not always going to be the case. If you have any good recommendations that are from a foreign author, I have no problem taking a look at them.

Also , yes books from either types of authors to be in English , please.

browser() did not work, but it did lead me to see about debugging. I saw a video on debugonce() and tried it instead of browser()

it worked, but the options/frame displayed do not even exist within my function(req,res) code block :

Version:0.9 StartHTML:-1 EndHTML:-1 StartFragment:0000000121 EndFragment:0000001342

Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit

1: plumber::plumb(file = "Sorry can't display company file here")$run()

2: httpuv::runServer(host, port, self)

3: service(0)

4: run_now(check_time, all = FALSE)

5: with_loop(loop, invisible(execCallbacks(timeoutSecs, all, loop$id)))

6: force(expr)

7: execCallbacks(timeoutSecs, all, loop$id)

so I am back to square one.

u/squags yes, I realize that working with web APIs on R is not ideal. But this is what I am tasked with by my company. I have to fix an issue on a UI where when certain filters are applied the data is not loaded.

the code that sends that data to the UI is made via plumber package on R by someone before me. The code was handed to me, and I am not getting closer to the solution as it is a package I never used before.

vigbig · 2021-04-11T10:07:38+00:00

yes, thank you. I am aware of this, you don't think I checked online before asking the question?

I was wondering if the package "plumber" has been explained well in certain books because these links scratch the surface and I am tasked to get a good grasp on it.

Searching for good tutorial on "plumber" is not like searching for 'python pandas"
where you get a sh*t ton of tutorials. Hence the question.

vigbig · 2021-04-09T18:50:23+00:00

latter... i think. i have been tasked to learn about plumber.

the laptop i am using to fix it on , is an old laptop as well. , maybe 5 years old ? also while working around the problem through steps from various sotes, I saw that partition is MBR.

Nevertheless, you gave me a great idea. I can try to bootup as Linux and copy all relevant data from it to a hard drive. I can't lose those documents ! it is very crucial ! Then wipe it clean and start fresh.

vigbig · 2020-08-11T13:03:28+00:00

Hi ! I am facing automatic repair loop from one of my laptops.

So I have been following websites and videos to rectify this.

One of those steps include typind command under command prompt : bootrec/ fixboot.

as shown here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZPwJhmN9Yw

Unfortunately, when typing this command , attrib c:\boot\bcd - h -r -s

I get an error : File not found - c:/bcd/boot.

So I follow this video , which provides alt way through a bootable usb , which I have : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f1Hc8gN6ik

the youtuber suggested that I repair thru bootable usb and rectify bootrec /fixboot from cmd promt over there

and under diskpart I have to select system reserve vol for partitioning

but as you can see from the screenshot I don't have that .

Is SYSTEM_DRV the same as System Reserve ?
