Hi,
I have been using Power Bi for a month or so now and really love it. I have managed to set up a couple of reports/dashboards using the Jira PowerBi content pack and it works great. I have change some of the custom fields to new once using the Jira field Id and get the values into Power Bi properly.
First question:
For some columns I get the "Expand" option from the dropdown menu in the graphical interface for editing the query, but for one column (Incident Classification, custom field), I only see "null" values and therefore don't get the expand option. But I know there are [Record] values in that column (it is shown as [Record] in the report). How can I expand that column some how? In Jira it is a custom field where only one value can be selected (from a drop down), so I assume there should be a "name" value in the record to be expanded and shown in the report. Any ideas on how to expand this field?
Second question:
I'm running the "Time to SLA" plugin in Jira and then manage to import the cusotm field for "SLA Overdue". Power Bi returns a [List] value. The list contains a text like "P2 Resolution: 2d 4h 30min 12s". I assume it could contains two (or more) values on the same format. I would like to have the list transformed to text format, maybe seperated by some delimiter, but I can't get it to work. I tried changing type but then when getting the data from Jira, I get a lot of errors. Any ideas?
Information about my setup
We run Jira on premisis. I'm not that interested in running things in the cloud due to privacy regulations.
I don't really understand the advanced query that much but managed to manipulate it a bit to get my custom fields etc. The advanced edit query looks like this:
let
Source = FetchPages("", 500),

#"Expanded resolution"It's very time consuming to test changes since Power Bi always seems to get all issues and we have around 350 000 issues in Jira so it takes a couple of hours to get the data. For now, I just want to solved my questions below and then I can get this report to the management board and then get a lot more allocated time to work with Power Bi, it has extremely good potential within our company.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or questions!
Kind regards, johan
