Analyze in Excel open wrong Excel version
Hi masplin
What I would suggest, is to rather download and install the Power BI Publisher for Excel. This is an Add-In that you can install for Excel 2016. And when you have it installed you can then easily connect to your data directly from Excel without having to download the ODC file each time.Here is the link: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-dashboard-publisher/
I personally use this option, easier and quicker.
As well as this should then solve your Excel opening in the wrong version issue.
Hi masplin
Yes this can be done, you can do it once you have connected to the Power BI Service and then convert them to Formula's
And that will then mean that you can then use it to Summarize or put the data where you require on your Excel sheet.
Here is a great example below on how to convert to the Formula's and then use them.
That's a great link.
I'm not sure i understand how I get a list currently generate by this sort of DAX statement? Can I create a table once linked up and enter this code?
evaluate calculatetable( summarize( vehicles, vehicles[VRM],customer[mobile phone no],customer[e-mail],vehicles[mot due date],vehicles[make],vehicles[model],vehicles[date of 1st registration],customer[last centre],vehicles[next service date], vehicles[last visit date], vehicles[service due],vehicles[customer 1y active], customer[full name], customer[address],customer[address 2],customer[city],customer[post code],customer[customer group],customer[Plat MOT Avail], customer[Plat XS Avail],customer [MOT reminder platinum], customer[XS reminder platinum],customer[salutation],customer[first name],customer[surname] ), FILTER( vehicles, vehicles[mot rem output]="yes" ) )
ORDER BY vehicles[MOT Due Date], vehicles[VRM]
Hi masplin
If you are looking to create a table using DAX you would then have to do it in Power BI Desktop based off your original data. I am not sure that you can create a table that you are looking for using the connect using Excel.
That's what i thought which is a shame.
Thanks anyway
