Re: Why would a simple filter not work?
Thank you for the advice. In my scenario I'm using data in DirectQuery mode. Not being an owner of the source model, Power BI doesn't let me see the original Data Type. I've turned to the data engineers in my organization, but still haven't got an answer, so I cannot yet determine if changing the underlying data type (not just format) is going to solve this.1.1KViews1like1CommentRe: Why would a simple filter not work?
I had the Category_ID formatted as Whole Numbers for both tables (dimension and fact). I have also tried with General formatting and it hasn't worked either. I can't seem to pick Text format for this column - not exactly sure why, but it may be because I'm using data in DirectQuery mode. I've double checked that there are no hidden spaces and characters in the Category_ID values.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsWhy would a simple filter not work?
I can't understand how something as basic a filtering go this wrong, but it apparently doesn't work in my current case. Can someone see a reason? I filter Table visual by "Category ID" field. I want to unfilter several Category IDs from the data. When I unselect the first one, it disappears as it should. However, when I unselect a second value, the filter stops working. Values unselected in the filter appear in the table, as seen below: Interestingly, when I invert the filter and select one or many of Category IDs, the table returns empty. I tried using the "Category ID" as a proper dimension in star-schema model and as an element of the fact table - neither has worked. The other column is a DAX measure "Value" - a simple SUM of amounts from fact table.Solved1.3KViews0likes10CommentsRe: COLLAPSEALL not working for smaller numbers in a Visual Calculation
The last bulletpoint from your point 2 has helped me solve this: Sometimes, moving the calculation to a regular measure (outside of a visual calculation) and then referencing that measure in your visual can resolve the issue. Adjusted Total formula as DAX measure: Total = IF( [Value] > 0, CALCULATE( [Vallue], ALLSELECTED(Table) ), BLANK() )1.5KViews0likes0CommentsCOLLAPSEALL not working for smaller numbers in a Visual Calculation
I've been trying to write a visual calculation formula, but I've noticed that for smaller numbers it doesn't work as expected. I've been able to pin the problem to COLLAPSEALL behavior. It basically stops working for smaller numbers in my table. It works well for many rows, but when it reaches values smaller than 0.01% of the column total, the Total column shows the row value, instead of the expected Total value (collapsed column total). The test formula is as simple as this: Total = COLLAPSEALL([Value],ROWS) The screenshot shows a data sample, where it breaks (rows sorted by value, descending).Solved1.7KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Appending data from external semantic model
This article also states explicitely: The following Live Connect (multidimensional) sources can't be used with composite models: SAP HANA SAP Business Warehouse SQL Server Analysis Services Power BI semantic models Azure Analysis Services When you connect to these multidimensional sources by using DirectQuery, you can't connect to another DirectQuery source or combine it with imported data.2.4KViews1like0CommentsRe: Appending data from external semantic model
I need to summarize and analzye spend data, that is coming from two sources: One data set is in another PowerBI Second data set I need to download from another system, through an Excel export file (no possibility to get data directly from the source) Both data files have different structure and there can be some duplicates between them. I have ideas how to clean them up in PowerQuery. But I'm stuck on the first step - getting the data together in one table to compare, wrangle and then analyze.2.5KViews0likes1CommentAppending data from external semantic model
I need to append data from 2 sources: Excel file data imported with PowerQuery Data from an external semantic model from a published PowerBI report. When I connect to this one, it only exists as a live connection in my PowerBI file, not as a Query though. The option to append tables is only available in the PowerQuery editor. But the data coming from the conection to external semantic model is not visible there. How can I append these two? View in the main PowerBI window: View in the "Transform Data" editor (data from external semantic model not visible): Append wizard view (data from external semantic model not available):Solved2.6KViews0likes5Comments
