Hello, I am trying to write an IF statement to capture the following dates. I have and excel spreadsheet withs millions of records. For one of the columns in my spreadsheet, I want to create a new column to capture all DT_SCHED (date field) prior to June 1, 2017 and return a "Delivery Date of June 1st" and if the DT_SCHED date is greater than June 1st but less than December 31st, I want my IF statement to return "December 1st" delivery date. Could anyone help me figure this out? I don't have the Power Query Add-In to do a conditional lookup but have attached a screenshot with my first attempt but apparently the formula is VERY WRONG :)Solved1.2MViews2likes21CommentsUsing a REST API as a data source
I'd like to be able to connect to a Blackbaud REST API to pull data from that system and use it in a Power BI Desktop report: http://on-api.developer.blackbaud.com/getting-started/ That said, I don't have experience using REST APIs. Is that's possible, either for a live data connection or for a scheduled refresh? If it's not possible in Power BI Desktop, would it be possible if I managed the report on the Power BI Service? Further, if that's possible, could someone give me a quick and dirty of how to accomplish that and perhaps point to toward the materials I need to read to figure out how to do it? Part of my misunderstanding here is how the Blackbaud and Power BI REST APIs interact (if at all). I have an E5 license that allows me access to Power BI Pro features.Solved655KViews1like56CommentsCreate a new table from columns from existing tables

Hi, I am trying to create a table visualization in Power BI. Where I am showing sales by category and target %. Now I am creating 2 calculated columns in it. The first column tells me Yearly Sales target. Which is as below: Yearly Sales Target = (1 + Target%) * [Yearly Sales]. This is working fine. But when I am trying to create a new column for monthly sales target with the formula as below: Monthly Sales Target = (1 + Target%) * [Monthly Sales]. I am getting the error as "A circular Dependency was detected". Any suggestions on how to remove this error?

Hi Everyone! BRAND NEW Power BI user! I have what I think is a rather embarrassingly simple question I can't find the answer to (be gentle: I don't know what I'm doing, please speak to me like i'm 5 years old in explanations, I know nothing here!) I have a Power Bi Desktop dashboard connected to an Excel sheet in a Sharepoint, which has then been published to the web for my manager to view, with the intention of and ultimately others in the organization (not there yet, maybe a week away). Today, my manager updated budget information in the excel sheet, and expected to see that reflected on the web-published dashboard, which of course it wasn't. As I currently understand it, the basic chain of command is as follows (which includes two manual refreshes): 1) Update excel sheet, hit save 2) hit REFRESH button on Power BI Desktop to get those visuals updated on the desktop, then 3) hit the PUBLISH button to get the updated information online. All manual. Is there a way to set it up so that if the excel sheet is updated, this refresh chain is automatic and doesn't require me to go in an manually refresh/publish everything? Imagine me being out on vacation and my manager needing the updated visuals for internal stakeholders.Solved242KViews2likes14CommentsSUMIF Equivalent in DAX
