What a great practical example of using calculation groups, and also one that is not too intimidating for people (like me) who are new to them. I must commend you on the editing and production of your videos, they are so slick. No doubt a lot of work goes into achieving that, thank you.

Great and easy to follow tutorial!! I have one question, I have created a drill down page that takes in the selected data points from the chart and that creates the label on the top Of the drill down page. This works fine when I use the value but when I drill from % toggle it gives an error along the lines of trying to convert the label text into a numerical. Any ideas on how I can get this working for both value and per tags toggles?

Great vid that shows exactly what I was wanting to do... only downside is that after I bring in the calculation group any field I add to a table will only show distinct values and nothing else. it completely breaks the pbix. Can't find how to resolve it either.

Awsome video as usual!

Brilliant!

Hi Bas, great video! I have a very similar setting as yours, except that instead of showing the data label for each data point I only show the total label. After I did the calculation group formatting string, It seems that the formatting does not apply to the total label despite the fact that the unit of y-axis changes in accordance with formatting setting with no issues. Can you please check if this is the case with yours as well? Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the teachings, in a didactic and simple way, you are the greatest. Can you help me?

Thanks Luciano! select the slicer, go to format on the top ribbon, then edit interactions, and turn off the interaction to your card. 🙂 that should do it

Made already good use of this 😁. Although I now encountered a situation where I had set my values to show as thousands and the percentage view did not like that.... When i switch back to Auto the percentages showed just fine but my absolutes are in Millions and thus show 0M or 1M....🤨 Have you encountered this before and is there a solution for this behaviour? *EDIT*: Well found out today about the new feature 'Field Parameters' so no need for complicated Tabular Editor anymore 😁. This new feature works like a charm!

Hi, just a side question. At 0:45 there is a dimCalendar table. When you add Year and Month from that on the visualization month appears as Jan, Fab, and so on. How could it be changed to show not the name of the month, but the number? (01 instead of Jan, 02 instead of Feb)

Very clean and handy. I'm working with the Power BI reports server. Do you know if there is any way to work with the tabular in Power BI RS?

Thanks so much! One question wants to seek your help, when I switch to "% of Total", why it shows the percentage of the total number instead of percentage of current month?

@tonypcoyle

2 жыл бұрын

are you getting the same %ages across all dates? if so, check your REMOVE FILTER: it should only remove the filter for the CHANNEL dimension... OR You don't have a relationship between your dates and your facts (i.e. you are using the DATE from your CHANNEL table - when you remove the filters, it also removes the date filter in that table).

Is this method faster than just bookmarking two different graphs with their own measures? (e.g., hide/unhide graph base on user selection)

Is there any workaround for being able to include calculations in these? For example, if I wanted to calculate variance and be able to switch between absolute and %?

@HowtoPowerBI

Yes, in the example I use sales, but you could put in variance of sales or any other measure and it would work as well

Hi Juan, you can set the format for measures in Power BI. However, not with a format expression like shown in the video.

Tabular Editor is a great tool but I'm currently running into a problem. When opening Tabular Editor 2.x or Tabular Editor 3 in a SSAS model (pushed from a TimeXtender ETL environment) it says: "No database with ID or Name 'Sales' (cube is called sales) was found on the server, or the user account does not have administrative rights. Did I miss something in the setup to activate this with SSAS cubes?

I think it should work. If you would like to use bookmarks, You could create two overlapping visuals and then show the pct chart with one bookmark and one bookmark that shows a chart with absolute values. Then create two buttons and add bookmark actions that will allow you to toggle between the two charts.

Can i do this without the tublar editor? It sounds complicated with this third party source

I am stuck in between I dont see the tables in the tabular can you help. Thanks in advance

I have tried it but unfortunately nothing changes on the chart, as if the slicer has no effect on the original table that has the data

If I put in any measure which is not a part of the group in a KPI card it seems to show the same value though it shouldn't. Can someone help me fix this?

@zL0ki

Жыл бұрын

I think you are experiencing the same issue I had. You need to adjust the format string expression to stop it acting on other visuals. As the clip just shows one visual this doesn't crop up in the demo. Add something like this to the format string expression of the '% of total' e.g. VAR SkipConversion = SWITCH( TRUE(), SELECTEDMEASURENAME () = "Measure 1", 1, SELECTEDMEASURENAME () = "Measure 2", 1, 0 ) VAR percAmount = ("0%") VAR absAmount = ("#") RETURN IF (SkipConversion, percAmount, absAmount) So any measure you want has the correct percentage conversion. The 2nd measure was there for me as I had another visual that used percentages from another measure. Without it, using the above would force it not to be a percentage. I think this is the one disadvantage with using this method. It can easily break other parts of your report and introducing technical debt.

Unable to set the property Discource Implicit measure to FALSE. Any ideas, pls?
