    Hey there, I am following along and I am having trouble entering the calculated fields and getting the intended results. When I look at the data source my calculated fields 'sales selected field' only has calculated terms for one year, and 'sales previous feild have only null values because its the first year in the dataset. Any idea why the calculated field would only work for the first year? I can send you any info and thank for the great video!

    We can use copy formatting from one worksheet to another worksheet for bar chart to save time😊

  • @filiporg5799
    @filiporg579914 күн бұрын

    Another way would be to duplicate the bar chart sheet as Anthony did. However, instead of drag and drop new dimensions to Rows you can double click the dimension you want to change out and write the name of the dimension to replace with. This will keep the formatting already applied to the previous dimension for the new one.

  • @AnthonySmoak

    I know MSQuery is listed as an older legacy option and you have to manually enable it in the latest version of Office 365 Excel (will it continue to be supported like VBA)? However, you have given me an option to test, I'll let you know how it goes.

    @@AnthonySmoak Thank you for doing that. Microsoft has buried MSQuery on the current Excel version and you have to add it to the menu yourself. I hope that it doesn't go away completely, or at least if it does Microsoft could replace it something that its as equally simple. I'm a programmer, but for fast ad-hoc solutions I can turnout an Excel doc calling a stored procedure in minutes. Perhaps the more people who know about and use MSQuery the less likely it gets killed by Microsoft.

    This is great but I have a question on the Order Previous Year and the Customer Previous Year calcs. Why did you use Order ID and Customer ID in your IF/Then statement vs CountD of Order ID and CountD of Customer ID? Could you have written those as CountD instead of using CountD in your YoY calcs.

  • @AnthonySmoak
    @AnthonySmoakАй бұрын

    I remained consistent with the original dashboard design by Dmitry. I suppose you could aggregate in the formula and then when they are placed in the marks area the pills would show AGG(OrderId) to show that the OrderId is already summed. Give it a try and let us know!

    Hi Anthony! Thanks so much for this. I'm having difficulty recreating the sheet swap title container (switches between "Profit vs. Budgeted Profit" and "Trending Profit"), how are you achieving this? I attempted to do another sheet swap container that contained sheets where the only value on the sheet was the desired title in the Label card, but once on the dashboard sheets within the container would never revert to 1pxl in height, so I was left with awkward whitespace.

  • @andrewharbin6793

    Figured it out! You need at least one pill on the rows or columns shelf to have the worksheets resize. This can be anything, and I chose to use a calculated filed just containing " " added to the row shelf.
