Convert string to number in power bi - type-conversion

I'm using Power BI and was wondering how I would create a new column that converts any row that is "Processed" in my Status column, to be represented by a 1 in the new column?
Thanks!

You should be able to use an IF function.
NewColumn = IF(Table1[Status] = "Processed", 1, 0)
This returns 1 if the Status is "Processed" and 0 otherwise.

How to find the column based on the minimum value and the position

A new column should be added as a function of the condition.
Match Condition
eg : ID 1877
1.) In the id group, the minimum value of tho_cw_diff should be checked and Rail position of thor_pos/CW_pos should be same.
eg : ID 7931
2.) If the rail position is not the same for the minimum tho_cw_diff value, check for the other minimum value in group ID that the rail position thor_pos/CW_po is the same.
eg: ID 8880
3.) If all the rail position is different for the group ID, select the minimum tho_cw_diff value.
According to these three conditions, the new column must be updated.
Sharing screenshot data of the expected outputs below
You can try this one.
VAR ID = [ID]
VAR CV_POS = [CV_POS]
VAR tmpTbl =
CALCULATETABLE(
tbl
,ALL()
,tbl[ID] = ID
,tbl[THO_position] = CV_POS
,tbl[CV_POS] = CV_POS
)
VAR Result =
IF(
ISEMPTY(tmpTbl)
,MIN(tbl[THO_CV_DIFF]) -- may be you can write just [THO_CV_DIFF]. I didn't check
,MINX(tmpTbl,[THO_CV_DIFF])
)
RETURN
Result
I didn't check, so come with a feedback.
By the way, you can add you table by using of following symbols: "|" and "-"
myColumn1
myColumn2
A
1
B
2

Filter portal for most recently created record by group

I have a portal on my "Clients" table. The related table contains the results of surveys that are updated over time. For each combination of client and category (a field in the related table), I only want the portal to display the most recently collected row.
Here is a link to a trivial example that illustrates the issue I'm trying to address. I have two tables in this example (Related on ClientID):
Clients
Table 1 Get Summary Method
The Table 1 Get Summary Method table looks like this:
Where:
MaxDate is a summary field = Maximum of Date
MaxDateGroup is a calculated field = GetSummary ( MaxDate ;
ClientIDCategory )
ShowInPortal = If ( Date = MaxDateGroup ; 1 ; 0 )
The table is sorted on ClientIDCategory
Issue 1 that I'm stumped on: .
ShowInPortal should equal 1 in row 3 (PKTable01 = 5), row 4 (PKTable01 = 6), and row 6 (PKTable01 = 4) in the table above. I'm not sure why FM is interpreting 1Red and 1Blue as the same category, or perhaps I'm just misunderstanding what the GetSummary function does.
The Clients table looks like this:
Where:
The portal records are sorted on ClientIDCategory
Issue 2 that I'm stumped on:
I only want rows with a ShowInPortal value equal to 1 should appear in the portal. I tried creating a portal filter with the following formula: Table 1 Get Summary Method::ShowInPortal = 1. However, using that filter removes all row from the portal.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
One solution is to use ExecuteSQL to grab the Max Date. This removes the need for Summary functions and sorts, and works as expected. Propose to return it as number to avoid any issues with date formats.
GetAsTimestamp (
ExecuteSQL (
"SELECT DISTINCT COALESCE(MaxDate,'')
FROM Survey
WHERE ClientIDCategory = ? "
; "" ; "";ClientIDCategory )
)
Also, you need to change the ShowInPortal field to an unstored calc field with:
If ( GetAsNumber(Date) = MaxDateGroupSQL ; 1 ; 0 )
Then filter the portal on this field.
I can send you the sample file if you want.

Min value with GROUP BY in Power BI Desktop

id datetime new_column datetime_rankx
1 12.01.2015 18:10:10 12.01.2015 18:10:10 1
2 03.12.2014 14:44:57 03.12.2014 14:44:57 1
2 21.11.2015 11:11:11 03.12.2014 14:44:57 2

3 02.02.2012 13:13:13 01.01.2011 12:12:12 2
3 03.03.2013 14:14:14 01.01.2011 12:12:12 3
I want to make new column, which will have minimum datetime value for each row in group by id.
How could I do it in Power BI desktop using DAX query?
Use this expression:
NewColumn =
CALCULATE(
MIN(
Table[datetime]),
FILTER(Table,Table[id]=EARLIER(Table[id])
)
)
In Power BI using a table with your data it will produce this:
UPDATE: Explanation and EARLIER function usage.
Basically, EARLIER function will give you access to values of different row context.
When you use CALCULATE function it creates a row context of the whole table, theoretically it iterates over every table row. The same happens when you use FILTER function it will iterate on the whole table and evaluate every row against the filter condition.
So far we have two row contexts, the row context created by CALCULATE and the row context created by FILTER. Note FILTER use the EARLIER to get access to the CALCULATE's row context. Having said that, in our case for every row in the outer (CALCULATE's row context) the FILTER returns a set of rows that correspond to the current id in the outer context.
If you have a programming background it could give you some sense. It is similar to a nested loop.
Hope this Python code points the main idea behind this:
outer_context = ['row1','row2','row3','row4']
inner_context = ['row1','row2','row3','row4']
for outer_row in outer_context:
for inner_row in inner_context:
if inner_row == outer_row: #this line is what the FILTER and EARLIER do
#Calculate the min datetime using the filtered rows
...
...
UPDATE 2: Adding a ranking column.
To get the desired rank you can use this expression:
RankColumn =
RANKX(
CALCULATETABLE(Table,ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[id]))
,Table[datetime]
,Hoja1[datetime]
,1
)
This is the table with the rank column:
Let me know if this helps.

Crystal Report Cross Tab Calculated Member as text

I'vre created a cross tab report with 2 calculated Member to be able to have the difference between 2 column and the percentage of this difference in CR 2011. What I want to achieve is to create a new column that will display a test depending on the difference value.
Here is a example:
Col1 Col2 Difference Percentage Action
200 0 -200 100 DROPPED
100 100 0 0
0 300 300 100 ADDED
How can create this action column. Calculated member only want some amount value so I cannot output a text in the formula.
Thanks in advance for your help
I finally found the solution.
I can use the Display string formula in the Format Field properties (Common Tab). Here I just check the column and return the string I want otherwise I just format the number.
IF GetColumnGroupIndexOf(CurrentColumnIndex) = 1
AND CurrentColumnIndex =4 THEN
IF GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex,CurrentSummaryIndex) =2 THEN "DROPPED"
ELSE "ADDED"
ELSE
ToText( GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex,CurrentSummaryIndex),2,",")

ssrs 2008 - remove row where column group total = 0

in ssrs 2008, I am getting My report output like below
I need to remove/hide sr.no. = 3, condition to apply where total qty=0
I used RowVisibility Show or Hide but output shows : Sr.No. is showing like 1 , 2 , 4 (my serial number should come in line 1,2,3 and hide the row where total = 0)
thru tablix property applied filter as below but it is not filtering output
(
I tried
[expression] = Sum(Fields!QTY.Value, "DataSet1")
Text
[Operator] = <>
[Value] = 0 or ""
I have row groups like [matrix_descriptopn, Matrix_OutletGroup , Outlet]
I have Colum Groups like [Matrix_month]
I would recode the filter e.g.
[expression] = Sum(Fields!QTY.Value) <> 0
Boolean
[Operator] =
[Value] True
This is the only reliable way I have found to use Filters in SSRS.
