I am having an issue getting the filled map visual to work.
Would appreciate any pointers to correct this issue.
I am trying to create a filled map visual to show:
a) Count of Providers in the State (this count also controls the
color saturation on the map)
b) Count of Networks in the State
The data is setup like this:
The map fills correctly, except for the state of Utah,
If I create a "Table" visual with the same data,
the counts for Utah show up correctly (so I know it is not a data or calculation issue).
I have set the "State" field in Power BI Modeling to a Data Category of "State or Province"
I have tested the following as part of my troubleshooting:
1) Replacing all the state abbreviations with fully spelled state names
(eg replace "UT" with "Utah", and it still will not plot)
2) If I change the Map configuration to use Zipcodes instead of the State, the map will plot the zip codes correctly for the state of UT.
Screen shot of the map with UTAH not filled in, and the data used to fill the map....
I have a kludgy solution to this problem.
It involves creating a new column in the table with the following formula:
US_States = IF('TableName'[AddressState]="LA","Louisiana,USA",'TableName'[AddressState]&",USA").
What this does is add a ",USA" suffix to each state abbreviation, and if the state="LA", spell out the state to "Louisiana, USA"- this is because Bing maps would otherwise plot LA as "Los Angeles" (good grief!).
You must set the new column of "US_States to a data category of "Place"
Hope someone else can benefit from this post. –

Recently i've been working on this repository https://github.com/xiaodongliang/forgeviewer_embed_in_powerbi_report to build a custom visual in Power BI to visualize the issues extracted from Bim track'S API.
The idea was visualizing them in associaton to the model's ROOMS.
In order to do that I worked with a NWC file, so i cuold export rooms as a geometry.
What i would like to do now is to highligt the rooms if a connected issue is selected from a table.
The problem is When i select an issue from a table, in the selection tree i can see highlighted the parent object name (ROOM) instead of the child (solid), and i think that is why i can't achieve my purpose (if not please correct me).
what i have
what i wold like to do
Does anyone know a way to do that?
If you would like to change your selection between (FIRST_OBJECT, LAST_OBJECT, LEAF_OBJECT) you can change viewer selection settings in order to test:
If you would like to achieve this programmatically :
Viewer.setSelectionMode();
could help you as well.
If I well understood, you want to highlight the child (which contain the mesh) instead of the parent.
The object highlight (isolate) is done in /forgePowerbiView/src/visual.ts with this code:
const dbIds = options.dataViews[0].table.rows.map(r =>
<number>r[0].valueOf());
console.log('dbIds: ' +dbIds)
this.forge_viewer.showAll();
this.forge_viewer.impl.setGhostingBrightness(true); //for isolate effect
this.forge_viewer.isolate(dbIds);
Take a look at this link Enumerating leaf nodes on Viewer. This will help you to get the dbIds you want to isolate.
I'm trying to make a form-fillable pdf where List Boxes will affect other parts of the sheet.
I have several Hidden Paragraphs in my document (hiding graphics, etc), and a List Box. I'd like to use the List Box choice as the Condition to dynamically hide and unhide the various Hidden Paragraphs.
Example: The user selects clicks on the List Box, and Cat, Dog, and Bird are listed. If the user selects "Dog" from the list, the paragraph with text and pictures of dogs is no longer hidden.
I get that I have to do Hide Paragraph if [List Box choice] != "Dog" as my Condition, I just can't figure out where to get the List Box choice. Feels like I hit a wall in searching for an answer or guide because I'm missing specific terminology (field? formula?).
I am actually trying to do the same thing, and I'm getting very frustrated by it. I developed a case management database for my law office (actually, it pretty much manages almost every aspect of the office at this point), but because we handle all kinds of different cases (criminal defense, civil litigation, probate, etc.) the information we need to track often varies. For instance, on criminal cases, we need to keep track of the sentencing guidelines scoring, the current offer from the prosecutor, prior convictions, and so on. For family law cases, we need to keep track of things like assets, parenting time schedules, etc. Putting all of these variable on one page at the same time gets very cumbersome very quickly, so I'm trying to set the form up so that when you select a case a "criminal defense", it shows the "Criminal Defense" portion of the page, and hides the "Family Law", "Civil Litigation", "Probate", and other portions.
The only way I could come up to do it was the create a variable (in this case, I called it "CaseType") and set the paragraphs to hide or be visible depending on what the variable is set to. This works great, except (a) it's awkward making users select the type of case it is for database purposes, and then making them select the type of case details to display in the form; and (more importantly) (b) the user has to type the required value of the variable into the dialog directly, which is a pain. I would much rather be able to have the type of sections that are displayed determined by the value of the case type in the database, or at the very list have the panels displayed in a dropdown list.
I came up with an idea to record a macro that would run when you pushed buttons--for example, press the "Criminal Case Panel" button and a script would run that selected the variable via double-click, entered the correct value in the dialog box, and then applied the new variable, but it seems that Writer will not let you record macros that change values in dialog boxes.
There is so much untapped potential in this aspect of the software; if the user variables could be set by forms--or if the "hidden" flags could be triggered to be hidden by the values of database variables--it would open up so many possibilities. Makes me wish I had the coding skills to work on this part of the software.
According to https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/swriter/01/04090200.html, you can set up a database for Writer conditions. It looks like this would work with LibreOffice Base, where forms with list boxes can be created.
However, if you are trying to use values from a list box in a standalone Writer template or other document, then looking at that link, it does not seem possible. Writer conditions are restricted to document metadata, not the contents of the document.
One solution is to write a macro that pops up a dialog with a list box, and then when the dialog is closed, modify the Writer document based on the selected values. LibreOffice has a dialog development front end to help you set this up, and then you would need to write code to execute the dialog and do the changes. See https://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php for help writing the necessary code.
I have two Shape Data rows for a Shape's ShapeSheet:
Shape Data Label Prompt Type Format Value Invisible
Prop.Type "Type" "" 4 "Alpha;Beta;Gamma;Delta;Epsilon;Zeta;Eta;Theta;Iota;Kappa" INDEX(4,Prop.Type.Format) False
Prop.Abbrev "Abbrev" No Formula 4 "A;B;G;D;E;Z;E;T;I;K" INDEX(4,Prop.Abbrev.Format) True
The way I intent to use this is to have the user select the Type, say Epsilon, and then have the Abbrev automatically switch to the corresponding value in the Prop.Abbrev.Format.
Note: the values used here are placeholders for the actual values for my application, which are not shown here so they don't distract from the real answer I need, how to keep the selections in sync when the first one is chosen or changed.
Thanks for any help you can give!
I don't have Visio on this machine, so I am unable to copy and paste a working solution. The approach gets a little complicated, but extremely flexible.
Save your lists in the User section, rather than Prop - this then becomes underlying data for use in properties. If you are using a master stencil then this also helps with managing the fields.
You can now store an index in your data as well - this index points to the appropriate values in your arrays. You can use Actions and side menus to set the index which, when referenced properly, means you can have the full name and/or abbreviation in the side menu and the ShapeSheet does all the work underneath.
The functions you want to look at are:
Index (e.g. INDEX(1,User.Type) will return "Beta". (0-based)
Lookup (e.g. LOOKUP("D", User.Abbrev) will return "3". (0-based)
GetAtRef
SetAtRef
SetAtRefExpr
SetF
I had a similar business problem which relied on setting a background colour based on the value of shape data. Your final solution could end up including formulas like this: =SETF(GetRef(Prop.Type),"GUARD(INDEX(LOOKUP(Prop.X,Prop.X.Format),User.Type))").

I'm trying to use Adobe DTM to pass the date to a prop variable but haven't had much success. The final output should be a prop report in Adobe that'll provide me traffic data for specific dates (5/11/16, 6/15/15 etc). The ultimate goal for setting the dates as a prop is to be able to classify a range of dates based on various business needs.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for getting this done? I am assuming I'll have to add a line of code in the s.code file that'll define s.prop5 = ...
Thanks
Based on your comments, it sounds like you are just looking to pop something with the current date stamp with "MM-DD-YYYY" format.
As Gigazelle mentioned, you can create a Data Element to return the value, and then reference it for setting your prop. However, throwing a data layer into the mix may be overkill for you, depending on your needs/limitations.
Data layers are meant for exposing data that DTM can't feasibly/reliably automate on its own via built-in features or hosting an autonomous js snippet.
The only reason you might want to consider having your site push it to a data layer, is if you want to generate the date via server-side coding to ensure the date is generated within the same timezone setting for all visitors. If you generate it client-side, it will be generated according to the visitor's browser/system settings. Since visitors are from all over the world in different timezones, the data may not be as consistent (even if you add additional code to change the timezone offset, it still may not be 100% based on browser version/security settings, or visitors who alter their browser/system date/timezone settings).
So, if you want to ensure the best accuracy, then I suggest you output the value via server-side code, and put into a data layer. How you do that depends on your server and what language you have at your disposal for your web pages being served up. Here is a very basic example using PHP:
<script>
var dataLayer = {
currentDate : '<?php echo date('m-d-Y'); ?>'
}
</script>
This will have the server generate the date stamp and output a js object called dataLayer with a property currentDate you can reference. You can create a Data Element as Type "JS Object" and for Path, put dataLayer.currentDate, and then reference your Data Element elsewhere (see below).
If that's too much trouble for you or if you want to keep it pure client-side/DTM and are okay with the potentially lower consistency...
Within DTM, go to Rules > Data Elements, and click Create New Data Element.
Name it "currentDate" (no quotes).
For Type, choose "Custom Script", and click Open Editor, and add the following:
var t=new Date(),d,m,y;
d=t.getDate();
d=d<10?'0'+d:d;
m=t.getMonth()+1;
m=m<10?'0'+m:m;
y=t.getFullYear();
return m+'-'+d+'-'+y;
Click Save and Close and Save Data Element.
Now you can reference the data element to pop prop5. How you do it depends on how you've setup Adobe Analytics within DTM. For example, if you set it up as a tool and only want it to pop on initial page view, you can open your AA tool config, go to the Global Variables dropdown, and set prop5 there. You reference it as %currentDate%
You can do the same %currentDate% syntax in a Page Load Rule or other rule or any other place that uses DTM's built-in fields.
Alternatively, if you need to reference it within javascript code (e.g. if you are setting prop5 within s.doPlugins or some other Custom Script box, you can reference the data element like this:
s.prop5 = _satellite.getVar('currentDate');
Set a JS variable on your site (such as within a data layer) that outputs the date in the format you wish to collect it in. Something like var d = Date();
In DTM, go to Rules > Data Elements and create a data element that maps to the JS variable you created on your site
If you want prop5 to be defined on every page, click the gear icon and map prop5 to your data element name by using %DataElementName% (whatever you named your data element in step 2, wrapped in percent signs). If you don't want it defined on every page, go to Rules and create a page load rule, event based rule or direct call rule depending on when you want the variable to trigger. Under the Adobe Analytics section of the rule, map prop5 to %DataElementName% .
This will allow you to collect dates as values, which can then be used in classifications.
I have loaded data in Orange using a CSV file, and some columns are being automatically detected as continuous (C) while in reality they're ordinal dicrete (i.e. may have integer values from 1 to 5).
I was expecting widgets such as the "Edit Domain Data" to let me change these meta attributes, but I couldn't figure it out. The only workaround I've managed so far was to save the CSV as a TAB file and add the meta attributes myself.
Am I missing something very silly? :)
