I'm trying to load the text contents of an email from outlook in into PowerBI using Power Query. I want to specifically load only the contents of emails from a specified person, with a specified subject line, and only the most recent email.
Here's my code so far:
let
Source = Exchange.Contents("user#email.com"),
Mail1 = Source{[Name="Mail"]}[Data],
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Mail1, each ([Folder Path] = "\Inbox\Project\")),
#"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Filtered Rows",{{"DateTimeReceived", Order.Descending}}),
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Sorted Rows", each Text.Contains([Subject], "Speficied Email Subject")),
#"Expanded Sender" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Filtered Rows1", "Sender", {"Address"}, {"Sender.Address"}),
#"Filtered Rows2" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded Sender", each Text.Contains([Sender.Address], "specified email sender")),
#"Filtered Rows3" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows2", each Text.Contains([Subject], "specified email subject")),
#"Kept First Rows" = Table.FirstN(#"Filtered Rows3",1),
#"Choose First Result's Content" = #"Kept First Rows"[Body],
TextBody = #"Choose First Result's Content"[TextBody]
in
TextBody
I'm getting an error:
Expression.Error: We cannot apply field access to the type List.
Details:
Value=[List]
Key=TextBody
Can someone help me correct this code?
Thanks!
Change the last step to TextBody = #"Choose First Result's Content"{0}[TextBody]
Here is the script I have based on the steps generated:
let
Source = Sql.Database("BITESTDBSVR1", "DW_FINANCE"),
CORPDB_BTT_SCENARIO_DETAILS_WITH_BACKLOG = Source{[Schema="CORPDB",Item="BTT_SCENARIO_DETAILS_WITH_BACKLOG"]}[Data],
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(CORPDB_BTT_SCENARIO_DETAILS_WITH_BACKLOG, each [ScenarioHeaderID] = FromScenario or [ScenarioHeaderID] = ToScenario),
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each [ValueTypeName] <> "Backlog"),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows1",{"ID", "ContractID", "LineNumber", "Ophours", "Prime", "ScenarioHeaderID", "Division", "ORN", "BidNumber", "CustomerContractNumber", "ProjectID", "CustomerOrderID", "CurrentStatus", "CustomerBuyer", "ProgramName", "ProgramNotes", "Notes", "MajorProgram", "ProductFamily", "ProductSubFamily", "ProductGroup", "SeriesGroup", "Turret", "ProgramSeriesID", "OrderQuantity", "ContractValueSource", "SourceCurrencyID", "BookingFXRate", "ContractValueUSDollars", "PODateIn", "AcceptanceDate", "ContractAwardDate", "ContractAwardYear", "Probability", "FactoredValue", "ProductAccountManager", "ProgramManager", "InterIntraDivision", "InterIntraExternal", "Territory", "IDIQ", "Platform", "CustomerBuyerCountry", "EndUser", "LHXRegion", "LHXName", "ProcurementLocation", "CustomerType1", "CustomerType2", "ExternalCustomer", "SalesType", "BidType", "PricingType", "ExportLicenceNumber", "USExportStatus", "CANExportStatus", "ExportComments", "RevenueRecognitionCriteria", "IncoTerms", "ShipToCountry", "PaymentTerms", "EOIRMaster", "EOIRChildID", "BidDivision", "SubProduct", "ProductLine", "ServiceAccountManager", "BusinessUnit", "OffsetCapture", "EndUserBusinessPartner", "GeographicRegion", "GeographicSubRegion", "ContractDuration", "RevRecTiming", "ForecastRevenueMonths", "InvoiceNumber", "WorkOrdernumber", "SerialNumber", "OrderLine", "PKLineIdentifier", "Year1", "Year2", "Year3", "BI1", "BI2", "BI3", "RI1", "RI2", "RI3", "VMProject", "ServiceContractNo", "MainProject", "LNProject", "ProjectContract", "SalesForceRef", "SalesRegion", "FiscalDate", "ScenarioCreated", "ScenarioUpdated", "ScenarioWeek", "Scenario", "ValueType"}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[ScenarioName]), "ScenarioName", "Value", List.Sum),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Pivoted Column",null,0,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{ScenarioFrom, ScenarioTo}),
#"Inserted Subtraction" = Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value", "Subtraction", each [#"Jan 15, 2021"] - [#"Mar 5, 2021"], type number),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Inserted Subtraction",{{"Subtraction", type number}}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Subtraction", "Variance"}}),
#"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Renamed Columns", {"InterIntra"}, #"CORPDB INTER_INTRA_MAPPING", {"INTER DIVISION"}, "CORPDB INTER_INTRA_MAPPING", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
#"Expanded CORPDB INTER_INTRA_MAPPING" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "CORPDB INTER_INTRA_MAPPING", {"INTER DIVISION NAME"}, {"INTER DIVISION NAME"}),
#"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Expanded CORPDB INTER_INTRA_MAPPING",{"Forecast", "ProgramGroupID", "InterIntra", "INTER DIVISION NAME", "EndUserCountry", "ValueTypeName", "Month", "Year", "Quarter", "MonthNumber", "FiscalYearMonth", "QuarterStart", "QuarterEnd", ScenarioFrom, ScenarioTo , "Variance"}),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Reordered Columns",{{"INTER DIVISION NAME", "InterIntraDivision"}}),
#"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Renamed Columns1",{"InterIntra"})
in
#"Removed Columns1"
The part of the code I want to update is
#"Inserted Subtraction" = Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value", "Subtraction", each [#"Jan 15, 2021"] - [#"Mar 5, 2021"], type number),
Where I have 2 text variables (ScenarioFrom, ScenarioTo) that I want to dynamically substitute in the definition to say
#"Inserted Subtraction" = Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value", "Subtraction", each [Scenariofrom] - [Scenarioto] , type number),
I get that I'm trying to force a literal into a table column which is causing the problem, but wondering if there is a function / easy work-around without transforming the data entirely.
When you are defining a custom column, writing each [ColName] is short for each _[ColName] where _ represents the current row, which is a Record type.
With this in mind, we can define the code like this
each Record.Field(_, ScenarioFrom) - Record.Field(_, ScenarioTo)
instead of
each [#"Jan 15, 2021"] - [#"Mar 5, 2021"]
This question is similar but uses the value in a different column rather than parameters/variables:
PowerQuery choose values based on a key column
I have a Date/Time column in format "13.10.2020 06:08:43" and I need to calculate the "age" from current time. Output should be like from given example: "4h" since its 10:08 atm - Date/Time column was 4h ago. I need this to be in M language to use in visual studio 2019.
I used:
let
Source = Sql.Database("xxxx", "xxxxx", [Query="SELECT#(lf)#(tab)storeid as 'Shop'#(lf)#(tab), concat('SCO', posnr) as POS#(lf)#(tab), concat(datediff(hour,[LastTransactionDate]#(lf)#(tab), CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),' h') as 'Age'#(lf)#(tab), POSIPaddress as 'IP'#(lf)#(tab),[PosNr]#(lf) ,[AdapterPosOrGroupId]#(lf) ,[UpdatedOn]#(lf) ,[LastTransactionDate]#(lf) ,[LastStartDate]#(lf) ,[Open]#(lf) ,[Locked]#(lf) ,[CashDisabled]#(lf) ,[IsCashEnabled]#(lf) ,[CashDevicesTraficLight]#(lf) ,[POSIPAddress]#(lf) ,[ScoPosServiceVersion]#(lf) ,[WinScoVersion]#(lf) ,[StoreType]#(lf)FROM [LaneEventDatabase ].[dbo].[POS.LaneCurrentState]"]),
#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each if [CashDevicesTraficLight] = "green" then 1 else if [CashDevicesTraficLight] = "yellow" then 2 else if [CashDevicesTraficLight] = "red" then 3 else 4),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Conditional Column",{{"Custom", type number}})
in
#"Changed Type"
which works just great but visual studio doesnt like the way source is handled and while deploying gives me error:
Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'An M partition uses a data function which results in access to a data source different from those defined in the model.
'.
Just create a new Custom Column using this below code-
= Text.From(
(Duration.Days(DateTime.LocalNow()-[date]) * 24) +
Duration.Hours(DateTime.LocalNow()-[date])
) & "h"
Here is sample output-
I've have the following code to get some specific WorkItems:
string workItemQueryString = "Select Id, State, Type From WorkItems Where [Work Item Type] = 'Code Review Request' And [Area Path] = 'abc' Order By [Changed Date] Desc";
var workItemQuery = new Query(workItemStore, workItemQueryString);
WorkItemCollection queryResults = workItemQuery.RunQuery();
This code runs fast (< 1 sec). However I also want to get some extra fields like "Associated Context Type" and "Associated Context".
So I use this code get get those fields:
var workItemDetails = queryResults.Cast<WorkItem>().Select(workItem => new WorkItemDetail
{
WorkItem = workItem,
AssociatedContextType = workItem.Fields.Contains("Associated Context Type") ? workItem.Fields["Associated Context Type"].Value : null,
AssociatedContext = workItem.Fields.Contains("Associated Context") ? workItem.Fields["Associated Context"].Value : null
}).ToList();
But this code runs very slow (13 to 20 seconds) which looks to me that separate queries (for each workitem?) are fired to the TFS server to get all data.
Note that when I use a Parallel.ForEach statement, the code breaks with an exception.
The total number of WorkItems in the WorkItemCollection is about 2800.
Try to change:
AssociatedContextType = workItem.Fields.Contains("AssociatedContextType") ? workItem.Fields["AssociatedContextType"].Value : null,
AssociatedContext = workItem.Fields.Contains("AssociatedContext") ? workItem.Fields["AssociatedContext"].Value : null
to:
AssociatedContextType = workItem.Fields.Contains("Associated Context Type") ? workItem.Fields["Associated Context Type"].Value : null,
AssociatedContext = workItem.Fields.Contains("Associated Context") ? workItem.Fields["Associated Context"].Value : null
I am doing Oracle database project which called "Theatre booking system".
I am trying to display discounted price through Customer_Concession and Member_Concession.
Null-able foreign keys are bookingId, cconcessionId, and mconcessionId in Ticket table.
I want to display all ticket even one of id is not exist.
How can I write the SQL?
Could you help me?
Thanks.
SELECT t.ticketId, pro.name "Production name", PRICE.LEVELID "Price level",
Price.price "Price", (Price.price - ccons.discountPrice - mcons.discountPrice)
"Discounted Price", t.seatNo "Seat", t.rowNo "Row", t.block "Block",
per.performance_date "Performance date", per.start_time "Start time",
per.end_time "End time", t.availability "Availability"
FROM Ticket t, Production pro, Performance per, Price, Price_level,
Booking, Customer, Customer_Concession ccons, Member_concession mcons
WHERE t.performanceid = per.performanceid AND
t.PRODUCTIONID = Price.PRODUCTIONID AND
t.levelId = Price.levelId AND
Price.PRODUCTIONID = pro.PRODUCTIONID AND
Price.levelId = Price_level.levelId AND
t.bookingId = Booking.bookingId AND
Booking.customerId = Customer.customerId AND
ccons.cconcessionId = t.cconcessionId AND
mcons.mconcessionId = t.mconcessionId
ORDER BY t.ticketId
What you are looking for is called LEFT OUTER JOIN.
for more info, visit this site: http://www.oreillynet.com/network/2002/04/23/fulljoin.html
Try...
WHERE t.performanceid = per.performanceid AND
t.PRODUCTIONID = Price.PRODUCTIONID AND
t.levelId = Price.levelId AND
Price.PRODUCTIONID = pro.PRODUCTIONID AND
Price.levelId = Price_level.levelId AND
t.bookingId = Booking.bookingId(+) AND
Booking.customerId = Customer.customerId(+) AND
ccons.cconcessionId(+) = t.cconcessionId AND
mcons.mconcessionId(+) = t.mconcessionId
