Thanks
Damien

Is it possible for an interactive report to show the original column's name instead of "Beautifying" it? Example: column name is data_id but it is displayed Data Id instead.
Well, nothing prevents you to type any heading you find appropriate. data_id included.
If you wanted Apex to use exact column names by default, I'm not aware of such an option.
I have a dashboard and I want to show when the dataset was created. I have a column in my dataset and I was trying to use QS Parameters or Calculated Field, but no luck. I can create a static parameter and output that value in a title of visualization, however I can't dynamically select max(my_last_date_filed) from the dataset.
Any ideas?
I used Insight type, where I defined variable as following: Maximum.timeValue.formattedValue, which solved my problem
I would like to now, if has a way to create automatically columns on Data Conversion (SISS) .
I have an Excel Source with a med19g (which represents 2019 year).
Next step, I have my Data Conversion:
As you see, med19g columns is on it.
So, next year will be added a med20g (represents 2020 year) column in Excel, and I'd like to find a way to add this column automatically or way to prevent that column on my solution (Data Conversion).
Does someone have any idea how I can I get it?
I'm using Visual Studio 2015
Thanks in advance
You will need to use "Flat file source" in the data flow to get the source file. After that, Use "Derived Column" under Data Flow Transformations category and add the desired field like below:
You can edit your output column name later by using Advanced Editor (Right click on Derived column)
If you need to check whether your source file has the same column or not already, you can add a "Script Component" (Source) between the "Get Flat File" and "Derived Column" components. In the script, check your column names and use a boolean value to decide if a column name is existing already or not. How you can do is explained clearly in this link:

Using Visual Studio 2013, is there anyway to create dynamic reports that allow the addition of unknown columns?
I'm creating a report that will show different columns per user with a possible limit of up to 8 columns. Is there a way to set some kind of variable column as a placeholder that if not in use, hide?
Using RDLC you can't dinamically add/remove columns.
In this case I would use an 8 columns DataTable filled at runtime depending on user and 8 ReportParameter to store the column name.
If a column name is nothing then set TableColumn Hidden property to True.
I am trying to sort months into PowerBI Designer Preview, it looks like it only can be done alphabetically. But when I look on the internet at images of PowerBI it looks like they are all sorted correctly. Can somebody help me? And there must be other people who are facing this problem right?
Thank you in advance.
Check what is the data type of the column you are trying to sort. If it's Text then it would sort alphabetically, irrespective that these are numbers. Make sure it's Date or Number to sort correctly.
In Power Pivot, you can set a sort by column. This hints Power Pivot to sort a given column like a column of month names by another column like a column of integers representing the order of month names. The pattern is to create a Date table - a table with all of your dates. In this date table you create a column with month names and another column with month indexes. Then you select the column with month names and set the sort by property to the month indexes column. Usually, I like to create a 'MonthYear' column that has values like "Dec-14", "Jan-15" etc. this then allows me to sort correctly across years.
