Folks,
I've column [A] with various texts and need to transform that text (i.e., replace with abbreviations) before loading.
So, a table has values: J1, J2, J3, PLAB, CIVIL, ENGG etc.
I need to transform it to "J1" to "Java", "J2" to "Stack", while keeping the PLAB, CIVIL & ENGG as they are.
Hope I am clear.
PS: I don't need a calculated column, as column [A] has other text that does not need transformed.
This can be done when you add the data table to the analytic.
File > Add Data Table > (Select your data)
At the bottom of the window, you will see Transformations... select Calculate and replace column
Add the expression below, and give it the same column name as the original column
Select OK
Custom Expression:
case
when [yourColumn] = 'J1' then 'Java'
when [yourColumn] = 'J2' then 'Stack'
else [yourColumn]
end

I have the following matrix loaded:
I need to change the font color of the BB column values when the value is below the value contained in the MIN column cell.
Being grouped columns, the MIN column will not always be in fourth place. How can I do to compare values taking into account the name of the columns?
Thank you!!
I share the output of the dataset:
I have found a solution based on our discussion in the comments:
Create a calculated field in your dataset Ref = ELEMENT + COMPONENT (concatenate the 2 colums, this will be used later)
In the Row Group properties, add a variable MinVar =lookup("MIN" & Fields!Component.Value ,Fields!Ref.Value,Fields!Value.Value,"DataSet1") (replace DataSet1 with your dataset name)
In the font expression of the value field add an expression =if(Fields!Element.Value ="BB",if(Me.Value< Variables!MinVar.value,"Red","Black") ,"Black")
I have tested this and it is working on my end.
I have been stuck on something on PowerQuery for hours now and I cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.
Context
I try to use "Table.TransformColumns" to change the table.
My code is
= Table.TransformColumns(table,{"A Only",
each Table.SelectRows(_, (X)=> Text.Contains(X[Customer Search Term], [Word A]))})
and the error msg is
Expression.Error: The column 'Word A' of the table wasn't found.
If I change the [Word A] into "AAA", the code can process normally.
Does anyone know how to use the columns[Word A] instead of the string "AAA"?
The problem here is that Table.Transform applies a transformation to a single column and cannot reference other columns without some sort of workaround.
See this post for more information:
Power Query Transform a Column based on Another Column
The simplest approach is to define a new custom column (which can reference multiple existing columns) and then delete the existing one that it replaces.
To do it without needing an extra column, you can use the approach in the linked post and use a row transformation, which has the other columns as part of the record you're transforming:
= Table.FromRecords(Table.TransformRows(table,
(r) => Record.TransformFields(r, {"A Only",
each Table.SelectRows(_, (X) => Text.Contains(X[Search Term], r[Word A]))
})))
Note the r in front of [Word A]. This is the context that was missing with Table.Transform.
I've been working on a spreadsheet with over 100 rows, and found a hacky way to incorporate a "hide" checkbox that will hide any row where column C matches a specific value (building type), specified beside the box. To do this, I first created a function like this: =FILTER(Data!A1, OR(Data!$C1<>$O$2, $P$2)) and dragged that across every row and column in a seperate sheet. This reads as, "Display current cell if the corresponding column C in that row in Data does not match the building type, or if the the checkbox is checked. This way, the whole row is hidden when the building type matches, and the box is unchecked. A1 adjusted to each row individually, $C1 referenced the building's type, $O$2 referenced the targeted type to potentially hide, and $P$2 was the checkbox.
Problem #1: This created a lot of formulas in hundreds of cells, and when the building type was not found, it displayed #N/A across the entire row. A Filter View was able to hide these values, but it was inconvenient to have to reset the values every time I wanted to hide or unhide another building type.
My Attempt to Fix: I used a filter function once again to recreate the entire sheet from one cell, hiding the appropriate rows, using this: =FILTER(Data!A2:J191, ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C2:C191<>$O$2)+(Data!D2:D191*$P$2)) This is the hacky part. I multiplied the checkbox's "true" by an array arbitrary positive numerical values in the D column to "OR" it with each building type value to achieve the same goal as before, but for EVERY cell.
Problem #2 arose: When I get my beautiful sheet, I can not sort it via a filter view, or it will throw an error and display nothing. I'm resorting to sorting the original tab, but intend to have it be ignored entirely. So how do I combine these two, Filter View, and Filter Function, to create a nice spreadsheet where I can SORT AND HIDE rows?
Bonus Problem #3: To add more buttons, my formula is this: =FILTER(Data!A1:J191, ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C1:C191<>$O$2)+(Data!D2:D192*$P$2)), ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C1:C191<>$O$3)+(Data!D2:D192*$P$3)), ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C1:C191<>$O$4)+(Data!D2:D192*$P$4)), ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C1:C191<>$O$5)+(Data!D2:D192*$P$5)), ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C1:C191<>$O$6)+(Data!D2:D192*$P$6)), ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C1:C191<>$O$7)+(Data!D2:D192*$P$7)), ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C1:C191<>$O$8)+(Data!D2:D192*$P$8)), ARRAYFORMULA((Data!$C1:C191<>$O$9)+(Data!D2:D192*$P$9))) This is ugly, and very slow to load. Is there a way to create a function range to handle the same checks on multiple rows, and crunch it into a single formula?
Here is another monstrosity (this one has less repetition) for you:
=QUERY(
{IGNORE!A2:J, IGNORE!P2:P},
"SELECT * "
& "WHERE Col3 is not null "
& IF(COUNTIF(P2:P9, False) = 0, "", "AND NOT Col3 MATCHES '^" & JOIN("$|^", IFNA(FILTER(O2:O9, P2:P9 = False))) & "$' ")
& IF(COUNTIF(A2:K2, ">0") = 0, "", "ORDER BY Col" & JOIN(", Col", IFNA(FILTER(COLUMN(A2:K2) & IF(COLUMN(A2:K2) = 1, "", " DESC"), A2:K2)))),
0
)
Your checkboxes should remain. The second row can have just True/False values, no need for column number (a simple change will be needed COUNTIF(A2:K2, ">0") -> COUNTIF(A2:K2, True)). Also consequent sort works now (but only in the actual order of columns: if checked 1, 3, 4 then it will be sorted first by 1, then by 2, then by 4). You could place another config table on the right about sorting, where you would select all the columns you wish to sort by, their mutual order, and desc/asc for them.
Edit: added IFNA so FILTER won't return an error, changed multiple ANDS to MATCHES and simple regexes.
I have a google sheet with a column of item names, (i.e. "Amy dress, Brooke Tshirt, etc.) Some of these items have a prefix - JK or JL (JK - Amy Dress, JL - Brooke Dress) in addition to the non-prefixed versions. I'm trying to find a way to search for a prefix (JK - ) and return the item name associated with that prefix in a different column.
Search for "JK - ", find JK - Amy Dress, return Amy Dress. Please help!
Tried lookup and match, but this is too complicated for my skill set.
You can try to use a Google Sheets Query.
If you want something like this:
Based on the table above the query you'll have to use will be:
=query(A:B;"select * where B Starts with 'JK'";-1)
If you want to select only the B column just remove the A:
=query(B;"select * where B Starts with 'JK'";-1)
The query automatically creates a new "table" with all the values you need.
If you want to make it customizable use the following query:
=query(A:B;"select * where B Starts with '"&$G1&"'";-1)
In this case instead of "JK" we are searching something that starts with the content of the cell G1. So if you type JK in the G1 cell you will obtain the same result as before.
Hope it helps.
I have a Pig latin related problem:
I have this data below (in one row):
A = LOAD 'records' AS (f1:chararray, f2:chararray,f3:chararray, f4:chararray,f5:chararray, f6:chararray);
DUMP A;
(FITKA,FINVA,FINVU,FEEVA,FETKA,FINVA)
Now I have another dataset:
B = LOAD 'values' AS (f1:chararray, f2:chararray);
Dump B;
(FINVA,0.454535)
(FITKA,0.124411)
(FEEVA,0.123133)
And I would like to get those two dataset joined. I would get corresponding value from dataset B and place that value beside the value from dataset A. So expected output is below:
FITKA 0.123133, FINVA 0.454535 and so on ..
(They can also be like: FITKA, 0.123133, FINVA, 0.454535 and so on .. )
And then I would be able to multiply values (0.123133 x 0.454535 .. and so on) because they are on the same row now and this is what I want.
Of course I can join column by column but then values appear "end of row" and then I can clean it by using another foreach generate. But, I want some simpler solution without too many joins which may cause performance issues.
Dataset A is text (Sentence in one way..).
So what are my options to achieve this?
Any help would be nice.
A sentence can be represented as a tuple and contains a bag of tuples (word, count).
Therefore, I suggest you change the way you store your data to the following format:
sentence:tuple(words:bag{wordcount:tuple(word, count)})
