DAX previous non empty day - dax

Sorry if I missed similar question/answer.
Basically I am trying to do a day to day comparison in DAX, but cannot find a good way to get the measure for previous non empty day.
I tried PREVIOUSDAY function, but when there is a gap in days, for instance, if there is no sale on Sat & Sun, the result is not what I need
PreviousAmount = CALCULATE([Total $ Amount], PREVIOUSDAY('Fact'[Date]))
What I can think of is to add a helper column in the date dimension to indicate previous non empty date (i.e. if the date is Monday, then previous non empty date will be previous Friday). Then I can use CALCULATE function and filter by the non empty date.
But instead of doing that, is there any way to do the calculation on the fly? Thanks in advance.
Below table should reflect what I want to achieve:
<table border="1">
<th>Date</th><th>Amount</th><th>What I got</th><th>What I hope</th>
<tr>
<td>01/07/2016</td>
<td>7983</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>04/07/2016</td>
<td>15933</td>
<td></td>
<td>7983</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td>05/07/2016</td>
<td>38591</td>
<td>15933</td>
<td>15933</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>06/07/2016</td>
<td>7859</td>
<td>38591</td>
<td>38591</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>07/07/2016</td>
<td>3252</td>
<td>7859</td>
<td>7859</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>07/07/2016</td>
<td>9474</td>
<td>3252</td>
<td>3252</td>
</tr>
</table>

It may not be the neatest but you can create a calculated column to store the previous day value
PreviousDate =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( [Date] ),
FILTER ( AmountTable, AmountTable[Date] < EARLIER ( AmountTable[Date] ) )
)
and then create a new calculated column for the amount for that previous day
=
CALCULATE (
SUM ( [Amount] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( AmountTable ),
AmountTable[Date] = EARLIER ( AmountTable[PreviousDate] )
)
)

Get data from two last columns in table

I'm trying to retrieve data from all the cells in the two last columns of a table with an unknown number of rows and columns. I have to do this by VBScript which I'm having difficulties with.
In the example below there are 2 rows with each 5 columns. However in my situation, the number of rows and columns varying.
I would like to get the data in the last two columns, being Year 2015 and Year 2016 in first row and 444 and 555 in second row etc. Since the rows and columns are varying I cannot find a fitting script for retrieving the data.
The data should be listed as variables, as I need to parse them into an input field.
<table id="calculations_data" class="key_figures togglable">
<tr>
<th></th>
<th scope="col">Year 2012</th>
<th scope="col">Year 2013</th>
<th scope="col">Year 2014</th>
<th scope="col">Year 2015</th>
<th scope="col">Year 2016</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
<tr id="turnover_data" class="data_row addaptive">
<th class="title">Turnover</th>
<td>111</td>
<td>222</td>
<td>333</td>
<td>444</td>
<td>555</td>
</tr>
</table>
Furthermore the data is located in a website which I access by this script:
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate "https://data.biq.dk/users/sign_in"
Note: The website above requires login which I manage via my script. The login details cannot be provided.
I have had success with the code below where the data is located in a tag.
Data_CompanyName = IE.document.getElementsByTagName("h1")(0).innerText
Document.getElementByID("company_name").value = Data_CompanyName
We can extract the innerHTML of that table first and parse that innerHTML as we parse XML. Not sure if this is the best approach but it worked for me.
Try this code:
set objIE = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
objIE.visible = true
objIE.navigate "https://data.biq.dk/users/sign_in" '<--make sure the correct path is entered here(the one which takes you to that page containing the table)
while objIE.readyState <>4
Wscript.sleep 1000
Wend
set objTable = objIE.document.getElementById("calculations_data")
strxml = objTable.innerhtml
set objXML = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
objXML.async=False
objXML.loadxml strxml
set objRowNodes = objXML.selectnodes("//tr")
for i=1 to objRowNodes.length-1
tempArr = split(objRowNodes(i).text)
msgbox "second last: "&tempArr(ubound(tempArr)-1)&vbcrlf&_ 'Displays the 2nd last column data
"last: "&tempArr(ubound(tempArr)) 'Displays the last column data
next

How to access prev or next array at foreach blade laravel

I currently develop a blade View that will loop an array from Controller.
I just create a table that have an aspects, detail aspects, current status, and remark. So, I want loop (with foreach) at my blade view, then at my array there will be a condition that aspects have same value in next row.
For table example:
Aspects | Detail Aspects | Current Status | Remark
Curriculum | 1 | Good | Good
Curriculum | 2 | Good | Good
Curriculum | 3 | Good | Good
Teaching | 4 | Good | Good
So for the table, I want to check if prev.Aspect == current.Aspect, so I don't need to print it again, or maybe I can rowspan that .
I already using $index at my foreach, but I only can print it as number, not accessing my Obj[index] value.
Here my blade code :
<table border='1'>
<tr align='center' class='header'><td>Aspects</td><td>Details</td><td>Current Status</td><td>Remark</td></tr>
#foreach($prAspect as $index => $data)
<tr>
<td>{{$data->praDesc}}</td>
<td>{{$data->prsDesc}}</td>
<td>{{$data->currentStatus}}</td>
<td>{{$data->remark}}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
</table>
You could use for loop instead :
#for ($i = 0; $i < count($prAspect); $i++)
// use $i as index
// use $prAspect[$i]
#endfor
Add ->toArray() to your query builder when you fetch the data. This will help your purpose in this case to access the items as an array for easier comparison.
<table border='1'>
<tr align='center' class='header'><td>Aspects</td><td>Details</td><td>Current Status</td><td>Remark</td></tr>
#foreach($prAspect as $index => $data)
<tr>
<td>{{$data['praDesc']}}</td>
<td>{{$data['prsDesc']}}</td>
<td>{{$data['currentStatus']}}</td>
<td>{{$data['remark']}}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
</table>
Try it might help
#foreach($prAspect as $index => $data)
<tr>
<td>{{!$loop->first ? $prAspect[$index- 1]->praDesc : $data->praDesc}}</td>
<td>{{!$loop->first ? $prAspect[$index - 1]->prsDesc : $data->prsDesc }}</td>
<td>{{!$loop->first ? $prAspect[$index- 1]->currentStatus : $data->currentStatus }}</td>
<td>{{!$loop->first ? $prAspect[$index- 1]->remark : $data->remark }}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach

Using Html Agility Pack to capture inner text from a specific node

I am trying to grab the text "Record No: 1" and the two dates from the following html snippet:
<table class="Report">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<font><b>Record No: 1</b><br>
<i>Original Date</i>: 12/16/2011<br>
<i>Original Entered Date</i>: 12/16/2011
<br>
<br>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<table>
Using HTMLAgilityPack and the following code I've been able to get the record number but am not sure how to grab the dates.
var recordNum =report.Descendants()
.Where(a=>a.InnerText.Contains("Record No:"))
.Where(a => a.Name == "#text")
.First().InnerText;
Somehow I need to be able to grab the text following the "Original Date" node.
Somehow I need to be able to grab the text following the "Original Date" node.
You can use the following XPath to select text nodes located after i element where inner text equals 'Original Date' :
//i[.='Original Date']/following-sibling::text()
Use the XPath as follow, for example :
var doc = new HtmlDocument();
....
var xpath = "//i[.='Original Date']/following-sibling::text()";
var result = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode(xpath);
Console.WriteLine(result.InnerText);
Demo
output :
: 12/16/2011

Laravel 4 array to string conversion

I tried to ran a query, but it returns an Array to string conversion error. I can't fix it, I tried several things, but didn't locate the error.
<td>{{ DB::select( DB::raw('SELECT * FROM `player_deaths` WHERE `player_id`='.$s->id.' order by `time` DESC LIMIT 0, 10') ); }}</td>
You can write your query in a neater way, like that:
DB::table('player_deaths')->where('player_id', '=', $s->id)->orderBy('time', 'desc')->skip(0)->take(10)->get()->toArray();
And you get the error because you want to print out an array. Instead you should iterate over it in a foreach loop.
#foreach (DB::table('player_deaths')->where('player_id', '=', $s->id)->orderBy('time', 'desc')->skip(0)->take(10)->get() as $death)
<td> {{ $death }} </td>
#endforeach
In general, what are you trying to do here ?
Traditionally, Read The Manual man ... it's all there.

Ruby - extracting table values

I'm trying to parse a value from an HTML table (below) using ruby, watir and regular expressions. I want to parse the id info from the anchor tag if the table rows have specified values. For example, if Event1, Action2 are my target row selections, then my goal is to get the "edit_#" for the table row.
Table:
Event1 | Action2
Event2 | Action3
Event3 | Action4
Example of HTML (I've cut some info out since this is work code, hopefully you get the idea):
<div id="table1">
<table class="table1" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<tr class="normal">
<td>Event1</td>
<td>Action2</td>
<td>
<a id="edit_3162" blah blah blah… >
</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt">
<td> Event2</td>
<td>Action3 </td>
<td>
<a id="edit_3163" " blah blah blah…>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
I have tried the following that doesn't really work:
wb=Watir::Browser.new
wb.goto "myURLtoSomepage"
event = "Event1"
action = "Action2"
table = browser.div(:id, "table1")
policy_row = table.trs(:text, /#{event}#{action/)
puts policy_row
policy_id = policy_row.html.match(/edit_(\d*)/)[1]
puts policy_id
This results in this error which is pointing to the policy_id = ...
line : undefined method 'html' for #<Watir::TableRowCollection:0x000000029478f0> (NoMethodError)
Any help is appreciated as I am fairly new to ruby and watir.
Something like this should work:
browser.table.trs.each do |tr|
p tr.a.id if tr.td(:index => 0) == "Event1" and tr.td(:index => 1) == "Action2"
end
This is an alternative to Željko answer. Assuming there is only one row that matches, you can use find instead of each to only iterate through the rows until the first match is found (rather than always going through every row).
#The table you want to work with
table = wb.div(:id => 'table1').table
#Find the row with the link based on its tds
matching_row = table.rows.find{ |tr| tr.td(:index => 0).text == "Event1" and tr.td(:index => 1).text == "Action2" }
#Get the id of the link in the row
matching_row.a.id
