I want to unpiovt some data and wanted to use PowerPivot. The last time I used it I had a tab called "Transformation" which is not there anymore. I looked around and could not find a "modify menue" Option in PowerPivot.
Does some one has a hint where I have the pimp the settings?
Thx
Alex
Hmm...strange.
The way I opened Power Pivot over the Power Pivot Tab in Excel I do not get the Transformation tab. I've just found by accident in the contex menue of the table the option "Data from table...". When clicking on that I get a new window that looks different but is called PowerQuery Editor. And in this window I have the transformation tab...

When connecting to AnalysisService / Cube with Excel, I have a PivotTable in a Excel Tab.
Here it is.
And the PivotTable settings is in the Sheet1
THEN I do double-click in the corresponding cell where excel tells me "DOUBLE CLICK"
What I am trying to say is that I can perform many Pivot Table and filters, and excel creates, for every settings, a NEW TAB after I perform also the Double-click.
Ok.
But then, how I recall again the original settings for each Excel TAB ?
What is the way to show the originals parameters for every Tab, in Excel, that were used to compute and search or filter some results ?
Maybe there is not a way.

The results in a Excel TAB (Just an example) after doing the double-click to compute the fields putted in the PivotTable
The question is. How, from the results, I can return back to the original settings that originated the table data ? If I don't remember the original parameters that I've put, how I see them again, FOR EVERY TAB ?
If it's not clear, please let me know in the comments
Thanks !
once the query is submitted, there's noway to see the original filter.
I have a simple Power BI dashboard which links to just one spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains superfluous Columns, which I have now deleted.
However, when I refresh the data in Power BI, the Fields which were created from those Columns still exist on the right hand side.
How do I get Power BI to recognise that those Columns / Fields no longer exist?
I can delete them manually but I would expect there to be a sleeker option.
Thanks
Click on the "Transform Data" icon and you will end up in the PowerQuery designer (which is where you are deleting the columns). First refresh your preview (the circled option below).
If that does not work, then right click your table and select advanced editor.
Remove the columns from the Transform
Another reason can be when you've deleted a column you have previously renamed. This triggers an identical error as there's nothing to be renamed.
Its just a different type of error and thus different line in Murray Foxcroft's reply.
Solution: Avoid the field to be part of any logical expression in "Advanced Editor" view.
I unioned two tables (AccelerateData and Adjustments) in PowerQuery and loaded them into the data model (table name in the data model is AccelerateData). Afterwards I created a pivot table from the data model to analyze it. I want to make the data model accessible to other users as well and therefore I'm doing some tidying up.
In PowerPivot there is the option to "Hide from Client Tools". I have done this for the non relevant PowerPivot for columns and tables. However, I always see the source data tables from PowerQuery in the field list of the pivot table and can't find out how to hide them.
Anybody knows how to not show them in the field list?
Thank you very much!
I don't see a way to do exactly what you are asking under the All tab, but you can easily hide (or unhide) any sources from the Active tab with just a right-click and Remove from (or Show in) Active Tab.
In my opinion, All really should show all dependencies rather than some arbitrary user defined selection with the Active tab being used for customization and this seems to be how Microsoft built it.
After hiding them using the "Hide from Client Tools" option in Powerpivot, you also have to right-click and refresh your pivot table. That should hide the fields from the pivot table fields list.
I found a better solution than using the "Active" / "All" tabs.
In Excel, go the table you want to hide, then go to the Power Pivot tab, and select "Add to Data Model". This will make the table directly visible in Power Pivot, where you can now "Hide from Client Tools".
I agree that the PivotTable Fields view shouldn't include tables outside of your data model, but with this solution you at least gain control of hiding them, and as long as you don't create any relationships you should be ok in terms of performance.
I have a long set of data, it can be grouped into general cathegories but I need to see the details as well.
I know how I can acheve this with a pivot table, but I am wondering if it is possible to get this done in some other way?
Note: I have well over 1000 rows in that table, whatever solution you proposu it should not require a lot of time for each row in the table.
Thank you
I found it in the "Data" Ribbon, there is section "Outline", it has a "Subtotal" button, select the table, and then click on "Subtotal", menu that pops ups will help you build in the "drill" capability to the table.
Excel powerview has this functionality, available in v2013.
I'm experiencing a problem with Excel Services and charts:
If in my excel pivot chart I use the default style, when publishing the excel to sharepoint all goes well. When I try to make some customization on the pivot chart (e.g. add data labels) they are kept unless the pivot data is updated adding a new row.
Specifically, I have pivot data with dates as rows and the filter is saved on "Today". When the day change, my chart style is lost (reverted to the default one).
Does anyone know about this odd behavior? Is there some setting in excel or Excel Service I'm missing?
Thanks
In client Excel, refreshing the pivot table often reverts formatting of the table and related chart to the default. Microsoft doesn't quite admit it's a bug, but suggests recording a macro when you reformat your chart, so you can rerun the macro. I suppose this doesn't help in Excel Services.
I ran into this same problem when I tried to make my data labels vertical. I found that you could prevent it from happening if you saved your chart design as a template. So the steps for the workaround are
1. Style the chart as you want it to look.
2. Go to the Design tab of the PivotChart Tools group.
3. Hit the 2nd button to the left labeled Save as Template
4. Save the template, the name and the location don't seem to matter.
5. Then save back to sharepoint, now your style will stay even as you save.
