Show a value only in a dashboard in azure? - azure

I have following query:
AppMetrics | where Name=="ReportImported"| summarize Value=count()
I would like to show the value in a dashboard, and it looks like this:
Is there anyway to only display the number and not having it displayed as a list with a Value column?

You can use an Azure Monitor Workbooks to achieve this.
From your Azure Portal, go to Monitor and look for Workbooks on the left pane. Then click New to create a new Workbook, followed by the Add query button.
At this point you can already paste your query in the query console window. Select your Log Analytics Workspace and make sure to run the query to validate it works. Under the Visualization drop-down, choose Tiles and a new Tiles settings will appear on the right. Click on that to bring up the settings page.
Here the only thing I configured was the Left Tile field. Set your values accordingly and check the custom formatting box. Click Apply to see the changes reflect. You can explore other features here and then click on Done editing if you're satisfied. Finally, click on Done editing and save your workbook.
Now for the next step, the Workbook needs to be in edit mode again. Edit it and then click on the Pin icon. A pop-up shows up, explaining two options you have for pinning. Look to the right you'll see another 'item-level' pin. Click on that and choose your dashboard.
It should show up in your dashboard with the Workbook name as the title and a number as the only content of the tile.
It might seem a bit complex but that's the only method I found today, after struggling for a solution for a few weeks. Workbooks are very powerful and allow for very rich visualization!

There isn't a suitable tile in the Tile Gallery that can do this straight out of the box. There is a similar open idea on User Voice.
The closest I could get to doing something similar is by using the Workbooks feature in Azure Monitor, that would look like this when pinned to the dashboard:
Here are the steps to create the above visual:
Navigate to your Log Analytics Workspace
Create a new workbook > Add query
Add your log analytics query and run a preview
Configure the Tile settings as follows:
Change the Visualization dropdown to Tiles and then select Tile Settings.
Set the Title and select Left. Change the value for Use column: to Count, and Column Renderer to Big Number.
After saving the query step but before saving the workbook, select the pin option and pin this query step to your Azure dashboard as follows:
With this approach, you can leverage a range of visualization options and features that Azure Monitor Workbooks offer, creating rich visual reports and interactive experiences.

Creating from blank canvas sharepoint lookup fields are not visible when editing form

Creating from blank Powerapp canvas Sharepoint lookup fields are not visible when editing form.
It is working fine if I start creating my app from Sharepoint data however I need tablet/web layout. I am using on-prem Sharepoint data and a gateway.
Update: As a workaround I was able to convert my phone layout app derived from sharepoint list to a tablet layout by saving to local folder and updating the properties json file.
Steps:
Save phone layout app created from sharepoint data to local folder.
Create a blank app from tablet layout and save to local folder.
Rename both .msapp files by adding the .zip extension.
Extract both file to one directory
open the properties.json file of both apps and update the LocalConnectionReferences, DocumentLayoutWidth, DocumentLayoutHeight, DocumentLayoutOrientation, DocumentAppType to be the same as the value of the blank app
Save and drag updated properties.json to the original zip file.
Rename from zip to msapp extension.
Reopen from powerapps, browse from local folder.
Click App Settings.Click Screen size + orientation.
In the Size radio button, select 3:2. Click Apply.Click Save.
In the Size radio button, select 16:9.Click Apply.Click Save.
Would you be willing to try this method? (You can mute the sound if it bothers you.)

If you don't like that approach:
Forms: Try selecting the form control, then use the right properties panel to click on edit fields. The lookup column should be listed in the area with the checkboxes. If it is a brand new lookup column that you recently added to SharePoint, then try saving and closing your app, then reopening to force a hard refresh of the data.
Galleries: Click on the label control where you want the lookup, then use the formula bar TEXT property and use the formula ThisItem. followed by the field name then followed by another . (dot) then Value.

Automation on PowerBI using Python

I want to write python script to automate some process in dashboard of PowerBI.
My use cases are about:
Open powerBI and click to page 1 of dashboard.
click some filter and then capture the screen.
click the other pages and do step 2.
I try to run some command in https://github.com/dubravcik/pbixrefresher-python. It can open powerBI and refresh the data. So, I adapt some script from it.
Now, I can use pywinauto and pyautogui to do the above process. It can refer to buttons in ribbon tab but I want to refer to page tab and filter in the dashboard. pyautogui can refer to position in the screen by the pixel but it doesn't work in different resolution screen. Moreover, it hasn't exact format in each page of the dashboard.
I try to use swapy64bit to find a object value but it doesn't work in complex program like powerBI.
So, my problem is how to reference object in dashboard from powerBI (page, filter) using its unique value (such as variable name) instead of screen position.
Regards,
Example of my powerBI dashboard

How to create nested tiles in Power View

I am currently able to use the tile feature in Power View to view data much more quickly. However I haven't figured out a way to have nested tiles to further drill down into the relevant data.
For example, I want a tile strip at the top of my view of all the different "Projects." Once I click on a tile, I want to see all the relevant data for that project and have part of that container have a strip of tiles to show "Risks, Issues, Action Items, etc." and other items in a list. See image in this link (it is a non-working dashboard, but showing you all to get a better idea of the hierarchy).
Does any one know how to do this? I know I can use slicers instead for one of the levels or view filters but I want to be able to use tiles for both.
If you use a slicer within your tile it will almost do what you want. However, you wouldn't get the nice icons for warning & error to be the source of selection. You could make it more visual by separately having a table that includes the images so that when a user selects a slicer value, it shows the appropriate icon.

In the September Power BI update they've added te possibility to: Drill Up/Down for column and scatter charts in Reports.

PerformancePoint scorecard drill down

I have a scorecard with hierarchy in PerformancePoint dashboard.
By default everything is expanded (drilled down to the lowest level), is there any way I can prevent this, so when I load a scorecard everything will be collapsed (not drilled down) ?
Default:
Desired:
Select "all children" instead of "all descendants".
Atleast that did the trick for me when creating charts.
Right click on the dimension column of the Scorecard.
Click Select Members
Select Children of "All" as shown in image below.
Click OK
Save
Caution: If you expand any member and save, the score card will also appear expanded.
How you see the scorecard in Dashboard Designer, it will appear exactly the same in the Browser.
Thanks,
Merin
When you view the scorecard from dashboard designer, All you need to do is unexpand which levels you do not want to show. This will create a default for all your viewers to see.

How to disable field list at runtime in performancepoint?

I have a dashboard that I am displaying, and whenever my users click on a pivotchart or pivottable the field list automatically pops up. How can I prevent this from occurring?
If you wish to use ad hoc analysis tools such as pivottables and charts in a dashboard like this, the field list will always appear.
If you are able to use static data then render it out to that format and replace what you currently have with it.
Edit the chart in Dashboard Designer. In the Commands and Options dialog box select Chart Workspace in the drop down list. Once you do that, the tab Show/Hide should appear. On that tab you can clear the checkbox for the Fields List. Clear any other checkboxes in that dialog, and close the window. Click on your chart in DD and make sure the fields list (and any other dialog boxes - ie Commands and Options, Drop Zone, etc) don't appear. Publish your chart and you should be good to go.
