Power BI: Confirm the text of three columns is ="yes" - text

I have the below formula to check that if the value for a record in three column is equal to yes, then 1, otherwise 0. The error sats the syntax for "," is incorrect, why?
SanityCheck_APAC&EM = IF('Connectivity Coverage analysis xlsx_https://iontradingcom sharepoint com/teams/F'[APAC]="yes" && 'Connectivity Coverage analysis xlsx_https://iontradingcom sharepoint com/teams/F'[Emerging Markets])="yes" && RELATED(components_mkt[pacific_rim])="yes",1,0)

Maybe the '(' and ')' is the problem? You open them 2x and close them 3x.
SanityCheck_APAC&EM = IF
(
'Connectivity Coverage analysis xlsx_https://iontradingcom sharepoint com/teams/F'[APAC]="yes"
&& 'Connectivity Coverage analysis xlsx_https://iontradingcom sharepoint com/teams/F'[Emerging Markets]
)
="yes"
&& RELATED
(
components_mkt[pacific_rim]
)
="yes",1,0

Kusto Query Language: set column name of summarize by evaluated expression

Me again asking another Kusto related question (I really wish there would be a thorough video tutorial on this somewhere).
I have a summarize statement, that produces two columns for y axis and one for x axis.
Now i want to relabel the columns for x axis to show a string, that i also got from the database and already put into a variable with let.
This basically looks like this:
let android_col = strcat("Android: ", toscalar(customEvents
| where application_Version contains secondLatestVersionAndroid));
let iOS_col = strcat("iOS: ", toscalar(customEvents
| where application_Version contains secondLatestVersionIOS));
... some Kusto magic ...
| summarize
Android = 100 - (round((countif(hasUnhandledErrorAndroid == 1 ) * 100.0 ) / countif(isAndroid == 1), 2)),
iOS = 100 - (round((countif(hasUnhandledErroriOS == 1) * 100.0 ) / countif(isIOS == 1), 2))
by Time
|render timechart with (ytitle="crashfree users in %", xtitle="date", legend=visible )
Now i want to have the summarize display not Android and iOS, but the value of android_col and iOS_col.
Is that possible?
Best regards
Maverick
Generally, it's suggested to have predefined column names, otherwise various features don't work. For example, IntelliSense won't know the names of the columns, as they would be determined at run time only. Also, if you create a function that returns a dynamic schema, you won't be able to run this function from other clusters.
However, if you do want to change column names, you definitely have a way to do it by using various plugins. For example, bag_unpack, pivot and others.
As for courses on Kusto, there are actually several excellent courses on Pluralsight (all are free):

Basic KQL

The usage of the "toscalar" in this query looks wrong, it seems to me that you should use the "extend" operator with the same logic to create the additional columns.

If Then Else in Infopath (Xpath): how to ?

I've a module in InfoPath / Sharepoint, a query field, and some fields.
I want to perform in formula a simple :
If (Condition) then
True Condition
Else
False Condition
In particular I want to write this formula:
If (FieldA = "") then
Get FieldB
else
Get FieldA
How to do in InfoPath formula ?
Thanks
If you want to use this as a default value, you can simply use the conditional default values. Therefor just use the following snippet:
(TrueResult | ElseResult) [(BoolCondition) + 1]
And in your case:
(FieldA | FieldB) [(string-length(FieldA) > 0) + 1]
For more information on this see:

How to remove percent character from a string in Cognos?

I have a string field with mostly numeric values like 13.4, but some have 13.4%. I am trying to use the following expression to remove the % symbols and retain just the numeric values to convert the field to integer.
Here is what I have so far in the expression definition of Cognos 8 Report Studio:
IF(POSITION('%' IN [FIELD1]) = NULL) THEN
/*** this captures rows with valid data **/
([FIELD1])
ELSE
/** trying to remove the % sign from rows with data like this 13.4% **/
(SUBSTRING([FIELD1]), 1, POSITION('%' IN [FIELD1])))
Any hints/help is much appreciated.
An easy way to do this is to use the trim() function. The following will remove any trailing % characters:
TRIM(trailing '%',[FIELD1])
The approach you are using is feasable. However, the syntax you are using is not compatible with the version of the ReportStudio that I'm familiar with. Below you will find an updated expression which works for me.
IF ( POSITION( '%'; [FIELD1]) = 0) THEN
( [FIELD1] )
ELSE
( SUBSTRING( [FIELD1]; 1; POSITION( '%'; [FIELD1]) - 1 ) )
Since character positions in strings are 1-based in Cognos it's important to substract 1 from the position returned by POSITION(). Otherwise you would only cut off characters after the percent sign.
Another note: what you are doing here is data cleansing. It's usually more advantageous to push these chores down to a lower level of the data retrieval chain, e.g. the Data Warehouse or at least the Framework Manager model, so that at the reporting level you can use this field as numeric field directly.

passing Jan of selected year by default in prompt

I have 2 year-month prompts. If I don't select any year-month in 1st prompt, report should by default, run from January of the same year, selected in 2nd prompt. My prompts are value prompts and have string values. Please help me materialise the requirement. I have already tried # prompt macro, ?prompt?, case when etc. I am nto sure, If javascript would help.
I'm going to assume your underlying date fields are not stored as DATE value types since you're using strings. This may be easier split into 4 prompts: from month, from year, to month, to year.
The filter would then be an implied if:
(
(?FROM_YEAR? = '' or ?FROM_MONTH? = '') and
[database_from_month] = '01' and
[database_from_year] = ?TO_YEAR? and
[database_to_month] = ?TO_MONTH? and
[database_to_year] = ?TO_YEAR?
)
OR
(
(?FROM_YEAR? <> '' or ?FROM_MONTH? <> '') and
[database_from_month] = ?FROM_MONTH? and
[database_from_year] = ?FROM_YEAR? and
[database_to_month] = ?TO_MONTH? and
[database_to_year] = ?TO_YEAR?
)
The above style filter is superior for many reasons:
More likely to be sargeable
Easy to understand
Uses simple built-in Cognos functions; more likely to be cross-version compliant
No issues with cross-browser support you would get with Javascript
Code snippet would work in other Cognos studios (Business Insight, etc)
You've likely seen CASE statements in filters throws an error. The CASE statement is passed to SQL, not compiled into a SQL statement via Cognos. Hence it's not seen as proper syntax.

SSIS - if/else expression to turn string into number

I have Excel sheets where the same column can contain a value with % formatting and also with decimal notation.
To clarify: In Excel both have the same formatting but due to different Excel versions (locations) SSIS shows them like this:
1,3% or 0.814260540128523
These values come in as strings so I'm trying to figure out a way to divide the % formatted values by 100 and leave the others as is.
Initially I used:
(DT_R8)[F5_CONV] < 1 ? (DT_R8)[F5_CONV] : (DT_R8)[F5_CONV] / 100
in a second derived column but I then realized that 0,23% is also a possible value.
I think something like this should do it but I'm having trouble with the DT_WSTR and DT_R8 types.
(F5 == "" || ISNULL(F5)) ? NULL(DT_WSTR,40) : FINDSTRING(F5,"%",1) > 0
? (DT_WSTR,40)REPLACE(REPLACE(F5,".",","),"%","") / 100
: (DT_WSTR,40)REPLACE(F5,".",",")
Hope you can help me out here.
Thank you.
(F5 == "" || ISNULL(F5)) ? NULL(DT_WSTR,40) : FINDSTRING(F5,"%",1) > 0
? (DT_WSTR,40)((DT_R8)REPLACE(REPLACE(F5,".",","),"%","") / 100)
: (DT_WSTR,40)REPLACE(F5,".",",")
You can also use script component. Here is a quick solution; you may need to add validations for null. Let us know, if you need help.
