I am trying to do some reporting stuff (engineering field), and I am stuck on some "simple" thing, how to insert/add custom Min/Max values so that I can have on the certain visual (like on the picture) border values, min and max that I have defined!
I am receiving set of data, where Min/Max aren't included, and I have to calculate them (those border values are defined by us). I tried to do add column but when I go to "analytics" and try to put there Min/Max, I am getting doubled lines and its quite messy (on pic below)... Is there any easier and better way to calculate / add that? From additional table or else??
Min would be 60 °C
Max would be 100 °C , it is just temperature range and its limitation.
So on the pic below, I tried Add Column into the Data and also Measure directly (60 and 100 degrees) and got this below....the problem is, you cant edit these lines... the thing is I wanted them from Analytics part but there I cant see them because they re not "existing".
So, after little bit of playing around and some suggests of PBI pros, I will just write two ways of getting the same results, with minor change.
1) You can insert measure/column into your data set (in my case that was Min = 60 and Max = 100), simple as a day. Then on Format tab > Customize series where you can adjsut your Line: width, type, style...
2) Without any calculation: On Analytics tab > add 2x Constant Lines, put values that you want and thats it.
The only difference here is Data labeling, on 2nd option you can see your limiter value on one of the sides...and using 1st option, your limiter value is through whole line, and you cant remove it (for a whole line). But depends what and how you wanna see your data.
Maybe there are some other ways but this one was fine for me, didnt explore fully PBI yet.

I want to calculate the overburden pressure at certain depth (reference C14) but including the effect of water table. As, below water table submerged density should be considered and above saturated density should be considered. So, i am looking for a formula which can calculate automatically the pressure by changing the water table depth (reference E1). Please see the attachments (spreadsheet and images):

Dont know exactly if i understand what you are trying.
You can use nested if clause to get what you want to do:
=IF(E5<3;"DOE SOMETHING HERE for EGL 0-3";IF(E5<7,5;"DO SOMETHING HERE FOR 3-7.5";"DO SOMETHING FOREGL ABOVE 7.5"))
I just did 3 Steps but it should be clear from here. Excel will evalualte the if clause from left to right until it reaches the first thing that matches. This whay you can just always ask "E5 < Max Value" because if it is between 3 and 7.5 the first if will not trigger but the second one and the it ends. For the last step you just use the "Else" clause.
I have a problematic table, which is interconnected and goes out of memory often, but I've limited it to show 50 items, but now want to limit it to show only lines that one column calculated. The calculation - one price minus another one. I need to limit the lines so that the % or the value is less than 0 (meaning everything with -% or -<0 is acceptable).
Using a calculated dimension does not let me do an if function to accomplish this. The deduction does not work for some reason.
Any help?
I just edited the formula to "=if(dimension='-' or dimension='0', null(), dimension)". So the kicker was actually setting this all to "null()" so the "Suppress When Value Is Null" recognizes things to null.
This actually solves my problem in a different way, however the goal is the same. This skips the values where a calculation is impossible due to lack from one source.
[UPDATE Jun-3rd-2017]: I figured out exactly what I needed. I just made the calculation on the script side and now a calculated dimension is actually restricting all of the values by the calculated dimension as was intended.
I made a little test machine that accidentally created a 'big' data set:
6 columns with +/- 550.000 rows.
The end result I am looking for is a graph with 6 lines, horizontal axis 1 - 550.000 measurements and vertically the values in the rows. (capped at 200 or so). Data is a resistance measurement that should be between 0 - 30 or very big (borken), the software writes 'inf' in these cases.
My skill is limited to excel, so what have I done until now:
Imported in Excel. The measurements are valuable between 0 - 30 and inf is not good for a graph, so I did: if(cell>200){200}else{keep cell value}.
Now making a graph is a timely exercise and excel does not like this, result is not good.
So I would like to take the average value of 60 measurements to reduce the rows to below 10.000. So =AVERAGE(H1:H60)
But I cannot get this to work.
Questions:
How do I reduce this data set and get a good graph.
Should I switch
to other software that is more applicable?
FYI: I already changed the software of the testing device to take the average value of a bunch of measurements the next time... But I cannot repeat this test.

I think you are on the right track, however my guess is that you only want to get an average every 60 rows and are unsure how to do this.
Using MOD(Number, Divisor) inside an if statement will let you specify that the average should be calculated only once in every x number of cells.
Assuming you'll have one row above your data table for headers, you are looking for something along the lines of:
=IF(MOD(ROW(A61),60) = 1,AVERAGE(H2:H61),"")
Once you have this you can filter your average column to non-blank values and use this to create your graph.
I've done some Googling for each of my issues but haven't found exactly the results as I wanted. Things I need to be done doesn’t probably include any macros/VBA skills, just basic knowledge of Excel.
Now to my spreadsheet. I'm a Dota 2 player and I like statistics. I like it that much that I'd like to keep track of my achievements and results. Only problem is that the game tracker sucks and to get great information in web you have to pay for it, so I decided it's time for me to create my own spreadsheet to track my skills.
I don't know which place is the best to share my spreadsheet but I uploaded it to Estonian uploading host, link is here. I will also provide with pictures so you don't have to download anything.
This is what it looks like in general:
Problem number 1: The left table, or column has 1000 rows. In web design it's possible to make elements fixed depending on the scroll, I'd like to use similar feature here. If the table gets scrolled down, the right table (area with games, bonus and graph) will get scrolled down with it.
Problem number 2: Average MMR. I'd like to show average MMR after each entry depending on the first entries. Right now there's avg MMR for J4:J8. The calculation for J8 looks like this: =AVERAGE(C4:C8). For J7 it looks like this: =AVERAGE(C4:C7). I'd like to do this for all my 1000 rows, but I don't want to type it out. If I try to drag down from the corner, it will continue with C5:C8, C6:C9 etc (so it changes the starting point)
Problem number 3: Under longestGame there's currently Date and Hero. This should show the Date and Hero of which the longest game occurred. I tried to do this with LOOKUP function but it required table to be in ascending order, which I don't want. For current, 44,22, there should be Storm Spirit and 14.06.2015.
Problem number 4: Graph. I'd like to display three series on graph - MMR, average MMR and game length (time). The problem is, that MMR and average MMR will be in the numbers on 3000-7000 but the game length will only be probably in timeframe 20:00-120:00. Maybe it's possible to add two sets of values to the Y axis or maybe set Time series maximum 200:00 and minimum 0:00 and create graph according to this. I'm really stupid making graphs and I haven't figured out a clever way yet.
Problem number 5: Graph again. Right now I have to set the series for the graph. I've currently set it to C4:C54 (so 50 rows). I'd like it to move around a bit and by that I mean that if there happens to be C55-th game then the graph would start from C5:C55 and move along (so it'll count 50 last games).
I'm in a benevolent mood so rather than downvoting your question, because it is not really suitable for this forum I'm going to give you some hints and guidance. The numbers below correspond to the problems in your question.
Excel permits more than one window to be used on the same workbook -
so one window can show the data and one the summary.
Find out about absolute and relative cell addressing - its a valuable bit of knowledge for anyone serious about Excel and it will be of use in solving your problem.
Find out about the MATCH function. You can use this to find out which row of your table contains the longest game, shortest game, max MMR, min MMR by matching an element from the summary on the right (cols M onward) against the appropriate column table on the left. The find out about the INDEX function - this can be used to pull the values in the columns for Hero and Date which correspond to a specific row (such as the row containing the longest game, shortest game, etc). Search INDEX MATCH and find out why using these two functions in combination is often preferred to using the VLOOKUP function
Persevere - there are graph options available to do what you want and the only way to really learn is to go through the pain of trying them out, failing and working at it until you succeed.
Set up an area of worksheet to hold the 50*3 table of data for your graphs. Find out about the COUNT function and think how it might be of use in determining which rows of the data table map to the 50 rows of graph data. Then think about how to populate the graph data table using one of the functions mentioned above. Incidentally, C4:C54 is actually 51 rows, not 50.
I'm trying to set a Custom format for the Y-Axis of an Excel Chart and I'm not getting the result I need. I've referenced the Peltier webpage as a good source of information on creating custom Excel formats. I've come up with the following.
[>=1000000]0,,"M";[>=1000]0,"K";0
It works well until I need the rage to show values like 1 million, 1.2 million, 1.4 million, ect... I've tried
[>=1000000]0.#,,"M";[>=1000]0,"K";0
It does display 1.2M and 1.4M as needed but it has a period on the 1 million line "1. M". How do I modify my format to only show the period when the number to right of the decimal point is not zero?
So it looks like the best approach to allow the Axis to scale normally is to show a Zero on the right hand side of the decimal point, therefore always showing decimal point.
So, using
[>=1000000]0.0,,"M";[>=1000]0,"K";0
produces
800K, 1.0M, 1.2M, 1.4M, 1.6M, 1.8M, 2M, 2.2M
Without sample data together with expected results this may require some tweaking but you can add a specific circumstance to remove the decimal point. One of these might be appropriate.
[>1000000]0.0,,\M;[=1000000]0,,\M;0.0,K
[>1000999]0.0,,\M;[>999000]0,,\M;0.0,K
