I am creating personalised information link based on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puc9gjv8_VI&feature=youtu.be
I am joining table with all data and Lookup table with usernames in Information Designer based on one column that is common for both.
But when I include filter and condition on my "User name" column to be 1% = (%CURRENT_USER%), I get nothing in data.
At the end you can find pictures with filter I use and my user name.
What can be potentially wrong here?
Thanks a lot!

I'm using a worksheet that is configured to connect to the data Cube and everything I see is a pivot table.
I put Customer ID into Row and Net Revenue into Column, but somehow I cannot filter Revenue (it's greyed out), and I cannot use a slicer on that field. Is there anything I did wrong? I can filter Customer ID, but that's not going to be useful. It seems that I can only put it into "Values", which is pretty frustrating.
A side question: Is there a way to know the SQL scripts used in each OLAP query? I'm thinking maybe I can write VBA codes for the query, which would be more flexible.
Click on the Customer ID filter icon, and select the VALUE filter option. This lets you filter the aggregated numbers in the VALUES field from the perspective of the field you are filtering from (in this case, from the perspective of the ID field)
I have a table with usernames, country and the sales data, all this in one table.
How can we restrict access for users based on country using personalized information link.
I saw some tutorials with multiple lookup tables, but unable to locate one which uses only one table data.
In your information link, use %CURRENT_USER% as the Value under the Filters box for the column which contains the username. Or, if you are using a procedure, it would be for an input parameter.
So I am trying to link an employee metrics pivot chart with an employee project table with one slicer. I want an employee slicer that manipulates all charts but the data is coming from 2 different places (SQL, Sharepoint). When I try to create a relationship based on Employees I get the following error: "The relationship cannot be created because each column contains duplicate values. Select at least one column that only contains unique values."
So one chart has quantitative items while the table has qualitative items and I want one slicer to manipulate both at the employee level.
I want to see all the data on both charts for the selected employee, and not just single items linked by unique values. I can use unique values, and have created relationships that one slicer can manipulate however I only get one record at a time that way and therefore the slicer has thousands of buttons (one for each record).
I wouldn't think this would be that difficult and I hope it's really not.
Please Help!
M2M relationships in PowerPivot will most likely cause more headaches than solutions unless you are aware of what you are doing. After some thought, I realized that I really do not want an m2m relationship because it would result in junk data for what I wanted. I just wanted to start my answer off acknowledging that I did not achieve an m2m.
So if you want to link SharePoint data to Excel here is what you need to do:
Export SharePoint data as an RSS feed. If this is something others will need to refresh then the rss file will need to be stored on a shared drive.
Add PowerPivot if you have not already done so. In PowerPivot get external data from other sources (rss feed) then add your file. To link data you will need a Unique ID to join tables on.
I have a portal in my contacts table layout that shows related mention in a second "mentions" table. This related table has a relationship to a third "sources" table that I want the user to select from when they view the data in the "mentions" portal of my "contacts" layout. This works for the most part. The problem comes when the user changes the "source" in the portal then attempts to change the "source" in the next portal row t will change the "source" to the last select source regardless to make a selection
any ideas ?
here are some screen shots of how I have it setup
portal and specified field
and field control setup
and the relationship
You are modifying the value of the source field in the sources table, which is not what you want. You only want to use that data to populate your value list and store the serial number of that source (or the source text) in your mentions table.
1) Create a value list from sources using all values from the sources field.
2) Create a new field in the Mentions table called 'source.'
3) Add that field to the portal and remove the current sources field.
4) Apply the value list to your new field.
It sounds like your portal isn't actually the mentions table, but the sources table. Either that or the field that you're using to change the "source" is not in the mentions table, or is not the correct Table Occurrence.
The portal should be based on the Mentions table, and should contain a field in that table that refers to the sources table, not a field from the sources table.
Either way, to diagnose it further, I'd probably need more detail.
In a SharePoint calendar list, I have a Title column (single line of text) and a Contact column (person or group).
What I would like to do is create a custom field for a RSVP link. The link would be a "mailto:" url using the Contact column's email address and the Title column's value for the subject. For example: mailto:someone#xyz.com?subject=thetitle. The link would be shown in Display view of the event item.
Is this possible? How would I be able to go about doing this?
[Added Question]
Could this be done using a computed field or custom field? If so, how?
Have you look at calculated fields? I think that it should be doable using the CONCATENATE function.
