SSRS Tablix filter out NULLs - visual-studio-2012

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server 2012.
I'm working on trying to filter out records in my Matrix and I have a column group called Description which is grouping records by Open, Assigned, Completed and NULL values. I'm currently trying to filter out that column group so that it only shows Assigned and Completed...and filters out the Open and the NULL.
I know that I right click on Tablix Properties and go to Filters, and I choose Description <> Open and it works. But how do I filter out the NULL records in that same section?

You can filter on nulls by using a formula like this:

How do I use a power apps form for a lookup column?

I have a SharePoint List (say "List-A") with plenty of columns, some of which are lookup columns.
These are just used to construct a choice columns, where the items in the choice drop down are the items of a column in a different List ("List-B").
I have used the function on SharePoint to integrate List-A with Power Apps Form. This creates a Power Apps form that is readily available.
For the Lookup choice columns, I have added List-B as the data source, and am using the items from the correct column as items in the choice that is linked to the lookup column. This correctly populates the drop down menu as expected.
Now when I publish this form and fill it from sharepoint (it pops up as it should hafter clicking New in the List view) I can fill the entire form and submit with no issue. However all the lookup columns remain blank, as if the form returned a null value instead of the selected.
I have both datasources set up:
The update property of the datacard connecting to the SharePoint List is equal to the Selected of the datacard containing the combobox (combobox is called DataCardValue43).
The items property of the combobox is equal to the correct column of List-B.
As an alternative solution, I have attempted to make a different column that is just one line of text. For this column, I have made a combobox once again setting the items property to the column in List-B. The intention was to return the selected value as a string. It was attempted thus:
where combobox1 once again manages to give the correct options in the drop down box but returns only Null.
To study it further, I have made a power apps flow that takes Create New Sharepoint List object as input. Here I see that the values are indeed Null
The one called "Return" is the text column that I made, and the other being the lookup column. I do notice that the Lookup column isn't called Value, but id. I don't know what to do with that information though.
I really just want to have a column in my power apps form that lets you choose and the choices are values from a column in a different List. What do I do, and why doesn't what I've already done work?
Thank you.
Please follow the steps below to solve the issue.
1: Add a Lookup column in SharePoint List.
2: Open that list in Power Apps by using the Customise Forms Option From SharePoint.
3: The Item property of Lookup field will be by default as follow:
Choices([#'CustomisingSharePointList'].LookupColumnListName)
4: There is no need to change/delete the lookup field with any custom dropdown or combo box. This is the point, where you are doing mistake by adding a custom combobox and replacing the original Lookup dropdown. If you want to change datasource, apply filter or sort the data, you can do all these thing to the same original lookup column.
e.g I have applied filter and sort functions to the existing data:
Sort(Filter(Choices([#'CustomisingSharePointList'].'LookupColumnListName'), Value in Filter(LookupColumnListDataSoure,Progress.Value = "Open").ID),Id)
5: When you will publish the list, it will work fine.
Note:
CustomisingSharePointList: List in which we have added a lookup column.
LookupColumnListName: List to which the lookup column actually belongs to.
LookupColumnListDataSoure: You need to add the original list as data source in power apps to use the above filter. This step is optional and applicable only if you apply filter like I did in step 4

SSRS Expression To Rename NULL Values

I am using Visual Studio 2012 for my SSRS Report.
I have a field called Root Cause in my Column Groups section (with 3 column groups underneath that column group umbrella), and it pulls in 4 fields Offense, Defense, Both, and NULL values. So the headers for those sections when I preview the report show up as Offense, Defense, Both and then where NULL should be...it's just a blank section.
My goal is to replace the blank section with text that says No Value or something along those lines, just not be blank.
How do I format the SSRS Expression for that box to do so?
Try using =IIF(IsNothing(Fields!RootCause.Value),"No Value",Fields!RootCause.Value) as your expression.

InfoPath 2013 unable to change table to repeating table

I'm trying to create a table with a repeating row in InfoPath 2013 (editing a Sharepoint 2013 custom list in case that matters). I'm unable to post a screenshot of the table to show you, but it is a 2-row, 2-column table with text in the first row, a Date/Time field in the 1st column of the 2nd row, and a text field in the 2nd column.
When trying to create this repeating table, I'm getting a prompt that says "InfoPath cannot automatically create a field or group in the section containing this control. To set the binding, select a field or group in which to store the control's data:" (I would post a screenshot of this too, but reputation is too low)
Any ideas as to why this is happening? I'm having trouble finding out exactly how repeating controls work in InfoPath and how to create them.

SSAS Dimension Security Result in Excel Slicer

I have created a role in my Analysis Services cube (SQL Server 2012) and applied a dimension security so that only one of the dimension attribute's member is selected. When I use the cube in Excel 2013 with a slicer for that particular dimension attribute against a pivot table, i get to see only one item, which is exactly what i require. However, when I click on the slicer item, the values of the pivot table do not change, it shows the total values instead of values filtered for that specific dimension attribute member.
The weird thing is that when I view the numbers by browsing the cube, i get the correct number whereas in excel slicer when I click on the attribute member, it does not change pivot table values.
If I select 2 dimension attribute members to be allowed for the role, the excel slicer works perfectly fine and the pivot table values change when I click on either of the 2 dimension attribute members. I am not sure whether this is a bug in excel or there is something else I need to make sure before achieving the desired functionality?
Thanks.
Have you enabled visual totals? You click that check-box in under Advanced tab in Dimension Data page of role setup (see screenshots in this page: visual totals).
Visual totals make sure the results are recalculated to what ever the security is set to. If VT is not checked in, then AS shows you total value for the dimension, without security applied to it. It would not show any cousins etc, only the descendants of the member which security is applied on. It basically 'secures' the details, but not totals...

Filter First drop down in SPService CASCADING dropdown

I am working on the Cascading Dropdowns for the Sharepoint.
I am able to implement this without any issue.
Now my problem is How to filter the First dropwdown Fill value using caml query.
E.g. I have list of projects and tasknames according to the Projects.
Projects is my first dropdown and according to the selection i am filling the second Task name dropdown.
Now I want only those projects to be filled in First Dropdown which are active right now (Activew =Yes boolean column in list). How to do that ?
I have solved this problem my own
For this I have to Use the Filtered LookUp column from SPServices.codeplex.com.
After adding this wsp in your Application you are able to create a Column as a Filtered lookup.
To Fulfill my desired result (Filter first Dropdown). I will Create one View in my List which will get only active projects from the list which i will bind to the first dropdown.
