Is there any way to remove the "--" (No Value) in the cross table. Instead of "---" I am trying to make it as blank? I am using a aggregation function. Appreciate your thoughts.
If you are on Spotfire version 7.7+, you can configure what is displayed in the cross table for empty values via Tools > Options > Cross Table > Display cells with no data as: and put and empty string. Ref: Spotfire forum.
TIBCO has an enhancement request for this, but it's not high priority.
unfortunately there's no workaround other than inserting data into your data source that will evaluate to 0 instead of NULL.

I can't figure out how to do a very simple update of a column value in Power Automate in SharePoint online. I've seen examples of how to update an item on another list, but nothing that updates a value on the same item that was just added and triggered the workflow. Can anybody give me an example and maybe a very brief explanation?
I want to multiply the values of two columns and add it to a third column on the same item which will be blank. I used the formula to update the column I want using values from other columns. =[Dollar Amount]*[% Chance] but it says invalid syntax. There seems to be nothing intuitive in this new power automation and it's a horrible failure compared to how easy it used to be. MS is always making these mistakes.
The first method, you could use a calculated column.
=[% Chance]*[Dollar Amount]
Second method，use Flow.
Test result:
It's Power Automate, not power automation. Details matter.
First, try to set the column value when you create the item. Then you won't have to edit it. If you already know the values for [Dollar amount] and [% Chance] (Chance, really? Or Change?), then you can use these to generate the value before you create the item. You can do that in a variable or with a Compose action. Then create the item and refer to the variable or the Output of the compose action.
If this is not an option, you can use the Edit Item action and get the ID for the item from the action above that you used to create the item.
You say "MS is always making these mistakes." - It's more likely that the problem is a mismatch of data types, e.g. using text fields in calculations, or typos, or wrong syntax. That's not a mistake made by MS. Again, details matter.
Edit after comments: If the workflow is triggered by an item getting created, then you can use an Edit Item action and refer to the ID from the trigger item.
I have an information link that I want to restrict in spotfire when I add it as a data table so that certain data is excluded. I want to restrict column 'DAY' to the past 91 days.
These are the steps I have tried that haven't worked:
Added data table and clicked 'load on demand' (in the 'Add Data Tables' window) and then 'settings'
On the 'DAY' column, clicked 'Define Input'
Chose 'Range(fixed/properties/expression)' as the 'Input' for the selected parameter
Then as the 'expression' for the 'Min', used: DateAdd('dd',-91,DateTimeNow())
It returns an error when I try to add a transformation to the data or just returns no data when I add the data table. If I just restrict the data with a fixed value it works as expected but clearly this would mean that I would need to change the restriction everyday. I have also been able to restrict the data to a static date directly on the information link under the 'Filters' heading. What I really need is a dynamic restriction that is placed on in some way, in Spotfire, rather than directly on the data source (Oracle).
Would be grateful for any help! Thanks!
It couldn't recognize DateTimeNow(), which is a DateTime as a Date. Spotfire gets kind of picky about that sort of thing.
Replace the Expression used for Min with
DateAdd("dd",-91,Date(DateTimeNow()))
and it should work.
I'm looking into using RedQueryBuilder for a web-based query builder. I want my users to be able to specify what data they want to retrieve in the select clause, but the demo site
only shows selecting a single table, rendering all the columns of that table in the result. Does RedQueryBuilder support building out a more robust select clause, like specifying which specific columns to retrieve including those joined from other tables?
I'm afraid not. The project just concentrates on defining a query to return rows not what to show in those rows.
The onTableChange callback would feed you the list of tables in the expression so could go from that to a list of available columns...
Would you want/need to alter the SQL query generated or just the display of the results?
Personally I'd be interested in changing the demo into a more useful query too although the scope of that could be huge.
In my list i have created calculated field to get the difference between the last modified date and today's date.
I use the formula
=datedif([modified],[today],"d")
It is throwing an error : The formula contains reference(s) to field(s).
Please advise.
I do not have a separate column to hold today's date.
Regretfully, you cannot use [Today] for calculated fields. Calculated fields only update when an item is modified, so the Today Trick of creating a column named Today, setting your calculated field, then deleting that column, is a bad move.
You have a couple options, the best of which is probably to use JavaScript within a Content Editor Web Part on the page to do the calculation for you. You could also try using SharePoint designer and custom XPath and xslt to get "days since modified" to appear on your page.
Generally, if you want something to identify items that haven't been modified in a while, it should be done with filter library views: they can use [Today], and they don't require tricks or workarounds.
I have an infopath form based on a sharepoint list (worktracker).
In that form there is a repeating section which holds data from a secondary source which is the worktracker list again.
I would like to filter that table using the value in a field on the form - this enables me to run a check on duplicate items on the list by using a calculated checking reference.
I have done this by using conditional formatting to hide the non-matching items but that this killing my form as IE throws tantrum as it takes too long.
Does anyone know another way to do this? I am stuck using IE8 - not my choice!
UPDATE:
So since posting the above, I had since tried using a REST connection which doesn't work as my list is too big. I have also tried using an XML connection to a filtered view and that didn't work either!
Cheers,
In the form, select the value field. Create a rule that sets the secondary data source's query field of the same name to that value. Then query the secondary data source. It will only return the items where the value matches.
