I have following query:
AppMetrics | where Name=="ReportImported"| summarize Value=count()
I would like to show the value in a dashboard, and it looks like this:
Is there anyway to only display the number and not having it displayed as a list with a Value column?
You can use an Azure Monitor Workbooks to achieve this.
From your Azure Portal, go to Monitor and look for Workbooks on the left pane. Then click New to create a new Workbook, followed by the Add query button.
At this point you can already paste your query in the query console window. Select your Log Analytics Workspace and make sure to run the query to validate it works. Under the Visualization drop-down, choose Tiles and a new Tiles settings will appear on the right. Click on that to bring up the settings page.
Here the only thing I configured was the Left Tile field. Set your values accordingly and check the custom formatting box. Click Apply to see the changes reflect. You can explore other features here and then click on Done editing if you're satisfied. Finally, click on Done editing and save your workbook.
Now for the next step, the Workbook needs to be in edit mode again. Edit it and then click on the Pin icon. A pop-up shows up, explaining two options you have for pinning. Look to the right you'll see another 'item-level' pin. Click on that and choose your dashboard.
It should show up in your dashboard with the Workbook name as the title and a number as the only content of the tile.
It might seem a bit complex but that's the only method I found today, after struggling for a solution for a few weeks. Workbooks are very powerful and allow for very rich visualization!
There isn't a suitable tile in the Tile Gallery that can do this straight out of the box. There is a similar open idea on User Voice.
The closest I could get to doing something similar is by using the Workbooks feature in Azure Monitor, that would look like this when pinned to the dashboard:
Here are the steps to create the above visual:
Navigate to your Log Analytics Workspace
Create a new workbook > Add query
Add your log analytics query and run a preview
Configure the Tile settings as follows:
Change the Visualization dropdown to Tiles and then select Tile Settings.
Set the Title and select Left. Change the value for Use column: to Count, and Column Renderer to Big Number.
After saving the query step but before saving the workbook, select the pin option and pin this query step to your Azure dashboard as follows:
With this approach, you can leverage a range of visualization options and features that Azure Monitor Workbooks offer, creating rich visual reports and interactive experiences.
So i have the template layout in the picture attached below. I would like to know how to link the Spin button to able to show month by month when i click on the spin button.
Here is the formula i have so far, everything working fine except for the chart doesn't connect to the spin.
E4 formula : ="Monthly "&E5&" - Audit Sheet Delivery"
data for eat month for LATE row:=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(G3,$A$4:$C$6000,2,FALSE)," ")
Same for On-Time:=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(G3,$A$4:$C$6000,3,FALSE)," ")
Spin button link to cell $E$5
I have created define name for each Month, Late and On-Time and linked it to the chart but it doesn't work.
Please point out what i have to do in this case. Also, please show the code on here due to i am new to this. Thanks
Thanks you all for your help. I did figure out one way to make it work for me. However, i will more than happy to learn new way or a better way to use spin button and scroll button to changing my chart.
Changes data layout table
Using index formula and vlookup (Cell F19, G19,H19) formula included in picture below)
Changes define name formula to pull data from Cell (Cell F19, G19,H19).
Now i can click on my spin button and the chart changing month by month for me.
It is working fine for me. But i love to learn more if anyone can show me a better way to do it. Please include pictures and formula in your answer. It will help me and other easy to follow it. Thanks
How to do anything anything Excel can do, but with VBA code:
Virtually anything you can do manually in Excel (ie, via the ribbons/toolbars) has an equivalent in VBA.
If you are unsure of which VBA method or property to use, you can turn on the macro recorder and manually perform the action. The macro recorder translates your actions into Visual Basic code. After you record your actions, you can modify the code to do exactly what you want.
There are some limitations to recording macros, so if needed, certain actions have to be added after recording, such as conditional branches (eg., IF statements), variables usage loops, error handling, and text selections made with the mouse (however keyboard combinations do record).
Record an action:
For example, if you want to automate the process of saving the file with a new name, but you don't know which property or method to use, you could do this:
On the Developer ribbon, click
Change the default macro name to a name of your choice and click OK to start the recorder.
Hit F12 to open the Save As... dialog and save the file with a new name.
On the Developer ribbon, click
On the Developer ribbon, click Macros.
Select the macro name that you assigned (in Step 2) and click to view the VBA code within.
See the tips & resources at the links below to help get you started with automatizing Excel (and other Office applications) using VBA code.

How to filter a chart
The ability to filter a chart by month is built-in to Excel. After you create a chart, you can change the data series in two ways:
Use chart filters to show or hide data in your chart, or,
Use the Select Data Source dialog box to edit the data in your series or rearrange them on your chart.
Filter data in your chart
Click anywhere in your chart.
Click the Chart Filters button next to the chart.
On the Values tab, check or uncheck the series or categories you want to show or hide.
Click Apply.
If you want to edit or rearrange the data in your series, click Select Data, and then follow steps 2-4 in the next section.
Once you know how to use the filters, you can record a macro while filtering as required, an use the code for buttons or other controls.

Steps
This is broadly similar to yours. Below is just meant to show you how to use dynamic named ranges as chart series sources. If you later decide to specify start and end ranges of months, you could use this same model and have the start and end indexes generate the height argument for Offset thus being able to plot ranges (though they would be aggregate).
Using the same data layout as in your answer.
① Add a forms control spin button, assign its linked cell as K3, then put the font to white so it is not visible. Its values run from 1-12 with increment 1.
② I then create two dynamic ranges:
LATE with formula =OFFSET(Sheet1!$G$4,Sheet1!$K$3-1,0,1,1)
OnTime with formula =OFFSET(Sheet1!$H$4,Sheet1!$K$3-1,0,1,1)
You can add these via name manager (Alt+F3)
Name manager:
③ I then insert a bar chart and add two series which use these dynamic named ranges as their source:
The above is for Late and this is repeated for OnTime. Note that the workbook name goes before the reference to the dynamic range.
④ In J2 I enter the chart title text "Monthly - 5 KPI Delivery" and point the chart title at this with = J2 in formula bar whilst chart title is selected on the chart.
⑤ K2 has the formula =INDEX(F4:F15,K3) and is used to retrieve the Month name from the list of months via Index with row argument the linked cell value from the spin button.
I then edit the chart X axis source with formula =Sheet1!$K$2 so the month name appears on the bottom of the chart.
⑥ Finally, any other chart sprucing you like. I chose to group and lock the chart and spin button together so they will move as a unit and to ensure data point values where shown.
Final result:
In action:
I have a Powerpoint file that has been emailed to me. It has a chart with selectable columns and labels, indicating that it's not just an image. When I try to edit the chart in order to extract the data, I get the message "The linked file is not available. To edit the link, click the File tab. Click the info tab, and then under Related Documents, click Edit Links to Files."
If i click Open Source, it says it can't find it. If I click Break Link, it's no longer editable when right clicking the table.
The data must be in there since it's displaying the values. How can I extract the data?
Generally, what you see on screen is a metafile picture of the linked chart or other content. The data behind it is unavailable if the link's broken or missing. You may be able to get what you want by ungrouping the chart (or better, a copy of it). You'll probably need to ungroup a few times, but you should be able to access the text (as individual, unrelated text boxes).
I have a assignment with statistic. And I have issue on chart. I want to combine many chart to one sheet. let's say I have a three of chart then I want combine it to one page no need to separate 3 file excel. I want to combine to one file of excel. how can I do ?
You can place charts on a regular Excel worksheet and arrange several charts so they print on the same page. You can use the page layout view on the View ribbon to help with sizing and positioning the charts on the page.
This screenshot shows the page layout view with three charts.
I am a beginner to Excel. I am using Excel 2010. I am trying to create an excel spread sheet that has different sections. For example Lets say, my sheet tab is labeled sports. I want the sheet to have different section of sports like basketball, baseball, and football all on the same sheet. In Each section I want to have a like 5 columns with a vertical and or horizontal scroll bar. Is this possible to have?
I believe that you want to go into the View tab on the ribbon, use the "New Window" button to make new windows, and then Arrange those windows.
The data can all be in one sheet or in multiple sheets, but you should be able to view all at the same time, with individual scroll bars.
I would actually strongly recommend storing each sport in it's own separate sheet, because while you can freeze panes separately in each window, you cannot hide columns separately.
I'm not exactly sure what you're aiming for here though.
And when it looks how you want it to, you'll want to save your workspace.
