Power BI : Count Rows Using RowCount Not Working

I have this DAX formula that counts the number of rows using Calculate() function with [RowCount] as the expression and a certain condition as the filter. CountARCurrent = CALCULATE([RowCount], AccountsReceivablesAging[ Current ] > 0 ) This works on most of the report's dataset however when I tried importing a new dataset, the formula above didn't work. The data used in the filter is a floating point number and the datasets involved in this project are imported via Direct Query. After searching the Power BI forums, I found an alternative solution which is to use COUNTROWS() function instead of [RowCount] as the expression. CountARCurrent = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(AccountsReceivablesAging), AccountsReceivablesAging[ Current ] > 0 )

Rounding Off Floating Point Numbers To Integer Using DAX In Power BI

Hi, Just sharing a simple DAX formula to round off floating point numbers to int. AvgDayToPayRnd = Int (ROUND(AccountsReceivablesAging[AvgDayToPay], 0 )) First, you have to use the Round() function passing in the table column as the first parameter and 0 which means no trailing zeroes in the second parameter. Then cast that number to an integer type using the Int() function. Cheers!

BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup In SQL Server

Image
Hi All, While restoring a new database backup which resides from the server in US, I encountered an error which is 'SQL Server error 4214 - BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup' . Glad that I had a skype session with our software architect in the US and presented to him the issue. The solution that worked was when performing the restore of the backup database was to go to the Options of Restore Database dialog and uncheck these two checkboxes 'Take tail-log backup before restore checkbox' and 'Leave source database in the restoring state checkbox' . Then check 'Check Overwrite the existing database (WITH REPLACE)' box. After that, the restore operation succeeded.

To change the open and close folder icons, I found the answer here which is to set the 'open' and 'closed' properties of 'types' plugin. On the 'open_node' and 'close_node' events of the tree, set the data.nodes to 'open' and 'closed' respectively. See sample code below. function InitTreeEmployeesList() { $( '#jstree' ).jstree({ 'core' : { 'multiple' : false , 'themes' : { 'dots' : true , 'icons' : true } }, 'types' : { 'default' : { 'icon' : '../Content/Employee/Images/emp_default.png' }, 'open' : { 'icon' : '../Content/Employee/Images/employee_active.png' }, 'closed' : { 'icon' : '../Content/Employee/Images/emp_default.png' } },
