I'm creating my first PowerBI report, analysing staff absence data. The data contains a field of 'Absence Type', which categorises the type of absence the each record refers to.
I would like my users to be able to view my report both with and without the Absence Type of 'Pandemic'. I can hard-filter this on all pages by Excluding it but that gives the users no control.
I thought about using a slicer with a new custom column but I think that would be too confusing. If the column put a 'Yes' or 'No' as to whether the Absence Type was 'Pandemic', that would allow users to view the data without 'Pandemic' entries or just the 'Pandemic' entiries, but give no combined option. Even with a multiselect slicer they could easily deselect everything and see no results at all.
Ideally what I need is either an 'Include Pandemic?' slider where they can choose Yes or No (with Yes being everything and No being everything minus Pandemic records) or a button they can click to toggle the Pandemic records in or out of the visuals.
Apologies if this is has an obvious answer, I'm pioneering PowerBI for my organisation so don't really have anyone to ask here!
There's a way to do this, but it's a bit painful. So you'll want to consider just putting a slicer on AbsenseType and letting the user figure it out.
The extensibility point you can use here is Buttons and Bookmarks.
You can create two buttons, each associated with a Bookmark. Each bookmark can activate set of filters, so one can exclude pandemic AbsenseType and the other can include it. Bookmarks can also toggle the visibility of visuals (see eg here). So when the "ExcludePandemic" bookmark is active, the appropriate filter is active, and the "Include Pandemic" button is visible. When the "IncludePandemic" bookmark is active, the "Exclude Pandemic" button is visible.
In my opinion, the best solution would be tocreate a custom column that will have 2 values:
Pandemic - if the type is Pandemic
Non Pandemic - if the type is different than pandemic
You would then use this new column + Absence Type as a hierarchical slicer.
This would give the user the abilty to pick and choose between:
Select all (If the user deselects everything a select all will also be applied)
Non pandemic only
Pandemic only
Any one or more absence type

We have a requirement where we need to combine two separate fields into one in the salesforce object and then removed those separate fields from the page layout but when the edit option is enabled in the salesforce portal to edit the object the eliminated fields should be there for edit. If further clarification is required, I can also do that

I have tried the formula custom field type where I have to write a formula of concatenating the two fields like this given below:Text(Rent_Start_Date_Actual__c) & ","& Text(Rent_Start_Date_Type__c). I have also removed these two separate fields from salesforce page layout but it also gets removed when object window is in edit mode and we do not want that.
Rather than potentially messing with the edit page, have you considered using a simple screen Flow and an action to achieve this? For example, an action to 'Edit Rent Details' added to the page header, and then when clicked it presents the individual fields on a screen flow for editing? Once saved, the page would refresh and update the formula field as required.
I have an ag-grid (free reactjs version) with lots of columns and records to load.
Some columns are not necessary, so the user can drag the columns out of the grid (and hence hide them). This is fine but how can the user show the hidden columns again without refreshing the page?
I don't want to suppress column drag, just a way to undo the hide without refreshing.
Any advice?
Shameless plug: The enterprise version has this feature in two places, Tool Panel and Column Menu.
However, thankfully it is rather easy to implement this feature yourself using a single columnApi call, well... one of these:
resetColumnState()
This will reset the state of the columns to what you initially defined them as. It will basically make everything visible again
setColumnVisible(colKey, visible)
Just pass in the colId of the column (usually what you passed in as 'field'... but it could be different depending on your set up) and a truthy or falsey value and this will show/hide the column
setColumnsVisible(<Array> colKeys, visible)
note the s - other than that it is the same as before, but you provide an array of colKeys that you want to all be hidden or shown. If you wanted to provide an array of all your columns with another array of whether they should be shown or not then use the last option here setColumnState
setColumnState(<Array> columnState)
This is probably overkill for what you are trying to do, but this will allow you to set the state of all the columns, whether they are visible or not, pinned to different sides, fixing the widths, etc.
Basically I can see you doing one of two things:
Create a button that will make all the columns visible and call gridOptions.columnApi.resetColumnState() when it is clicked
-- OR --
Create a list of check boxes that will listen for a change and call one of the other functions. This list could be outside of your grid, or even inside of your grid in a Custom Filter Component (find the athlete column of the first example to see what I mean.)
I want to list my content categorically within view. The problem is that I want all of it to be filtered through exposed filters.
Here is what Content Type looks like:-
Content Type (MyContent)
Title
Body
Category (it has three categories in it "Category1, Category2 and Category 3". User has to selects one when entering the content)
Now I created a view which lists all of the content linearly (like a normal list) and I have exposed filters on top, which filter the content, but now I am not sure how to proceed when I have to show the content as:-
Any Idea what I should do to achieve this? What should I do in this scenario?
I'll be grateful to you valuable assistance.
Best.
You can group your results together. Under the Format option in views next to your format type (unformatted list, etc...) click on Settings.
In this menu you'll see "Grouping field" this will allow you to specify on which fields your results should be grouped. The field needs to already be included in your display.
Once you enable this you'll probably notice that that field is now displayed twice. You can just go into that field and check "Exclude from Display"
I have a content type called 'company' with an entity reference field called 'company_managers' referencing users who will be allowed to add and edit other content types relating to this company.
The company node is displayed using panels. What I am struggling with is to create a visibility rule which will only show a panel-pane if the logged in user is referenced in the entity field 'company_managers' this will allow me to show panel panes specific to users in the 'company_managers' field.
So the psudo logic for the visibility rule would be:
Check if logged in user is contained in 'company_managers'
If yes show panel-pane
if no
dont show pane.
This seems such a simple use case that i dont want to create custom code it must be achievable 'out the box' I just cant seem to get to the answer. So after two days of researching am asking for help.
NOTE: have spoofed this behavior using the visibility rule content manager and manually selecting a user on this site. All I would need is to put in the logged in user but I dont think you can put in dynamic variables or tokens.
Help much appreciated.
Based on a filter we use (show my objects / show objects of all), we would like an optional column to show/hide (if "all objects" is chosen, it should have an additional column indicating what account it belongs to...)
I know we can add the filter, and it is passed along to the data method so I can retrieve the data from the server there, but can we force a column refresh on the grid somehow?
Thanks very much for your assistance and feedback!
Columns are currently set only once, on initialization. There are a couple of related feature requests on UserVoice, where you can vote and participate in the discussion:
