Using Power Query to import image files for Power View

I am trying to use Power Query to import image data from a SQL Azure database for use in Power View. I've selected both the source image table and the ?images table in the workbook query. The files seem to load as binary data in the Power
Query editor but when loaded to the data model with Power Pivot, the field becomes "text" type rather than binary. Does anyone know the procedure to use PowerQuery to load image files into PowerPivot?

Hi,
We currently do not support loading binary data from Power Query into the Power Pivot data model. This is something we'd like to address soon. For now, you will need to use the Power Pivot import capabilities if you want to achieve this.
Sorry about the inconvenience - we will try to enable this feature over the coming months.

Having alot of trouble with a query

Hey, I'm having trouble with a query for an assignment. The questions states
Find the name of the highest earning employee in each location, excluding managers, salespeople and the president
The problem I'm having is that my query returns the highest earning employee from each location perfectly, but one of those returned is a salesperson, so the next highest earning person in that location should be returned.
We are also not allowed to create a temporary table
Here's my code so far
select
e.first_name,
e.last_name,
e.salary,
l.regional_group
from employee e
inner join department d
on d.department_id = e.department_id
inner join location l
on l.location_id = d.location_id
where e.salary = (select max(e2.salary) from employee e2
inner join department d2
on d2.department_id = e2.department_id
inner join location l2
on l2.location_id = d2.location_id
where l2.location_id = l.location_id
and e.job_id !=672;
the job_id refers to what job title they have
and here's the schema below

Any help you could give me on this would be fantastic as I have been pulling my hair out over this for the last day.

Maybe you can try the below:
with job_location as
select 1 location_id, 'loc1' regional_group from dual
union
select 2 location_id, 'loc2' regional_group from dual
department as
select 1 department_id, 'dept1' dept_name, 1 location_id from dual
union
select 2 department_id, 'dept2' dept_name, 2 location_id from dual
job_FUNCTION as
select 1 job_id, 'MANAGER' job_function from dual
UNION
select 2 job_id, 'SALES' job_function from dual
UNION
select 3 job_id, 'PRESIDENT' job_function from dual
UNION
select 4 job_id, 'REST_1' job_function from dual
UNION
select 5 job_id, 'REST_2' job_function from dual
employee as
select 1 employee_id, 'a' last_name, 100 salary, 1 department_id, 4 JOB_ID from dual union
select 2 employee_id, 'b' last_name, 200 salary,1, 5 from dual union
select 3 employee_id, 'c' last_name, 300 salary,1, 2 from dual union
select 4 employee_id, 'd' last_name, 400 salary,1, 2 from dual union
select 5 employee_id, 'e' last_name, 500 salary,2, 3 from dual union
select 6 employee_id, 'f' last_name, 600 salary,2, 3 from dual union
select 7 employee_id, 'g' last_name, 700 salary,2, 4 from dual union
select 8 employee_id, 'h' last_name, 800 salary,2, 4 from dual
select
regional_group, employee_id, max_salary
from
select e.regional_group, b.department_id, employee_id, salary, max(b.salary) over (partition by b.department_id order by b.department_id) max_salary
from
employee b,

where
b.job_id = c.job_id and

Can I use Power Query to Import a table from Excel sheet range which starts not from the top row?

Hi,
Being an experienced Excel user before Power BI, I am just starting to explore the M and Power Query capabilities, and need help already (ain't easy to google this use case somehow):
I need to import the table which sits in the Excel file with header row in the row 17 of Excel sheet, with some metadata header in the preceding rows of the columns A and B.
01: Report name, Quick Report
02: Report Date, 1/1/2014
17: Employee Name, Manager, etc...
18: John Doe, Matt Beaver, etc.
Both (a) direct attempt to load as Excel file and (b) the indirect way through [From Folder] and formula in custom column -- both lead to the same error: "[DataFormat.Error] External table is not in the expected format."
Specifically, I tried to use the [Power Query -> From File -> From Folder] functionality, select an Excel file and add a custom column to access the binary content: [Add Custom Column] with formula "=Excel.Workbook([Content])".
It looks like Power Query expects a rectangular range with headers full-width followed by a contiguous table range to import anything, and refuses to load if that is not the case...
QUESTION: Is there any way to load whatever-formatted data from Excel first, and then manipulate the overall imported range (like referring to rows starting from 17th using "Table.SelectRows" etc.) to read the actual data? Reading and using
the metadata from header would be a bonus, but that comes second... The main issue is to get something from a non-regular Excel file to later work with using M formulae ...
Thanks!

Finally found the answer to this one in ():
You Cannot Open a Password-Protected Workbook
If the Excel workbook is protected by a password, you
cannot open it for data access, even by supplying the correct password with
your connection settings, unless the workbook file is already open in the
Microsoft Excel application. If you try, you receive the following error
message:
Could not decrypt file.
ANSWER: So, will have either weave in the work with temporary unprotected files or requires opening them before updating the data source (although this almost defeats the purpose of automation...)
ANSWER to ORIGINAL QUESTION: password was preventing Power Query from reading the Excel file. For solution see above.
Thanks anyway for participation and inspiration, Imke!

Issue consuming Odata feed with Power Query (not in Power BI)

I am trying to consume an OData feed from an SSRS report using Power Query ( latest release on Excel
2010 x32). The Report server is in my company intranet.
In the SSRS report, I can generate an Atom service file. When I use this file in PowerPivot, I can successfully import the report data and refresh it on demand. But I
would like to do the same thing in Power Query using the "From OData feed" feature.
1. I have tried supplying the URI to the service file
= OData.Feed("file:///C:/Users/Bdarbonneau/Documents/temp/Manuf_cycle_time_mapping_table.atomsvc")
I get this error :
DataFormat.Error: The supplied URL must be a valid 'http:' or 'https:' URL.
2. I tried supplying the URL that the service file contains, but without success.
= OData.Feed("http://myssrsserver:8080/ReportServer?%2FMANUFACTURING%2FArchive%2FManuf_cycle_time_mapping_table&rs%3ACommand=Render&rs%3AFormat=ATOM&rc%3AItemPath=Tablix1")
I get this error:
DataFormat.Error: OData: The given URL neither points to an OData service or a feed
Am I missing something, or is what I am trying to do not supported ?
Regards,
Bertrand

My Current workaround for pulling data from SSRS until the dev team have worked out the odata issue is to pull the report in as a csv file:
Csv.Document(Web.Contents("http://Servername/ReportServer?/SummaryReport&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=Csv")),
I also tried pulling an excel file from SSRS with no success.
Tried:
Excel.Workbook(URL)
Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents(URL))
Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(URL))
Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(Web.Contents(URL)))
if anyone has had luck pulling in an excel file from SSRS i would like to know how.
Is there a rough release date for the odata functionality?

Connect to Linkedin API with Power Query

Hello
Is there a way to create Power Query queries that connect to Linkedin API permanently (like Power Query does with Facebook)? I know it is possible to access Linkedin API the way Shish Shridar did it, but it is pretty limited and thus frustrating (see his
article entitled "Analyzing LinkedIn Data using PowerBI" on his blog).
I am sorry to ask without more technical details, but I am pretty new to Power query. I guess it has something to do with OAuth2 authentification not being implemented in Power query...
I would be delighted If someone would be kind enough to provide me some insight on this issue !

Thanks for your answer.
What if I create an app to get the required access token etc? I know an excel add-on could be considered as a Twitter app, and thus be able to connect to the website's API (I'm thinking about Analytics for Twitter 2013 for instance) - is there any way to
do the same with Linkedin?
I guess this is far beyond my capacities for now, but any insight would be very much appreciated !
[EDIT]
I did a little more research... I created a Linkedin app and then followed the steps described on the official documentation to enable it to make authenticated API calls to LinkedIn using OAuth 2.0 (I cannot use hyperlink for now, but here is the full link
to the official doc : https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/oauth2)
Maybe some VBA would be able to request an authorization code following this type of URL : https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=MYCLEINTID&state=STATE&redirect_uri=MYREDIRECTURL
- Then the user will be presented with LinkedIn's authentication dialog box. Is VBA able to fill in this login form?
-If it is, then it should get the code displayed in the redirection URL, which looks like :
MYREDIRECTURL?code=THECODETOGETWITHVBA&state=STATE
-If VBA could, then it just has to go to this new URL : https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken?grant_type=authorization_code&code=THECODETOGETWITHVBA&redirect_uri=MYREDIRECTURL&client_id=MYCLIENTID&state=STATE&client_secret=MYCLIENTSECRET
-At this point, the last URL returns the access token, which could then be stored somewhere in Excel and thus used in Power Query (pretty easy to do using a headers like this:
Headers=[#"Authorization"="Bearer Access Token"]])
Hope someone will see this and tell me if it is feasible and likely to succeed.

Lookup column names with Power Query

Hi,
before I go ahead and change source files, I was wondering if I can use Power Query to get a model with the following data. To simplify the example, I have the following dataset in an Excel sheet:
In another Excel sheet, the column names are defined, for example:
What would like to have in Power Query is one table with the column names from the second screenshot in column B. Is there a way to link these two tables together in Power Query in order to use these names as column headers in the dataset?
Thanks!
- If a post answers your question, please click "Mark As Answer" on that post!

You can filter the list of renames against the list of actual column names with something like
FilteredColumns = Table.SelectRows(Columns, each List.Contains(Table.ColumnNames(Source), [Name])),
Again, the working end-to-end:
let
Source = Table.FromRows({{"New York", 23, 51, 732}, {"Chicago", 25, 421, 23}, {"Los Angeles", 632, 22, 423}}, {"City", "Col 1", "Col 2", "Col 3"}),
Columns = Table.FromRows({{"Col 1", "Column 1"}, {"Col 2", "Column 2"}, {"Col 3", "Column 3"}, {"Col 4", "Column 4"}}, {"Name", "Value"}),
FilteredColumns = Table.SelectRows(Columns, each List.Contains(Table.ColumnNames(Source), [Name])),
ColumnsAsRenames = Table.TransformRows(FilteredColumns, Record.FieldValues),
RenamedColumns = Table.RenameColumns(Source, ColumnsAsRenames)
in
RenamedColumns

Problem using Hadoop with Power Query

I'm trying to connect my Power Query with Hadoop data.
I can see a list of my hadoop files but when I click on "Binary"
I have this error message.
Error Details : -
DataSource.Error: HDFS cannot connect to server 'localhost'. Unable to connect to the remote server.
Details:
http://localhost:50070/webhdfs/v1/user/hue/nyse/stock_aggregates...

It looks like WebHDFS isn't configured correctly. The way WebHDFS works is that you first connect to the name node and the name node does an HTTP redirect to the data node to fetch the data from there. From the error message, it looks like the
redirect is happening to "localhost" instead of the name of the machine where the data block is stored.
We're not really able to provide much help with configuring WebHDFS, as it's not software that people on the team use regularly.

Trouble with power to Apple TV

My new ATV consistently loses power after a few mins. Have to unplug and plug it back in. Thought it might be a defective unit, and swapped it out for another; same problem. It's not power source, b/c ATV is on surge protector with other components that aren't having same issue. Any thoughts?

for troubleshooting try connecting it to another power source all the same

Connect to web service oData feed with Power Query

Hi,
after the last update of Machine Learning Studio, I can't connect to the web service through oData feed.

Am I doing something wrong?

Having trouble with join query

Hi,
I have two tables in my database, class and document. They look like this:
Class
Class
classdescription
Document
documentid
class
document.class is a foreign key pointing to class.class. I want to find out how many document there are for each class, so I have the SQL statement:
SELECT class.class, count(class.class) as numDocs, classDescription from class, document where class.class = document.class group by class.class, classDescription order by numDocs DESC
However, if there is a class with no document, I also want it listed with the value 0 for numdocs, however this query doesnt seem to return class which have no documents.
Can anyone provide me with help for this?
Thanks!

Could this be what you wanted?
SELECT   CLASS.CLASS, COUNT (document.documentid) AS numdocs, CLASS.classdescription
    FROM CLASS, document
   WHERE CLASS.CLASS = document.CLASS(+)
GROUP BY CLASS.CLASS, CLASS.classdescription
ORDER BY numdocs DESC;C.

Trouble with simple Query by Example

Hey all, I am well aware that similar topics are all over the forums. I've exhausted myself fishing around for just the right thread.
I am new to APEX. I have this book "Easy Oracle HTML-DB". It is somewhat helpful, but its examples are hard to follow - possibly because the product keeps moving along.
I have a simple single table listing report. I wanted to add some selection criteria and was attempting to do so in a new region on the same page as outlined in this book. I added a few text fields and tied them into the query without issue. To submit the criteria, I added a "Go" button (just like the book says) and tied a "Reset Pagination" process to it.
The book example doesn't specify button branching conditions. Without any though, clicking "Go" causes an error: "ERR-1777: Page XX provided no page to branch to." . So I added a branch back to the same page. Now it appears to be working, but it resets all my selection field values and runs the same report over again.
I think a workaround is simply to put the criteria in a separate page altogether. I'm just about resigned to taking this approach. It sure looks like people do this all the time though. What did I miss ?
Thanks in advance,
Snake

Rene said: "It's also nice to add : onKeyPress="checkEnter(event)"
to the HTML Form Element Attributes of the items in the search region. This way you can also start the search by pressing Enter in the item."
Hi Rene,
I'd like to include the feature, but the action is no different with or without this attribute. When you press enter, it just stays there in the field.
Nice to note though that most every behavior I've checked is the same whether using Firefox or IE. I like browser independence.

Trouble with audio files when imported from audio window

after "bouncing" and audio region and importing it (onto a new track) into the arrange window from the audio window, I can't seem to control any parameters like volume and pan for the imported clip. Is this somehow locked?

sure....say I record a clip in track one with a bunch of plugins....export the clip to the audio region...then import back to the arrange...
First of all it won't let me play the clip in Track 2, but if I shift the clip to track 3 it'll play....BUT I can't control the volume or pan .....very strange. I hate freezing stuff...although I have been for ages....but if this works it'll be cool....
Thanks...
