Bug in excel 2012/pivot/summation of calculated field

I have a calculated field (called TO) in a pivot
= if(time >= 600,1,0)
where time is a field.
I present it in 'values' with 'sum'. It shows correct values, but the sub-totals are wrong. I can send an example if you tell me where to...

It's not a bug, it's a consequence of the way calculated fields work. You should read your formula as
=IF([subtotal of time in pivot table]>=600,1,0)
To calculate what you want, add a column with formulas to the source data of the pivot table.

DAX Dynamic Banding | Calculated Member based on Calculated Field

Good morning,
I've created a Power Pivot model that measures the blood glucose levels of clinical patients at specific times of the day. The requirement is that this metric, let's call it GlucoseLevel, is always averaged as it wouldn't make sense to sum up the values.
To meet this first requirement, I set the "Summarize By" property of the GlucoseLevel column to "Average".
The second requirement is to band the GlucoseLevel values so that groups of people can be measured by this band rather than by the individual measure values. I created a banding table in Excel and then imported it into the Power Pivot model. The banding table
has three columns (BandName, MinValue and MaxValue) and has the following values:
VERYLOW: Min Value = 0; Max Value = 3.99
OK: Min Value = 4; Max Value = 6.99
WARNING: Min Value = 7; Max Value = 10.99CRITICAL: Min Value = 11; Max Value = 30.00
It is at this point where I face my challenge. I have a GlucoseLevel measure and I have a banding table. Great. The challenge is: How do I create a calculated, dynamic
member that will look at my GlucoseLevel measure (at whatever level), do a lookup to my banding table, and then return the "BandName" column from the Banding table at that specific level? So to clarify what I mean by level: I want to be able
to view the bandings at Year level, or a Month level, or even at a week level. Then depending on what level I am at, my measure should have a Band associated to it.
I've tried to solve this issue in a couple of ways:
Attempt 1
Create a calculated column in my fact table that contains a nested IF statement to manually band my GlucoseLevel values. This works fine if I view my data at the lowest level of granularity, however
it does not work if I start looking at my data at the day, week, month etc. levels
Attempt 2
1.) Create a calculated field (not a calculated column) that averages my GlucoseLevel measure. This is cool because it will average my measure at whatever level I am viewing it at. Let's call
this field Bob...
2.) Band my measure Bob by creating another calculated field (called PatientBand). This field uses my banding table (described earlier) in conjunction with my calculated field Bob. This works perfectly, except for one big flaw: Excel sees this banding field
as a measure, and not as something that I can use as a column / row...
So my question is: Can I trick Excel into viewing my PatientBand calculated field as an attribute, and not as a measure? And if not, how do I get around this challenge? Here is the DAX formula that I used to create my second calculated field "PatientBand":
PatientBand:=CALCULATE(
VALUES (Bandings[BandName]);
FILTER (
Bandings;
Test[Bob] >= Bandings[MinValue]
&& Test[Bob] <= Bandings[MaxValue]
Thanks!

So there are 2 ways that I can think of for doing that.
1) if you are only using MDX clients like Excel or Reporting services you can create a text based measure that returns the banding name. (Note that this sort of approach does not work at the moment with PowerView as it only displays numeric measures). This
would effectively let you show a label next to a reading as opposed to moving the reading under a given banding column.
Banding Name :=
CALCULATE (
VALUES ( Bands[BandName] ),
FILTER (
Bands,
[Average of GlucoseReading] >= Bands[BandMin]
&& [Average of GlucoseReading] <= Bands[BandMax]
&& NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Average of GlucoseReading] ) )
2) This next approach will show the results exactly as you had them in your sample screenshots. It just takes a slight bending of the DAX. I'm using a SUMX here, not because I want to sum anything, but because the "X" version of SUMX basically loops over
every row in the specified table and sums the expression in the second parameter. I have setup the second parameter so that it only returns a single value for the average if it is in the appropriate banding.
Banded Average:=IF (
HASONEVALUE ( Bands[BandName] ),
SUMX(
'Bands',
IF (
NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Average of GlucoseReading] ) )
&& [Average of GlucoseReading] >= MIN ( Bands[BandMin] )
&& [Average of GlucoseReading] <= MIN ( Bands[BandMax] ),
AVERAGE(Readings[GlucoseReading]),
BLANK()
,AVERAGE(Readings[GlucoseReading])

it was able to work fine however my issue is when i extract the information to excel and use a pivot table the table is not able to calulate the sum of the value for this field. Can you please help me with this. this is for an Attendance traker for Night

Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for Master Data Services - Bugs ???

Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for Master Data Services 32bit or 64bit
1.
My entity A has 50,000 records.
Entity B has a domain attribute "City" from entity A.
I successfully add new records to the entity B, but after refresh I cannot see any data in the domain attribute "City" for new records (empty cels)!!! Although in the Web client (or through SSMS in table) I can see the data in "City"
attribute (e.g. code_095 {Moscow}).
If I reduce the number of records in the entity A to 20 000, then I see code_095 {Moscow} in Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for MDS.
Bug???
2.
Why Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for MDS resets the format cells ??? Bug???
3.
I have created rows for my own headings (business captions) above the MDS-table in the Excel-worksheet.
Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for MDS: Why after applying the filter (query from server) Excel-worksheet completely recreated ?
And all my row headers have been removed!!! What the hell ?

It would be better if you can provide us with more information for this issue....
In PivotTable reports, you can use summary functions or customer calculations in value field. You can also create your own formulas in calculated fields and calculated items.

;Thank you,

Hi,
So you know how to compute iptv for an individual row; the problem now is that you want to get a running total of iptv; is that it?
The problem there is that computing iptv requires an analytic function, and analytic functions can't be nested. To get the results of nesting f (g (x)), where f and g are analytic funtions, you have to compute g in a sub-query, and then use the results as the argument to f in a super-query.
Here's how to apply that to your situation:

You asked for NULLS in the may11_rep, may11_bld and may11_iptv columns. You can get those results if you need them; just explain the rules that govern whether to display the values and when to display NULL.
The way you posted the sample data and results, and the quantity of sample data were all excellent; it really helped me find a solution. Thanks.
It would have also helped it you had explained how iptv is computed. Basically, iptv = 1000 * rep / tbld, right?
It looks like most of this code:
,      DECODE(NVL ( SUM (may11_bld)
                  OVER (ORDER BY dis DESC)
                ,                 0),0,0,ROUND(NVL(may11_rep, 0)*1000/ NVL ( SUM (may11_bld)
                  OVER (ORDER BY dis DESC)
                ,                 0),2
                ))        AS may11_iptvwas a way of avoiding divide by 0 errors; it would have been helpful if you had explained that.

Bug in Excel's handling of metadata? Or at least a deviation from the Open Office XML specification?

I've discovered some very strange behaviour in Excel which seems to be contrary to that documented in the Open Office XML specification (OOXML). I couldn't find a way to report bugs against Excel, so I thought I'd try to explain the issue here.
In short it seems that Excel is removing, and incorrectly re-indexing the metadata I programatically associate with cells.
First, a summary of the relevant parts of the specification:
From OOXML 18.9: There are two types of metadata: "cell metadata" and "value metadata".
Cell metadata follows the cell as it moves. Value metadata follows the value through formulae etc.
From OOXML 18.3.1.4: The c (cell) element has cm and vm attributes which are both documented as "The zero-based index of the [cell|value] metadata...in the Metadata Part"
From OOXML 18.9.17: The valueMetadata is "a collection of block element that each define the value metadata for a particular cell". "Cells in the workbook index into this collection".
The valueMetadata contains bk elements which in turn contain rc (metadata record) elements
From OOXML 18.9.15: rc elements have t (type index) and v (value index) attributes. t is a 1-based index into metadataTypes and v is a 0-based index into the futureMetadata element which matches the name of the metadata type.
Here's an example of what this might look like:
<c vm="0"> 
<x:valueMetadata>
<x:bk>
<x:rc t="1" v="0" /> 
</x:bk>
</x:valueMetadata>
<x:metadataTypes>
<x:metadataType name="MyMetaType" ... /> 
</x:metadataTypes>
<x:futureMetadata name="MyMetaType" ...>
<x:bk>
<x:extLst>
<x:ext xmlns:x="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" uri="http://example.com/extension" p5:value="test value" xmlns:p5="http://example.com/extension" />
</x:extLst>
</x:bk>
</x:futureMetadata>
The Problem
From what I can tell, for values of n > 2, if you associate n cells with metadata, Excel will drop the last piece of metadata, and the one at index 1, and it will do so silently. The indices are then 0..n-3, and the association for all but the first (0
index) will be wrong. This renders the future metadata totally useless.
For n == 1, Excel just removes the last piece of metadata (index 1). If we try 1-based indexes for the vm attribute on the c element, we get different behaviour. This may not be relevant as it is contrary to the specification, but the slightly better behaviour
might indicate an off-by-one error:
n
Deleted Indices (0-based) when using 0-based indices
Deleted Indices (0-based) when using 1-based indices
1
0
None
2
1
1
3
1,2
1
4
1,3
1
5
1,4
1
6
1,5
1
Demonstrating the Problem
I have some example code[1] that demonstrates the problem. You will need a file called test.xlsx with cells A1..C2 populated.
Compile the source as AddMetadata.exe then run with the test file as the only parameter:
> AddMetadata.exe test.xlsx
You can look at test.xlsx in Excel, Visual Studio (with the Open XML Package Editor Power Tool for Visual Studio 2010) or the Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool for Microsoft Office. Looking at the file before and after running AddMetadata.exe you should
be able to reproduce the behaviour documented above.
Summary
It would be good to know if this is really an Excel bug or whether we're doing something wrong / unsupported. Any insight would be very much appreciated.

If you create a metadatatype with a single metdata block, and you reference that in your vm/cm cell attribute using a *one* based index, Excel seems to see the link and it honors it when saving the spreadsheet.
So, I ended up with something like:
<c ... cm="1"/> (I'm dealing with cell metadata, but the concept is equivalente to value metadata)
<metadataTypes count="1">
  <metadataType name="MyMetaType" .../>
</metadataTypes>
<futureMetadata count="1" name="MyMetaType">
  <bk>
    <extLst><ext
uri="http://example" xmlns:x="http://example"><x:val>87</x:val></ext></extLst>
  </bk>
</futureMetadata>
<cellMetadata count="1">
  <bk><rc
t="1" v="0"/></bk> 
</cellMetadata>
Hope this helps.

Calculated Field is Disable while using PowerPivot to access multiple sheet column in a single pivot,

Hi,
I am trying to add a calculated field in my power pivot table to show the percentage on the basis of 2 columns, please let me know why this is not appearing and how can i fix it.
Any other way if i can add a calculated field in the pivot table will be very helpful.
Thanks
Aman

Thanks KR for the response,
Yes I loaded multiple tables in the data model and using PoewrPivot ,
i have a rating column, in that i have 0,1,2,3,4,5 rating numbers and we call it "Total expected occurrence",
a single person can get same rating multiple times, if a person is getting >=4 rating no. we call it "Occurrence >= 4". now i have to find out the total
count of "Occurrence >=4" for a particular person from "Total expected occurrence" column,
once will get the net "Occurrence >=4" for everyone, it should divide
"Occurrence >=4"/ "Total expected occurrence" to take out the percentage of rating 4 for a particular person
Best Wishes,
Aman verma

Export excel to Pivot table issue

Hello Folks,
Our Business user has a problem with the exporting to excel as Pivot table. Now, the user is trying to do, List - Export - Spreadsheet, and she is getting "Save XXL list object in SAPoffice". How can we get the option to save in "Excel in XXL format" to get to the Pivot table..
Thank You.

hi,
check out this [LINK|http://sample-code-abap.blogspot.com/2009/05/reset-alv-export-option-for-user.html]
the report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN is used to reset this setting. It's easy, run the report, select and delete the record for the specific user from report output and that user will get the dialog again.

Application uninstall bug of SCCM 2012 R2 with Cu2?

I install SCCM 2012 R2, then Update to CU1, last moth I had updated to CU2
I create two deployment type for winzip application.
It is 'available' and not 'required'.
Use script installer, it contains mst file. the script is vbs
One is for x64, the other is for x86. all of them contains uninstall program(msiexec /x {code} /q)
Install is ok
But the uninstall button is grayed out.
When I delete x86 deployment type then can uninstall this application
It seem if it has more than one of deployment type, the uninstall button is grayed out
I saw CU1 had fixed this bug, but why I met it again? It is new bug of SCCM 2012 R2 CU2?
I find R2 CU1 and R2 CU2 client update package in SCCM.
Do I need to deploy them to all PC?
If I use sccm OSD to install OS(Use default Configuration Manager Client Package）, If I need to update Client in this client？

Thanks, Narcoticoo & Torsten
I also do the test, it is because I didn't push the update to client, I have some new questions about Update CU

Uable to do Excel native Pivots with SmartView

Hi,
I am running:
Win7 64bit.
Office 2010 32 bit.
I am trying out the new functions of SmartView in 11.1.1.7. I have tried this on both a VM of V303 as well as two of Oracle's Internal servers running 1117.
I can only get SmartView to function partially as I am unable to do Excel Native Pivots using SmartView. In addition to that I cannot get the "Mask Data" button to work either.
What I am trying to do is described in this link.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37647_01/en/smartview/user/frameset.htm?ch15s05s02.html
I have tried to reinstall SmartView. I have fully enabled all macro use. I have put the SmartView folder as "trusted" in Excel options.
Have anybody tried anything similar?
Any suggestions?
/Mikke

Bump...noone have tried anything like this???

Calculated Field formula not appearing in Power View Field List panel

Hi,
On Power View1 sheet of this
workbook, the two PowerPivot calculated Field formulas (First Visit and First date of FY) are not appearing in the Power View Fields panel on the right hand side.
I want to drag client and First Visit (calculated Field) to the Power View.
Why is this happening?
Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com

I found a workaround for it - I was having the same problem as you. I wanted to display the last refresh date of my data, but Power View wouldn't display a date resulting from the [Last Refresh]=MAX(Date[Date]) formula.
HOWEVER, a Pivot Table can handle that Calculated field just fine. So I renamed my measure "Refreshed Date" and added another tab in the Excel Sheet. I added a Pivot Table from PowerPivot into cell A1 and the only thing I put was that single
measure (A2). To the right of that, I did =A2 and created an Excel Data Table. The title of that was "Last Refresh". Now, I could add that Data Table to the PowerPivot Model and into Power View. And then I hid that tab.
The only downside to this method, is that if you're refreshing single tables at a time, you have to remember to refresh the Pivot Table when new data is added AND update the data in the model. I'm only connecting to one database, so I just choose
"Refresh All" in Excel and it updates everything. It works perfectly! :)
Well shoot, I even took a screenshot that helped explain everything, but it won't let me post it because my account isn't verified and it won't tell me how. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll clarify!

Problem with Math In Calculated Fields

I am calculating a group incident rate for data returned from
a query. The formula is Number of cases multiplied by 200000
divided by number of hours worked. Cases in my report is the
calculated field: calc.CaseSum (the sum of cases for the group)
Hours is calc.SumHours (the sum of hours for the group). The actual
values for these variables (for the first group are 48 and 29427171
respectively. When I create the following calculated field called
rate using the formula: (calc.CaseSum * 200000) / calc.SumHours,
Cold Fusion Generates a Runtime Error:
Invalid ColdFusion expression in report. If the expression is
a string, ensure that it is within quotes. Error: (calc.CaseSum *
200000) / calc.SumHours is not a valid ColdFusion expression.
If I use the constant value "29427171" as the divisor, the
report works albeit only for the first group. Any ideas; is this a
bug, or am I misusing the product?
Addition: I forgot to mention I am using CF8. Also this
formula worked fine as a Report Total before I introduced grouping
and modified the calculated fields to reset on the change of a
group.

Sorry, I've been on another project for awhile. This problem
will certainly be a "show stopper" for me if I cannot resolve it.
As I mentioned in my original post, I used a constant in the
formula in lieu of the variable and the calculation worked. This
would suggest that CF does not have a problem with a large number.
In spite of that reasoning, I tried Tony's suggested (thanks
by the way!) with the identical outcome, only difference is the new
formula is displayed in the error message.
Tony, you also suggested that I set the variables using
CFSET... How would I do this within the report writer environment.
I had tried a similar approach: to perform half the calculation
i.e. that within the parenthesis, and assign that value to a
separate "calculated field: and then perform the rest of the
calculation on that variable with the same outcome.
I think that I may be dealing with a CF bug here, I'd like to
find a workaround... I've noticed that CF8 has a new patch, perhaps
after I apply it, I may be able to get this thing to work. I'm on
another project right now so it will be a few days before I can
test this theory, I report the result.
Should this fail, and no one can come up with a workaround, I
will report this to Adobe.
