Getting Power View on Sharepoint to interpret latitude and longitude correctly

After pulling my hair for a few dozen hours I come here with a simple question.
I have a SQL Server 2012 View - joining 3 different tables, one of which contains latitude and longitude in Decimal(9,6) format.
I have a Tabular model using this view which I push to Analysis services and further on to Sharepoint 2013.
However, when I pull the longitude and latitude columns to the corresponding fields in Power View, the data is just placed standardly in the Artic Sea. Now I have tried changing to and from commas and periods as decimal separator but nothing seems to work.
I can get it to work using Power Map and Power View for Excel 2013 but not on Sharepoint.
I have spent a great deal of time on Google searching for answers but nothing seems to adress this issue, despite it being asked before

I too have been frustrated by this behavior. I also have issues with locations in Puerto Rico showing up in Europe using the zip code and/or state. I've found when I use lat/long things look correct which makes resolving this
issue even more pressing for me.
Unfortunately in the SharePoint construct you cannot control how the api interrupts the address like you can in Excel. I think that is why models in excel recognize latitude and longitude without issue but in SharePoint it's a no go. I have
not tried to see if the tabular construct recognizes lat/long.

Power view in SharePoint - Changing the default save location?

Is it possible to change the default location when saving Power view back into SharePoint?
Our users are creating their own power view reports by clicking a power view shared data source in SharePoint document library.
When saving their reports, the default location is always the same location where the data source is. This is described here also:
https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-us/article/Power-View-in-SharePoint-Server-Create-save-and-print-reports-f616575e-02bf-46cd-b94a-b744245ef9d1?CorrelationId=a852221e-b063-4020-a20a-53d8e8fb8b8b&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Quote from the link: "The first time you save the
report, the default location will be the folder where the model is located."
Ok, understood. But is it possible to change this???

Hi again
Ouch! Not the network!
One of the hard learned issues that folks are unaware of until they encounter problems is that Captivate does not do well when a project is stored on a network. It's fine to keep projects there in order to back them up or as a transfer pivot location to allow others to edit, but you never want to open Captivate, click File > Open and browse to a network location to open a project for editing.
Best practice at this point is to keep projects on your local C drive when you make edits.

Power View in Office 365 vs. Power View in SharePoint

Hi all,
I am trying to find the best method to get PowerView reports into Dynamics AX. So far, I've simply created a form as ActiveX and navigated to the link to the excel file, but this is not desirable. I read that it is possible to have them embedded into Role
Centers/Enterprise Portal, but I need to have PowerView in "SharePoint" mode.
What are the differences between SharePoint mode and Office 365? Is there no way to export the PowerViews to PowerPoint or as Menu Items from Office 365?
Also, any information or tips on integrating PowerViews/Power BI with Dynamics AX would be great!
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Power View comes in two different flavors:
1. Power View as an Excel add-in (free with Excel 2013 Professional Plus)
If you have Office 365 with Power BI enabled, you can create visualizations(Charts etc) in Excel using Power View and publish them to a Power BI site which lets you share, view, and interact with reports. At the time of this posting, there is no way
to export a Power View Report (created in Excel) to Power Point.
2. Power View, as a Reporting Services(SSRS) Add-in for SharePoint Server(Enterprise Edition).
If you don't have Office 365(with Power BI), you can still publish Power View reports(created in Excel) to an on-premise SharePoint site.You can definitely
Export a report from Power View in SharePoint to PowerPoint
Integration with Dynamics AX - There are several options for integration and here is one of them.
1. Use Power Query to Discover all the data you need from Dynamics AX (SQL Server database),
Transform and Mashup the data. Create a data model in Power Pivot and then use Power View to create your visualizations and publish them to either an on-premise SharePoint environment or to a Power BI site in Office 365.
I have a Dynamics AX client and they wanted to use Power View. They have a Data Warehouse built on top of their AX database and an SSAS cube (Multidimensional) on top of their Data Warehouse. Since they don't have an Enterprise instance of SharePoint, we
extracted all the data from the Data Warehouse into a Power Pivot model, then used Power View(the Excel add-in) to create the visualizations.
Please take a look at this technet article
Microsoft Dynamics AX integration with Power BI for Office 365
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Power View for Sharepoint 2013 'Feature not available'

Hello All,
We are trying to set up Power view in Sharepoint but every time I click the power button on a report we get the "The
feature: "Power View" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services." error.
Our setup consists of two servers. One is the sharepoint 2013 Enterprise server and the other is our DW server that sits outside of the farm.
The DW Server has Sql 2012 SP1 (Enterprise) and two instances of AS, one in multi-dimensional mode and one with power pivot for SP.
We were able to get power pivot working with Sharepoint without issue but we can't seem to get Power View to work. I've read through some threads but it still doesn't seem clear what I need to do. Someone mentioned that we needed to install Sharepoint
on the DW server but we would like to avoid that if we can due to the current load on the server. Another suggestion was to install the RsSharepoint on the sharepoint server and that would enable power view.
I know there is already an RS Service app, would that needed removed as well?

Only SQL BI and SQL Enterprise have the appropriate edition of Reporting Services to enable PowerView:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.110).aspx#Reporting
You would need to uninstall SSRS using SQL Standard and re-install with BI or Enterprise on the SharePoint server.

How to build high usability navigation for Power View on SharePoint 2013?

I have Power View on SharePoint 2013. I have both SSAS Multidimentional and Tabular model in use.
I have several Report.drlx file in Report libary in SharePoint.
When I click the file, it works fine, but I feel that there are usability problems like:
A) Getting back to SharePoint site is not intuitive. Difficult to find home.
B) Diffucult to move between report to another. Need to return Document library.
What is best practise for displaying several Power View reports on SharePoint?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
Just as you said, we cannot directly navigate to Home page when we view an .rdlx report in SharePoint site. We need click the Arrow to go to the previous page (Document Library), then click “Home” to navigate to Home page. If we want to move from a report
to another report, we should still use the same way. This is by design.
If you want to jump from one report to another report, we can add a hyperlink to a text box in a sheet or view. Personally, I understand your feeling and how frustrated when you find this issue. So, it is my pleasure to help you to reflect your recommendation
to the proper department for their consideration. Please feel free to submit your situation on our product to the following link:

Sharepoint 2013 - How to get Geolocation column's latitude and longitude

Hi,
Can anybody help to get the Geolocation column's latitude and longitude values programitically ?
Regards
Durga

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj656773%28v=office.15%29.aspx
SharePoint 2013 introduces a new field type named Geolocation that enables you to annotate SharePoint lists with location information. For example, you can now make lists "location-aware" and display latitude and longitude coordinates through
Bing Maps. An entry is typically seen as a pushpin on a map view.

What is max size of slicer values in Power View on SharePoint?

I have Power View on SharePoint 2013 and OLAP Cube on SQL Server 2014 solution.
I should have 1000 values in DimCity, but not all are available in slicer.
Why? What is max value?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
According to your description, you have 1000 values in a data field, but some of them are not available in Power View slicer. Right?
In this scenario, as we tested in our local environment, it's not related to the number of values. We tried 2000+ values in a slicer. It can return all the data field values properly. Please check if it has corresponding value for each DimCity. It has
no limitation on max number of values within a slicer.
Reference:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

IPhoto '09 - Adding your own latitude and longitude

It appears that iPhoto 09 does not allow you to add your own Geo location (e.g.: latitude and longitude data). Is this correct?
Are we limited to the list Apple provides?

I downloaded a Exif viewer app to double check to, and it was there the 2nd time I exported and ticked locations, and text and keywords.
I also just downloaded Picasa for MAC, and it doesnt support direct looking at Google Earth on the Mac yet, but the L/L is there in the pic data, but the keywords are not shown, in picasa
So is this the only way to get it out then?
can you make a new album with all your pics in, and then export all at once?
Or can I take it that if I pick the picture direct from the iPhoto library in Finder and copy it , it will have the L/L and keyword data in?
cheers

Calculate distance between Latitude and Longitude

Hi All,
I have one Latitude and Longitude points. I need to calculate distance between them.
Right now we are using HAVERSINE formula but the query takes longer time to complete.
Reference: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html
Please assist on this.
Thanks in advance.

Check this link...
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/202255-calculating-distance-between-two-latitude-longitude-points.html
I never did this before, but gave it a try using the formula mentioned in that link..
Data:
                   Lat                      Long                               R = 6,371 (Radius of earth (approximated))
Origin:        44.844263(B2)      -92.914803(C2)
Destination: 44.822075(B3)     -92.912498(C3)
Formula used:
A: =SIN(ABS(B3-B2)*PI()/180/2)^2+COS(B2*PI()/180)*COS(B3*PI()/180)*SIN(ABS(C3-C2)*PI()/180/2)^2
B: =2*ATAN2(SQRT(1-A),SQRT(A))
C: =R*B                  ---> DISTANCE!!!!
WITH t AS
        (SELECT POWER (
                   SIN (ABS (44.822075 - 44.844263) * ( (22 / 7) / 180 / 2)),
                   2)
                + COS (44.844263 * ( (22 / 7) / 180))
                  * COS (44.822075 * ( (22 / 7) / 180))
                  * POWER (
                       SIN (
                          ABS (-92.912498 - (-92.914803))
                          * ( (22 / 7) / 180 / 2)),
                       2)
                   E2
           FROM DUAL)
SELECT (2 * ATAN2 (SQRT ( (1 - E2)), SQRT (E2))) * 6371
FROM t;
Check if this gives correct values... (I did not verify this properly.. ) And this is faster in my opinion..
Please post your code for better suggestions from volunteers...
Cheers,
Manik.

IPhoto 9.5 using latitude and longitude

I am extremely frustrated with iPhoto's location function. I'm trying to geotag photos using latitude and longitude. iPhoto insists on trying to convert lat/long to an address that is inaccurate. When I try to reposition the pin point in the map it flies all over the place faster than I can control. When I try to delete the location that iPhoto has added, it refuses. When I turned off Automatic place lookup, the program won't allow me to enter address information at all.
(After trying to use iPhoto's location function, I can't help but wonder if anyone at Apple has actually tried using it.)
Is there a secret to getting iPhoto to accept lat/long inputs unaltered? Or should I just use Graphic Converter to geotag photos (which has a beautiful function - center Google Earth on the precise location and Graphic Convert imports the exact lat/long)?

using Lat/long is easy as described in this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2381
You also can use the paste location command if you have another photo in the place you want - copy that photo, select the remaining photos at tha location and paste location
Graphic converter is an option
HouDahGeo is another option that can safely deal directly with the iPhtoo library - http://houdah.com/houdahGeo/

Reading latitude and longitude from EXIF header

I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve the latitude and longitude of an image from it's EXIF header using Java ME code. Nokia Location Tagger provides the capability to record this information, but I'm not sure how to get this information out. I've found libraries for doing this in Java SE (which depend on many standard edition specific classes), but nothing for Java ME.
Edited by: Uberkiff on Mar 19, 2008 3:54 AM

Yeah I downloaded the spec, all 154 pages worth. It's a rather daunting task, but one I'll probably have to do. I'll try and convert one of the existing standard edition ones to Java ME, but I'm not convinced it can be done, because most of the SE implementations, which are ridiculously long already, seem to use a lot of standard edition classes. Was just hoping somebody who knew more about jpg encoding, exif headers and such things could offer an opinion as to whether it can (reasonably) easily be done before I attempt it.

Latitude and Longitude values

Hi,
I am new to Oracle spatials, If I have to store the latitude and logitude coordinates values information in the Oracle Spatial.What format the latitude and logitude coordinates values should be?
Is there any standard latitude and longitude format for Oracle Spatials.
Generally what format I have to get it and what conversion I have to used to store it on SDO_GEOMETRY object.
If you give any examples It would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Vino

Ordinate values are stored as decimal numbers.
For example the longitude value 147 degrees 30 minutes is stored as 147.5.
Also, lat/long data is actually stored in an SDO_GEOMETRY object in longitude,latitude order (not latitude, longitude).
So, a point 147.5 long and -32.5 latitude is stored:
SDO_GEOMETRY(2001,8311,SDO_POINT_TYPE(147.5,-32.5,NULL),NULL,NULL)Hope this helps.

It's Urgent, please help me
Expecting replies...

Yes we were having the performance issues when it is getting locked? in this what i want to know
why it happens suddenly?
or what package this piece of code is calling?
or is there any possiblity of system will degrade the performance like sys user etc...?
where exactly i found the root cause for further analysis?
so that next time onwards if particular objects is locking we come to know why it happens is there any logical false or how do we eliminate this issue last time?
coz in our environment sometimes most of lockings are from the same table?
pls let me know where i have to concentrate for debug and how to troubloshoot and reslove this
sorry for the inconvience.. i m expecting the answer from here. if anybody wants some more info i ll let him know.
as of till now i got some docs i start to read this.

Note: will system/sys degrade the performance ?if so how ?

STEPS TO CONVERT LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES INFORMATION INTO LOCATIONS URGENT

Hi
can anyone give me the sequence of steps about converting GPS information that is latitudes , longitudes into locations..
The problem is i will give input as latitudes and longitudes ,,i should get location ..
i need help regarding
1)which api to be used
2) any maps are required or not

If you are talking about converting lat and long to x and y, there's plenty of information available around the web. If you are talking about mapping this data to addresses you pretty much need to do some service for that like deepspace suggested.

CLLocationManager doesn't detect latitude and longitude

Hi ,
i am facing one problem while using CLLocationManager class to get latitude and longitude. It works fine when device has network(wifi or cellular network). But in some devices when there is no network it fails and "didFailWithError" delegate gets called. Here is the observation :
iPhone 4 : Works fine with or without network(wifi or cellular network)
iPhone 3gs : Works only when there is network(wifi or cellular network)
I came to know that iPhone uses AGPS, does it mean that it always require network . If so how it worked in iPhone 4. Please suggest me what is going wrong here ?

I tried many times in different scenarios(with no network) but 3GS only first time it gave the location then failed but in iPhone 4 after "Failed" delegate call also it was giving location values continuously.
Here is the sample code :
    CLLocationManager *locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
          [locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation];
    locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
          [locationManager setDelegate:self];
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
