How to change user created power pivot table names

Hi All,
First I created a excel table in a new worksheet . Then I add it to the model using power pivot tab option " add to data model". this is now added to my power pivot model. I change name both in excel and also in power pivot model. however when
I see the table in Pivot Data Fields option I can only see it as "table1". Is there any way to change the table name so users can easily identify it?
Thanks
Sonny

I find that changing the name of my tables in Excel before importing them into PowerPivot is the best way to go.

Power Query; How do I reference a Power Pivot table from a Power Query query

Hi,
It's pretty awesome how you can define Extract Transform and Load processes within Power Query without having to type in a single line of code. However how do I reference a Power Pivot table from a Power Query query to avoid me repeatedly accessing
the same data source (CSV) file with a view to increasing performance?
We are aware of the reference sub menu option with Power Query. However the new query created by the "reference" option still seems to refresh data from the data source (CSV) rather than just referencing the base query. Is this understanding
correct? There does seem to be a lot of hard disk activity when re-running the new query which is based on a base query rather than a data source. So we were hoping the new query would just need to reference the base query in memory rather than rescanning
the hard disk. Is there any way to ensure that the reference query just rescans the base query in memory?
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Hi Kieran,
This sounds like something to be suggested for a future release. At the present time, Power Query will always re-run the entire Power Query query when refreshed. The Reference feature is analogous to a SQL view whereby the underlying query is always re-executed
when it's queried, or in this case refreshed. Even something like using the Power Query cache to minimise the amount of data re-read from the disk would be helpful for performance but the cache is only used for the preview data and stored locally.
It would be a good idea to suggest this feature to the Power BI team via the feedback smiley face.

How to change users home directory home folder name?

Is there a way in Mountain Lion to simply change the name of the home directory home folder name without it throwing off anything else for that particular user?
I read the article about 'Enabling and using the "root" user', but it specifically says for 'Lion' and not 'Mountain Lion'
When I get to step 8 there is no clear place to enter an adminstator account name and password so I can't go any further.
I also did a quick test with a newly created user and after setting some preferences and customizing the desktop, I changed the home directory name and I pretty much lost all my preferences after logging back in. It's as if changing the home directory name in any way shape or form literally wipes out the previous user and you have to start anew.
I don't want to risk changing the home directory name and end up losing essentially my whole user setup, but I really want a different name for my home directory and I don't want anything else to change. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi Blastic,
I'm trying to do the same thing. I did follow Apple's instructions and while they are easy to follow.....I was unable to rename the folder as described (clicking on it or pressing enter). I did enable root user, I did log out and re-log in as root user.....and I got stopped. I simply could not rename the folder as per Apple's instructions and ther is NOTHING on the internet about it......save for your beacon of light! Thanks for the post. I'm using 13 inch MacBookPro Mid 2010 2.4 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB ram, OS 10.8

Question on how to create a pivot table

Hi,
I am trying to create a dynamic pivot table (the number of column and row layers change for each request) and I cannot use a data base structure to back it up.
I thought of doing it through a managed bean but in order to do it I need to know how to create the PivotTableModel.
The pivot table model requires a data source object and I do not know how to create it to support multiple row and column layers.
Is there a default data source object that I can extend, or better yet is there a written example on how to create a pivot table model using a managed bean.
Thanks,
Or

Change connection from SQL to SSAS for power pivot table

Hi,
I have created a power pivot table using MDX query from SSAS. I also created multiple pivot table and other complex reports using this power pivot table. Now I should use a different cube which has almost different columns than the old cube. It would be
a hassle now to simply change the query and hence redoing the entire report due to column name changes. I was hoping to use the SQL OPENQUERY using linked server to get data from SSAS using MDX to SQL so that I can alias the column names to old. The problem
now is I cannot change the connection for existing power pivot table to a different provide (sql) from SSAS. Is there anyway I can do this?
Please let me know if there is any other way that would save me from re-doing the entire report.
Thanks

Unfortunately, you can't just repoint the connection currently - you will need to rebuild it. I've run into this myself not too long ago, and the team is aware of the requirement.

How do I create a pivot table in numbers?

How do I create a pivot table in numbers?

SO HERE'S WHAT I GOT TO WORK:
Truth is all the real functionality of categories and pivot tables exists in the formulas. You just have to
Create a new table with a list of the categories in the header column.
Add SUMIFS() formula from the browser into the next column.
Enter your arguments and make sure to check "Preserve Column" for each of them.
Although it might not be apparent, you can enter multiple test value and condition pairs.
While I admit the formulas are not nearly so graphic as categories, they are cleaner and less restricting, and they aren't any more difficult to work with than pivot tables.

Hi Vinay,
As far as I know, it's not possible. We can only change those Pivot Table cells that belong to Row Label or Column Label. But we can't change the Value cells. You'll get some errors like "Cannot change this part of a Pivot Table report".
If you just want to display a report with some changes to the original Pivot Table report, I would recommend that you copy the data from the Pivot Table to another worksheet, then modify the values.

How to block user create personal view and select ALL VIEW?

How to block user create personal view and select ALL VIEW?

Hello,
>create personal view
To restrict creating personal view, you need to modify your existing permission level or create new one. Login with admin account to your site and open role.aspx page (http://siteurl/_layouts/role.aspx). Then click on existing permission or add new permission
level-->and move to "Personal Permissions" section-->uncheck "Manage Personal Views - Create, change, and delete personal views of lists" option. Later you can assign this permission to all users, whom you don't want
to allow to create.
>and select ALL VIEW
Since SP does not supports view level permission directly so you have to use custom solution or use below designer solution to restrict user to open any view.

MODIFY (indicator DEFAULT 'I');
Incidentally, INDICATOR is a keyword in Oracle, so you may have problems using it as a column name. If so, you'll have to enclose the column name in double-quotes, and be careful to use capital letters inside the quotes.
