Power Query: Making a local data source public

If I am using an Excel workbook as my data source for my raw data, can I upload this to a Power BI site and change the Source so that a refresh will work and I can share the query?
FROM: Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users...book.xls")
TO: Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(https://sites.powerbi.com/sharepointpages/...book.xls)

Any suggestions for Mtink?
Thanks!

BOXI3.0: Universe and Local Data Source Selection

Hi all. I am Alias.
I have one question. For the full XI3.0 installation, one of the products is Web Intelligence Rich Client.
In Web Intelligence Rich Client, we can have Data Source Selection which is Universe and Local Data Source. But for Web Intelligence/InfoView, we can only select universe, or maybe canu2026 I need to explore more but still could not find it.
Hope you guys can help me on this matter.
Best regards,

Hi Jacques.
Thanks for the link.
WRC we need to install for every user desktop right? But for Webi/inforview we only install at server.
In term of licensing, how it works?

Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source

Hi All,
I have a Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source. Is there any way to achive it. Other than Resultant set and bring into Model.
Thanks
SS

You can compare stuff in the EL, but I don't think this is what you need.
You can just use Java code in the backing bean class for all the business logic. You can use DAO classes for database access logic. Finally for displaying you can use the JSF tags such as h:outputText.

How to get a EAR package for deploying without local data-source setting in JDev9i?

Hi all,
I want to use pooled data-sources defined in OC4J's global configuration setting directory in JDEV_HOME\j2ee\home\config.
But when I packaged my application to an EAR file,it contains it's local data-sources.xml file in the package.Each time the server was restared,the local data-sources.xml file was overwritten by the originally setting in the EAR package,thus I cannot use the pooled settings.
So could let me know how to package a EAR file without containing it's local data-source setting,but use the global data-source setting?Or how to control the local data-source setting without changed after mannully defined.
Your reply is greatly appreciated!

Mike,
You don't need a File to do what you want. Even if you could, it would be wrong to use a file.
It would be wrong, because the compiler might not by using a JavaFileManager that is actually backed by a filesystem. It could be backed by some form of repository such as a database, or it could be backed by a transient in memory file system ( An example of the latter is the [annotation processor test framework|https://hickory.dev.java.net/nonav/apidocs/index.html?net/java/dev/hickory/testing/package-summary.html] in hickory)
But probably of more interest to you, you don't need to because you can simply [get an InputStream|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/FileObject.html#openInputStream()] from the FileObject returned from [filer.getResource(...)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/annotation/processing/Filer.html#getResource(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location,%20java.lang.CharSequence,%20java.lang.CharSequence)] and read it.
You might also find the [Compiler Tree API|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/jdk/api/javac/tree/index.html] useful. The Compiler Tree API is available to annotation processors running in Oracle's (Sun's) javac, but not in other compilers (possibly limiting portability).
With this API you can [convert |http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/jdk/api/javac/tree/com/sun/source/util/Trees.html#getPath(javax.lang.model.element.Element)] the Element representing the annotation to a Treepath then [get the leaf node|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/jdk/api/javac/tree/com/sun/source/util/TreePath.html#getLeaf()] and from that tree [obtain its offsets|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/jdk/api/javac/tree/com/sun/source/util/Trees.html#getSourcePositions()] within the source file.

Delete Power Query queries' custom XML data using VBA

I have Power Query queries in an Excel 2010 file and would like to delete these queries using VBA. so far I can achieve that manually with the following steps:
unload Power Query addin
run Document Inspector and click to delete Custom XML data
The Macro recorder record the following code for step 2.
Sub Makro1()
' Makro1 Makro
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIPrinterPath)
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIDocumentProperties)
ActiveWorkbook.RemoveDocumentInformation (xlRDIInactiveDataConnections)
End Sub
However, using this macro I do not achieve the same result (=PQ query code gone from the workbook).
Any ideas on how to achieve the PQ query codes to be removed using VBA?

On some cases Macro Recording is not complete, and misses to record the full set of VBA to automate the actions you record. This is probably such a case.
We are looking into future ways to allow you automate Power Query cleanup.
For the time being, please see if the
Document Inspector interface can clean the custom XML data (which holds the Power Query data structures).
thx, Gil.

Query from a huge data source

I am currently working on the query on the BO through a Java application. Following the sample procedure, I can perform a query to extract data from the built-in Universe e-fashion using the JDK-provided web services: QueryService and ReportEngine.
However, I encountered some problems when doing the same thing in a universe that contains million rows of data [let say Unvierse A]. I am not sure how the differences between the 2 universes affect the result.
I have tried several times like setting different query objects and query condition but the results still outputs error. There are some error messages I commonly found when I tried to execute the query from the Universe A.
DataProviderInformation boDataProviderInfo = boQuerySrv.createDataProvider(boUniverseUID, boQuerySpec, boRetProp);
DocumentInformation docInfo = objReportEngine.getDocumentInformation(boQueryDocRef, null, actions, null, retBOData);

How to use Power Query to load data from a single source into multiple tables

Hi all,
I have a requirement to load my data into three different data models using Power Query. Is that possible?
My source is a SharePoint survey list, with similar questions like:
1) Course lecturer - John Doe
1a) The course was useful (rate 1 to 5)
1b) The lecturer displayed good knowledge of topic (rate 1 to 5)
2) Course Lecturer - Mary Brown
2a) The course was useful (rate 1 to 5)
2b) The lecturer displayed good knowledge of topic (rate 1 to 5)
I would like to split the data into separate data models (one for John Doe; another for Mary Brown), so that I can compare the different lecturers. Other than running separate surveys for each of them, I thought of using Power Query to transform the data.
Is it possible?
Thanks.
Regards
GM

Yes, this is possible.
Start with a single query that returns you the data for all lecturers.
Right-click on the "all lecturers" query in the queries pane, and choose Reference, once for each lecturer. This will create a query for each lecturer.
Open the query for each lecturer and filter the data so that only that lecturer's results are visible.
Click "Close & Load To..." for each lecturer's query to load the data into the data model. This will create a data model table for each lecturer.
If your question is more about how to transform such a survey list into a table that can be easily filtered, please provide an example of how the list shows up in Power Query.

The schedule in Power BI report refresh error with the powerpivot or powerview with SQL Analysis services as data source

In the Power BI Admin Centre, the data sources that cannot be setup with Analysis services, and it has the error to schedule the powerpivot or powerview report to have data refresh. The error is "我們無法重新整理此報表中的資料來源種類。" - english, "We
can not rearrange the source of information in this report types ." We would like to know the power bi schedule function can support SQL analysis service or not. Please advise. Thanks.
Winsee

It is not currently supported. You might be able to create a linked server in SQL to be a proxy for the connection and enable scheduled refresh if you are desperate.

CrystalRpts - Excel Data source, SQLServer2005 table. SQL Query behavior?

Greetings - What should be a simple report (with Excel 2007 spreadsheet as primary data source linking to a SQLServer 2005 table ) returns incorrect results. Query designed to select data from SQL Table with 'DATES >=' certain date, but data returned ignores the DATE qualifier.
Running DATE query manually against the SQL Table proves the data is correct.
Anyone notice problems with SQL Query behavior when mixing data sources? Thanks.

Hello,
Take the SQL that works outside of CR and then create a new report and add all data sources. Now use a Command Object and paste in your SQL. YOu may have to play with adding each data source in a different order. If that works great if not you'll have to figure out a way to get all the data into one source.
I believe MS SQL Server can link multiple data sources and types. Check SQL Help file for more info it it is possible.
Thank you

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.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

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.

Refresh Pivot Bug in Power Query version 2.16.3822.242

I have an Excel file with Power Query and several Pivot Tables built from the Power Query data. The Pivots are built from the table loaded to a worksheet, and there is a timeline date slicer connected to all those various Pivot Tables.
In build 2.16.3822.242, refreshing the Pivot Table (either by right-click/Refresh, or programmatically via macro) causes the date timeline slicer to disappear (literally be deleted from the sheet). The Pivot Refresh succeeds fine.
This does not occur when using Power Query Version: 2.16.3785.242. So for the time being, my only workaround is to avoid installing the newer build.
Any ideas what's causing it? I told my coworker (the primary user of the file) that she could still use the file and go filter every pivot's date range separately, rather than the slicer, but that is laborious and for now she is just going to remote-desktop
into a computer that doesn't have build 3822 installed yet.

Hey Ed, I apologize for un-proposing your answer so quick, I was on my Windows Phone but the forum loading spinner wouldn't leave the text entry field, so I couldn't input a reply until I got home.
I actually found a solution just today. This may not be the 'only' solution, but it worked well. When I had previously thought I had a solution, it only 'worked' because my subsequent refresh after making the table change didn't add any new rows of
data (all the rows it would have returned that day were already there). Today I made the change and then refreshed, and the new rows were formatted as the Power Query intended them to be.
The settings I used were to set the table to "do not preserve formatting" and to "overwrite existing cells for new data, clear unused cells". Now my inserted Power Query table is plain white (no banded lines or colors), but I don't care
because it's on a hidden sheet that no one will ever see.
Here's the table settings that seemed to work well for me.
And to be honest (although I haven't extensively tested), I think this was only a problem if the table was created using an old version of Power Query, then refreshed with the new version. Anyway, now I can easily refresh my Query and then the Pivot
from it without trouble.
And since I suck at brevity: I also think it'd be beneficial for me to re-create these workbooks and have the Power Query only add the data to the data model, and source the Pivot directly from that, rather than indirectly source the pivot from a populated
table. Basically save a step, and then the Pivot will refresh together with the connection, rather than having to be refreshed separately after the query is done.
In any case, I'm loving this tool and I'm practically a Power Query evangelist to every other department, because it empowers the knowledge worker to investigate data without waiting weeks for a DBA to have time to write a query and send results. Plus
we power this awesome real-time performance dashboard showing live KPIs of 15 metrics, and ditched our Domo.com account, saving upwards of 100k per year, just by using Power Query. Using nothing but plain Excel and Power Query, it publishes the graphics to
our intranet and TVs around the builds live all day. It's amazing.

Data sources in deploying web app. to Oracle Application Server

I am using simple web application - JSP with BC4J (JDeveloper 9.0.5.1).
I want to configure my application to use Data Source instead of JDeveloper connection and deploy it to production database, so DB administrator will take care of username and password.
First, I create a new application module configuration that uses a data source instead of a JDeveloper connection with BC config. name TestAppModuleWithDS.
Then I modify my application client (DataBindings.cpx) to use the new configuration (TestAppModuleWithDS).
After that I create deployment profile and deploy to application server connection and try to test it on standalone server, and on production server together with my DBA.
But the application is not running, always displaying error messages...
Please what is the procedure and how to set Config of ApplModule.
It is working properly with embeded server, but on standalone server there is an error:

iAS 1.0.x is StoneAge Technology (TM).
Using the E-Business Suite you should look into the newer versions of the Application Server. I believe that 10.1.2.x supports the EBS, otherwise 9.04 should do the trick. Webservice support is much better in the newer versions. 1.0.x is from around 2000/2001 so the Webservice technology back than was "different" :-)

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.

Report using two different data sources won't work.

I'm trying to build a report that shows information from a production table and an archive table.
Tables are in different databases, which are defined as their own Data Sources in Publisher.
Two data sets containing the same query but using different Data Sources are defined in the Data Model.
When selecting option 'Concatenated SQL Data Source' the report never completes.
If any of the two Data Sets is selected as the Main Data Set, the report shows information related to that source only.
Any hints on how to make this work would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The production database has a synonym pointing to the archive database. I build a query using a UNION ALL statement linking both tables.
For the same set of parameters, this query completes in a couple of minutes outside BI Publisher, but never ends (I cancel after an hour) inside Publisher.
Is there any special considerations for the use of synonyms inside Publisher?
