Transforming column content to a hyperlink in Power Query

I've been using a formula in Excel to give me redirect links like this:
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("http://myurl.com/redirect/","/",A2),Fancy Title)
Is there a way to replicate this in Power Query?
Thanks,
Jes

Not directly, no. Once you've run the query, you can manually add a column to the result table in the worksheet of course. But at least for now, the added column would be lost when the data is refreshed.

Power Query and multi-selection columns

I have a power query pulling data from a sharepoint list some of the list columns allow multiple selections.
The power query seems to only be pulling in one value instead of all the selected ones in the columns.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Just to add a bit more detail to what is going.
In Power Query, SharePoint List columns with multiple selection choices are represented as nested tables with a single column called "Value". Each row of these nested tables will represent a selected choice for the list item. You can examine this by clicking
on "Table" under the "Options" column on one of the rows.
By clicking on the "Expand" icon of a column, you are making use of the Table.ExpandTableColumn function. That function will take each row in the table and do a cross product with the rows of the nested tables of the selected column. This means that each
row will be duplicated as many times as there rows in the nested columns.
In this specific case, each item in the SharePoint list will become duplicated as many times as there are selected choices for the item. This can be very useful in some cases, but I think that in your case this is not the operation that you're looking for.
If you want to simply create a column that combines all the selected choices as a single text value, there's a simpler alternative to Alejandro's solution:
= Table.AddColumn(RemovedColumns, "Options 2", each Text.Combine([Options][Value], ", "))
You can simply paste the above as a blank step by clicking on the "Fx" icon next to the formula bar. Here we're creating a new column called "Options 2" that combines the text values in the "Value" column of the nested table of the Options column and separate
each entry by ", ".

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!

How do I set the column content to automatic break lines

Hello Guys,
I have a problem with the column width and the column content of a standard report. Within the report are hugh entries which aren't interrupted by an space character. I set my column width to a special value by usingen "css style: display block; width: 300px;". Now the problem is that some of the column entries have a longer width than the column width is setted. So they overlock the entries of the column next to them.
My question is: How do I set the column content to automatic break lines after a certain count of characters?
After researching a couple of websites and discussion thread I found maybe a reference to the solution. I hope it help you to give me an answer.
COLUMN LAST_NAME FORMAT A4

wderr

Wderr,
PDFs are another animal entirely. Try adjusting the width of the column under the Print Attributes tab of the report.
If that doesn't work you'll probably need to create custom XSL-FO layouts which, depending on the tools you have at your disposal, could take some time.

Dan

POST http(s) request with xml content in Power Query

I have a POST http request which works good in HttpRequester (Firefox plugin). I know that it is possible to call POST request in Power Query but cannot find working solution. Here is the original request:
POST https://svcs.ebay.com/FeedbackService

X-EBAY-SOA-SERVICE-VERSION: 1.0.0
X-EBAY-SOA-SERVICE-NAME: FeedbackService

</dateRange>
<dateRangeEventType>ListingDate</dateRangeEventType>
</createDSRSummaryByPeriodRequest>
Power Query WebContent() function is capable to handle headers and xml content, however, there is no any documentation about its syntax.
In Power Query I use this request:
= Xml.Tables(Web.Contents(“https://svcs.ebay.com/FeedbackService”,
[Headers =[" X-EBAY-SOA-OPERATION-NAME"= "createDSRSummaryByPeriod",
"X-EBAY-SOA-SERVICE-VERSION="1.0.0",

However, it returns "Expression.SyntaxError: Invalid identifier." Maybe anyone has at least examples of analogous working syntax?

Task is solved. First of all I updated PowerQuery since previous version does not support Headers option for Web.Contents function. Here is a correct syntax:
=Xml.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.ebay.com/ws/api.dll",[Headers=[#"X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL"= "871",#"X-EBAY-API-SITEID"="0",#"X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME"="GetMyeBaySelling",#"CONTENT-TYPE"="text/xml"], Content=Text.ToBinary("<?xml version="&Character.FromNumber(34)&"1.0"&Character.FromNumber(34)&" encoding="&Character.FromNumber(34)&"utf-8"&Character.FromNumber(34)&"?>

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)

RenamedColumns

Is it possible to scale a text box by % but also transform the contents?

Is it possible to scale a text box by % but also transform the contents?
Object > Transform > Scale only transforms the box.
Grabbing and dragging a corner while holding shift/ctrl is not accurate enough.
Thanks

Object > Transform > Scale only transforms the box.
Object -> Transform -> Scale of 200% when applied to a text frame full of text works here: frame doubles in size, text doubles in font size. (CS5.5. and CS6 on Win7) It works on images, too.
In fact, I almost can't reproduce the behavior you report at all. The exception is this: If in CS5.5. I fill a frame with text, and then select the frame with the Direct Select tool (the white arrow) and use Object -> Transform -> Scale, then just the frame changes in size, and the text doesn't change. When you select the frame, which selection tool are you using?

Problem encountered on the FM fo the New column content

Hello Gurus,
I am still new to the enterprise portal content delvelopment and also still don't have much idea on this.
One of our abapers developed a FM serves as the column content for one of the newly created field in the 'My Staff - ECM' - 'Promotion' Iview. Upon running the page, we encountered the following error message:
<b><i>An error occurred: com.sap.pct.hcm.ecm.ApplicationException: Error in the module RSQL accessing the database interface. &INCLUDE &P9, error key: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE</i></b>
Can somebody explain to me what's the cause of this?

Hide/Show the column content

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to show /hide the column contents on particular conditions for a dataTable??
In other words, there may be a situation where I wanted to hide the object for row1 but not for row2
I tried with setRendered method. But the problem I am facing is for all row values the last condition is applying
Please let me know the answer at earliest. Otherwise any alternate solution is also OK
Thanks
Sudhakar

Hi JIM,
Thanks for reply.
Yesterday only I got the answer. Thought to post my idea here but got delayed.
After posting this question, I did some investigation on how dataTable component works.
Instead of using DefaultDataTableModel i have binded my own bean array which has pre computed values.
Now it is working fine
Thanks & Best Regards

Power Query - How to format options for Web.Content()?

I am trying to access a web api which can return data in either JSON or XML. When connecting with Power Query I get a "400, Bad request" error though and I suspect it could be due to Power Query not explicitly providing accepted Content-Types
in the request. Anyone know how to add options to the Web.Content() request?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/web-contents-HA104112310.aspx
Thanks!

I believe the default reponse content-type is JSON. It doesn't serve Power Query with anything but an error response though and with the help of Network Monitor I caught a bit more details (in Swedish).
Request:
Http: Request, GET /platsannons/matchning, Query:lanid=1
Command: GET

ProtocolVersion: HTTP/1.1

Response:
HTTPPayloadLine: {"Error":{"statuskod":400,"titel":"Bad Request","beskrivning":"Felaktig headerparameter: [Accept-Language]"}}
And the API can be found at:

Would be great to be able to define custom headers to the request through options for cases like these. Thanks for the reply!

Transform columns to rows

Hi, I would like transform columns to rows.
i.e. source table:
colA colB colC colD colE colX
aa bb cc dd ee 1
ff gg hh ii jj 2
..and output table-solution:
colText colValue colX
colA aa 1
colB bb 1
colC cc 1
colD dd 1
colE ee 1
colA ff 2
colB gg 2
colC hh 2
colD ii 2
colE jj 2
It's possible do it only with select - it would be the best solution.

Create custom column in power query

Hello All,
I have a requirement to create report for the Analysis, my raw data looks like below which I'm extracting from multiple tables. I would like to extract project wise number count based on status, my idea is to create custom columns to write the value
if the value matches to the condition else blank. Example my status has multiple status value ( closed, on-hold,warranty,inprogress,etc) i need to know what formula will help me extract data in different columns so that i can get the count in pivot for each

Hi Imke,
I have achieved what i wanted to... I did try the way you have suggested. But end result was not fruitful.
I did following for status wise count.
Step1: In power query I have created duplicate status column for each status available.( Example I have status {closed,open,initial... etc} I have created duplicate column for each status and replaced with null.For closed Except closed all i replaced in
column with null).
Step2: So every time my power query data refreshes it does that step each time so that i can get the count of each status column wise in my pivot table.
I have attached the result,
Harsha
