I don't understand why I'm looking at results and am not able to see the full column name. And then have to manually click through and expand each column I want to see. Is there really no way to do this?
Non expanded columns in results
I've researched but have found no one asking or even wondering about this. Am I the only one in the world who has a problem with this?!

I'm facing the following problem. I have a very large excel sheet in the format attached as a picture. For reasons beyond my control the basic formatting of this sheet needs to be maintained as people with no skill want to be able to edit this.
However, I need to work with the content and as it is quite large, it is really unreadable. So what I wanted to do is to be able to find the tasks belonging to different departments and the different people. My approach was to create two pivot tables where I want a dropdown list with either the department or the person to be able to filter on the tasks that that belong to each of them. I have found how to filter on a dropdown menu, however this is for column entries. What I want to do is to filter on the column labels and then display the tasks for which the column I selected is non empty.
I need some help on the direction in which I need to search for the answer to this problem as I'm currently lost in solutions that have nothing to do with this problem.
Thanks in advance
You can use Power Query Excel 2010+ you can download and activate easily or by default in 2016 version. There you can keep this format for your users and a pivot table for control.
So I'm working with an old joomla site and trying to export only useful data, and I found a pretty hacky way of accomplishing what I wanted to do.
So for the column I want to get to, images, even though there's been no useful information input into it, joomla automatically populates it with the following:
{"image_intro":"","float_intro":"","image_intro_alt":"","image_intro_caption":"","image_fulltext":"","float_fulltext":"","image_fulltext_alt":"","image_fulltext_caption":""}
I Ideally only want to search for fields where the value for image_fulltext is not empty, and only get the value of the field.
My original idea was this hacky snippet just to find the relevant rows at least.
SELECT id, images FROM `JOOMLAPREFIX_content` WHERE images !='{"image_intro":"","float_intro":"","image_intro_alt":"","image_intro_caption":"","image_fulltext":"","float_fulltext":"","image_fulltext_alt":"","image_fulltext_caption":""}'
This gets the me the relevant rows, but it also gets me more information than I want. (The first suggested solution, while a much less "hackey" query, gets me the same result, as you can see in the SQL snippet.)
Id Images
7 {"image_intro":"","float_intro":"","image_intro_alt":"","image_intro_caption":"","image_fulltext":"images\/featuredimage1832014.jpg","float_fulltext":"","image_fulltext_alt":"","image_fulltext_caption":""}
Is there a way to target only the value of image_fulltext, in the case of this row: "images/featuredimage1832014.jpg"?
SQL Fiddle
Try this:
SELECT id, images FROM `JOOMLAPREFIX_content` WHERE images NOT LIKE '%"image_fulltext":""%'
I need to add a field to a SSRS report. I tried modifying the dataset (query) but the results prouduced insane results, with zipcodes showing up in the name fields and names showing up in a datetime field. I suspect it is because of the groups but I don't understand how they work. The Dataset is created by 4 selects. The first 3 insert into temp tables and the fourth pulls from it. I suspect that I will have to re-write the query but it would be nice if I could use it as is with modifications. Either way I need to understand the groups.
I read
Data Region Cells, Data Region and Understanding Groups. Aside from the fact that they use terms specific to SSRS without defining them they are so undetailed I doubt many people who do not already understand SSRS can get anything out of them.
I did not write this report but I must modify it. I understand SQL well. Not so much with SSRS.
Can anyone explain how to find out what the Row Groups mean? Mine look like this:
Here is the tablix
you most probably going to think "what an idiot" but remember i never done any type of coding before so this is all new to me,
My problem are that i'm working on a HUGE excel sheet with loads of data that is not needed. i need to sort the data into a few columns, i only need column "A,K,AN,AQ" but in column "AS" i only need certain values (yes,no,blank) i only want the yes and blank values. like i said never done any coding before but i know that you can use an macro to do it so please help, how do i go about this?
before trying to get into macros, try to use functions with if else statements. They are quite easy to handle. Like: If (yes) then put it into X. Later, you could select all needed. Also, check the, how the dollar sign is used
use this links to see, if it is something for you.
One quick and dirty way of getting this job done would be to:
Delete the columns you don't need.
Select all cells in the range you're interested in, click the Insert menu, and choose "Table". If your columns have titles, select the box for "My Table has Headers."
-This turns your data into an array so that Excel recognizes that each row is an entry (instead of thinking that the cells are unrelated).
Now you can use the filter icon in the column headers to select and display only the rows containing the values in column X that you're interested in.
Note that there are some limitations to what the table feature is good for, so, as always, whether this is a good solution for you depends on what you want to do with the data.
Let me explain my problem,
in Pentaho Report Designer I want to build such a report, where I have one data set, i.e. one request to database
SELECT code, name FROM EMPLOYEES
and show result of this request not in the form of list, but put every result in appropriate place. i.e. like in below picture
Where field "code" is unique, just one result can be put into red label in picture.
How can I do this in Pentaho Report Designer?
I can solve this problem by creating 3 data set, for each of caption. But what if captions like this will be much more, creating requests for each of this caption will not be so effective.
Hope I could explain my question.
I don't know if I got it right, but If you want to use the values returned by your query, you could create a new formula called "your_formula":
=MULTIVALUEQUERY("name_of_your_query")
This will give you an array with the result of the query. Then you could use another formula to get the 1st result of the array. For example:
=ARRAYLEFT([your_formula])
and get the first result of your query. This way let you use your_formula as parameter. This means you can drag and drop it on your report and use it.
I hope it helps.

Tatan.
