Keeping track of modifications in Power BI data

Let's say I have a list of the members of a team, and I keep track of their status (active/inactive, or present/absent, for instance). My file contains an id for each member, a column "updated at timestamp" as well as a column giving their current status. The list is updated daily, so some member's status can change from one day to the next.
What I would like to do is get the number of days the status was on "active/present" during a month (or a percentage of "active" during the month).
The problem being that the data is not stored : when there is an update, the column "status" changes but there is no history on whether it was on active/present or inactive/absent the previous day.
Could someone help me find a way to do that ?
Thanks in advance.
For the situation you mentioned, you can use a RDBMS systems. I am writing for SQL Server, probably you would use the "Temporal Table" for historical information.

How do I make a button that time stamps INs and OUTs

Good evening, I am new to MS Access & I am trying to figure out how to make a button that time stamps IN & OUT times/dates for a day care. (Also, another one for employees).
I don't know much about coding. Currently, I've got my ClientID as an employee number and their respective names and info linked to that.
But how do I create a simple to use button interface that would allow an employee to simply enter a name (or search), then click Sign In / Sign Out to time stamp that time to a field of records for me to later query for data, calculate cost of attendance, etc.
Thank you in advance.

Access 2010 VBA and filtering

Good Day,
I need some assistance please. I am rebuilding a third party Access database after it's catastrophic failure and the failure of the 3rd party developer to fix his mess. I am an avid Access Developer and know my way around an Access Database well. I am not a super VBA coder, but I can do more than my bit in VBA as well as a few other languages.
Currently, I have a database test bed with a login form that stores 3 values as public variables (gstrLevel as String, gstrUser as String, gintID as Integer). I am able to set my own "permissions" with ease in that once they login I can use the values to control the switchboard etc.
My problem now is the following. We have people recording prospective client interactions and interviews. As part of the process, every time they make contact, they record this into the database and in the process a "followup date" is created. This works like a charm. What I now need to do is warm the users if these followup dates are close or have passed so that prompt action can be taken lest we lose a prospective client.
I have a query that takes the prospective table information, and the notes table information (where the followup date is stored) and then filters the dates correctly. This in turn has been used to create a continues form to display the records that need followup soon. What I cannot seem to do is to get it to only show the logged in users followup records.
I should note that the user/agent field is a lookup field in the prospective table, and thus also creates a combo box in the Followup form. I can lock the form from changes etc, but I can't seem to get it to only display the relevant user/agent details.
I have tried:
DoCmd.ApplyFilter
Me.Filter
Me.FilterOn = True
DLookup as criteria
Using my public variables directly as query criteria
And a few other weird combinations with no success.
My problem, I believe, is the fact that the user/agent is a lookup field, and I am not sure how to filter based on that fact. If I use the gstrUser variable directly I get a type mismatch and if I use gintID directly it shows nothing.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
You probably have a Users table, with a numeric Primary Key (PK), while your gstrUser stores the userName.
So in the source of your Followup form, just add the Users table (joined to the Prospective table on UserId) and apply the filter on the userName field in the Users table (or whatever it's called that matches the contents of gstrUser).

time spent actuals

I would like to be able to copy the total "Time Spent" from a Task on the Time sheet to the Task "Actual" field. This way I can use the Time Sheet to enter the time I've spent on a task and see the value (in the form of the "Actual" column) on the Team Status page. Suggestions the best way to tackle this? I'm new to the Rally APIs so not sure where to start.
The Time Spent field only exists on the Task Detail Page. It is not actually stored in the on the object and thus not returned in the WSAPI. If you wanted to update the Actual value for a task you would have to sum up the hours field on the TimeEntryValue.
My recommendation would be to use a fetch that looks something like
fetch="Hours,TimeEntryItem,Task"
That would give you everything you need in one query.
