I'm looking for guidance on what changes need to be made to the model to get this pivot to display the proper rows under their respective jusridictions.
Currently the pivot displays ALL tax detail rows for each jusridiction.
Image 1 was removed due to posting limits.
Image 2 is the pivot after adding in the tax type.
Image 3 is the data model, showing the relation between the invoice data and the tax data. There can be 1 to many tax rows per invoice row.
If this question has been asked and answered before please provide a link. I don't have the time to scan 1000+ posts on PowerPivot to see if they apply. I did go through 150 of them with no joy.

I'm trying to get a query together that selects products based on a combination of data (body type, materials and colors,etc.) and I've gotten close but I'm still missing a step to get exactly what I want. I've been looking more at pivoting data and I've tinkered with this query but I'm still left with this issue.
Basically, I have multiple products that only have one material and color attributed to them and they each have a unique stock keeping ID, but some of the body types will have 2 materials and colors per stock keeping unit.
My current results in this db fiddle https://www.db-fiddle.com/f/u4zKAdw3H4hFLbfnzEeZS2/1
are as shown:
For the most part the results are there but BodB has the same color for both materials and should be one single row like BoDB | Fabric | Black | Leather | Black
So if one body code is attached to 2 different materials but the same color with sequence 1 and 2, it should be a single row effectively grouped by the body and the color (the materials wouldn't be the same, only the color. And there will only ever be up to 2 materials and colors on a given stock keeping unit
The fiddle is ready to go with these results, any help is much appreciated
For example, I am querying the trial balance sp_report and would like to have debit/credit columns for the current year and another set of debit/credit columns for the prior year.
Current code is:
sp_report TrialBalance show AccountType, Label, AccountFullName,
AccountName, Debit, Credit parameters DateMacro = 'ThisYear'
I would suggest creating three sheets in an Excel workbook. Sheet 1 for this year and Sheet 2 for the previous year. You can then use Sheet 3 and create a report by combining values from sheets 1 and 2.

I am trying to improve the performance of updating only about 60K rows with data coming from different rows in the same table. At about 2 minutes, it's not terrible, but it's not great either, and my application really doesn't work if you have to wait so long between recalculations.
The app generates a set of financial statements for a business, where it calculates basic formulas on 1300 line items, like Rent, or Direct Labor, or Inventory costs, all of which roll up to totals that mimic the Balance Sheet, P&Ls, Cash Flow etc. Many of the line items need to calculate on a month by month basis, where for instance it has figure out April's On Hand Inventory before knowing what April's Inventory Value is. So the total program ends up looping through 48 months over 30 calculation passes, requiring about 8000 SQL statements. (fortunately it figures it all out by itself!) Each SQL is taking only a few milliseconds, but it adds up.
I'm pretty sure I can't reduce the number of loops, so I keep trying to figure out how to make each SQL quicker. The basic structure is as follows:
LI: Line item table that holds the basic info of each item, primary key LID
LID Name
123 Sales_1
124 Sales_2
200 Total Sales
Formula: Master/Detail tables that create any formula from the line items
Total sales=Sales_1 + Sales_2
or
{200}={123}+{124}
(I use curly braces to be able to find and replace the LIDs within the formula, as shown in the SQL below)
FC: Formula Calculation table: all line items by month, about 1300 items x 48 months=62K records. Primary key FID
FID SQL_ID LID LID_brace LIN OutputMonth Formula Amount
3232 25 123 {123} Sales_1 1 1200
3255 26 124 {124} Sales_2 1 1500
5454 177 200 {200} Total Sales 1 {123}+{124}
DMO:Operand Join table, which links a formula to its detail lines within the same table, so once Sales_1 is calculated, it can find the Total Sales record and update it, which then will evaluate then send its amount up the chain to the other LIDs that depend on it, such as Total Income. It locates the record to update based on the SQL_id, which is set based on the calc pass and month. Its complex to setup, but pretty straightforward once you actually run things
Master_FID Detail_FID
5454 3232 (links total sales to sales_1)
5454 3255 (links total sales to sales_2)
SQL1:
Update FC inner join DMO on FC.FID=DMO.Master_FID inner join FC2 on DMO.Detail_FID=FC2.FID set FC.formula=replace(FC.Formula,FC.LID_brace,FC2.Amount) where FC.sql_id=177
The above will change {123} + {124} to 1200+1500 which will then evaluate to 2700 when I run the following
SQL2:
UPDATE FC SET FC.amount = Eval([fc].[formula]) WHERE (((FC.calc_sql_id)=177 )
So those two sql statements are run over and over again, with the only thing changing is the SQL_id.
There are indexes on the SQL_ID, LID, FID etc
When measuring, the milliseconds per record can range from .04ms if there are many records included (~10K for some passes), up to 10 or 15 ms for just one record updated. Perhaps it is the setup of the query causing a whole lot of overhead time, because it doesn't seem to be a function of the actual number of records updated? Also its not very consistent, where some runs have 20+ ms compared to less than 3ms when it runs it again.
I know this is a complex question i'm asking that probably doesn't have a simple answer, but I'm just looking for directions for what might help. For instance, a parameter query if there isn't a whole lot of change between runs? Does Access have a better time of running a query if knows about it in advance, i.e a named query with parameters vs dynamic SQL? Am I just doomed because it still needs to run those 8000 queries?
Also, is there inherently a problem with trying to update the same table through a secondary join table, and/or is there a better way to do it?
Is it also because string replacing isn't efficient this way? If I tried RegEx would that be quicker? I would have to make a function that could do that within a query, but it seems like that's going to be slower.
Thanks in advance, this has been a most vexing problem!!!
Hopefully you can help!
I have a single data source in my SSRS report. With this data source, I have populated a tablix. The tablix looks something like this:
SalesPerson ID Group Sales
Sarah 1 1 1234
Ross 2 1 555
Gemma 3 2 678
Jill 4 2 345
Jack 5 3 987
Peter 6 2 432
Henry 7 2 356
The report is set up to create a different page for each of the sales people. for example, on the first page of the report, only first record would be shown (the record that holds Sarah's information, the second page would show the record for Ross' information ,etc..)
The issues I face is this:
At the bottom of the report, I need to include a textbox that displays the group number that the specific employee belongs to (the employee who is currently being displayed on the page).
I think that I need to do some sort of lookup on the IDReportItem to return the group ID in order to do this, but have had no luck in my attempts.
I understand that this is a horrible way of doing things, but I am limited to using this single dataset for performing this task.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks you!
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in a single textbox, but you can do it with a second tablix that uses the same dataset.
Create your second tablix and position it at the bottom of the page, then set your grouping to be the same on both tablixes and use the second tablix to only display the group ID, plus whatever label you want.
Create a new row group for each tablix (grouping on group ID), then right click the group and browse to Group Properties -> Page Breaks and check the box that says "Between each instance of a group". Do this for both tablixes.
This is what grouping is designed for. Build your table, and set the page break attribute to true.
You can have multiple rows under your group. Since your group is a field, simply add it to the detail row.
Your grouping is obviously set up right to get the report paging correctly.
You could add a List to the report, set the grouping on that (with page break between groups)
Inside the list - Add a RECTANGLE. (this be important!)
Once you've added the rectangle, you can add another as many objects as you like. In your case I think that may be a matrix and a text box
eg
Then it just becomes as spacing issue (to get the page looking right)
I work for an eCommerce company and we use Microsoft Excel for our inventory database. We currently just keep adding items to this database as we purchase them, without ever removing them. What I would like to do is start removing items as they sell. I am not sure how to attach the file, so if you e-mail me at drenollet#supplykick.com I can send it to you. Below are the following steps:
The Sales tab includes the sales data for the items. I would like to take this data and be able to copy and paste it in a sheet in our Inventory Managment file in excel (a separate file, but I included a sample in the "Database" sheet).
I then need to just use a VLOOKUP formula and the Catalog data to get the Product ID instead of the SKU. (I can do this.)
Then use the copied data in the Sales Tab that is in the Inventory Management file and move the corresponding rows out of the Database file/sheet to the Sold Items sheet.
A few thoughts on specifics:
I want to make sure all the quantities are right. (e.g.1 if we purchased two of an item and only one sold - reducing the quantity in the Database sheet from two down to one.) (e.g.2 If we purchased an item two different times at two different prices and both were purchased in one sale, I would want to make sure both of the rows are moved out of the database).
If you have any thoughts on making sure the quantities are right, let me know. Maybe we need to set all the purchase quantities to one and copy the purchase of a multiple quantity of items X number of times for each one that was purchased.
Would love your input on how to cross this bridge! Let me know if you would like to see the sample file and I can directly e-mail it to you!

The best way to do this is to have a sheet called Movements
then you have just rows of entries like
A B C D
----------------------------------------
prodID Movement type Qty Date
123 Purchase 5 08/01/15
789 Sale 2 07/01/15
123 Return 1 06/01/15
456 Sale 1 05/01/15
789 Purchase 10 04/01/15
456 Purchase 5 03/01/15
123 Sale 2 03/01/15
123 Return 1 02/01/15
123 Sale 1 02/01/15
123 Purchase 10 01/01/15
Then at anytime excel can calculate whats in stock using sumifs or similar
=SUMIFS(C:C,A:A,"123",B:B,"Purchase") - Sumif(C:C,A:A,"123",B:B,"Sale")) + Sumif(C:C,A:A,"123",B:B,"Return"))
You should never remove rows from a database like this, you can always do a stock take every so often and restart the database with 1 entry for each item, but aways store the old data elsewhere.
Try not to mix price with quantity if possible, if you need to manage price , consider using a moving average price (MAP)
