I am trying to use API to pull user profile info from Microsoft TFS for work. What they have posted, how many hours they have logged, etc. I have little to no experience coding so right now any Any help will be most appreciated!
You should use the Data Warehouse and Cube to get the reports that you are looking for. There are many ways to manage the data; Reporting Services, Excel, or custom.

I wanted to know how many people are accessing a particular ssas cube. Please let me know the process to find them.
I don't think there's a simple way to get connected users from a cube. You can use a couple of different tools to collect that information (along with lot's of other information as well).
To get a list for users currently connected to a SSAS instance, you might use SQL Server Profiler. Then you can filter one cube from the resulting data.
For tracking users extended period of time, you can use Extended events
Both of these tools create data for a lot of data and you'll need to parse distinct users from that is some way.
To see the current sessions:
SELECT * FROM $System.DISCOVER_SESSIONS
As I would like to see my team information in one place on the Dashboard, is there a way to see the same Progress Report (Test Plans > Progress Report) on an ADO Dashboard. There are widgets, but I can't seem to find one to give the same information. I have organized my Test Suites Sprint Wise, and the progress reports provide the information I need.
According to your description, I checked this problem further. For this requirement, it is not supported at the moment.
We recommend that you could submit a suggestion ticket to suggest the feature on:https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/idea/post.html?space=21.
Thank you for helping us build a better Azure DevOps.
I'm looking for some help designing a better summary report. Right now we publish and send everything (execution% by modules, defects etc) in an excel and I was hoping if we could use that excel data to generate a live dashboard that would be accessible by a URL.
To add, the execution data comes from QTest and defects from JIRA. At this point we are even ok with filling data in excel manually and using that as a source for any reporting tool.
If a free tool is available, even more better.
Any leads, helps, feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,

Sounds like you need Microsoft's Power BI. We've done a lot of reporting from JIRA using this free tool (Desktop). If you need to share it with others "real time", you'll prefer the online experience for about $10/user/month. But if you're looking to stay "free", you can simply share the Power BI file with your stakeholders.
I recommend AGAINST using the already built in JIRA APP. It seems to want to pull back all your issues. Instead, use a REST API Call like this:
https://domain/rest/api/2/search?jql=filter=22605&fields=id,key,summary,description
If you get more issues back than your Issue Search is configured for, the pagination can be a little tricky. Also multiple values in a custom field need special handling.
Or if you're on premise and know your JIRA DB, direct SQL is an efficient way to go.
We use both mechanisms... (REST and SQL). SQL let us add logic in the view of the data that JIRA itself doesn't report on easily. (Parent-Child-subchild relationships and roll up of effort, story points, etc)
The best part of the Power BI solution is you should be able to integrate the data from JIRA and your test tool. (We pull from JIRA and our time tracking system).
My question is not about a specific code. I am trying to automate a business data governance data flow using a SQL backend. I have put a lot of time searching the internet or reaching out people for the right direction, but unfortunately I have not yet found something promising so I have a lot of hope I would find some people here to save from a big headache.
Assume that we have a flow (semi static/dynamic flow) for our business process. We have different departments owning portions of data. we need to take different actions during the flow such as data entry, data validation, data exportation, approvals, rejections, notes etc and also automatically define deadlines, create reports of overdue tasks and people accountable for them etc.
I guess the data management part would not be extremely difficult, but how to write an application (codes) to run the flow (workflow engine) is where I struggle. Should I use triggers or should I choose to write codes to frequently run queries to push the completed steps to next step, how I can use SQL tables to keep the track of flow etc
If one could give me some hints on this matter, I would be greatly appreciated
I would suggest using the sql server integration services SSIS, you can easily mange the scripts and workflow based on some lookup selections, and also you can schedule SSIS package on timely bases to trigger and do the job.
It's hard task to implement application server on sql server. Also it's will be very vendor depended solution. Best way i think to use sql server as data storage and some application server for business logic over data storage.
Not great at programming so not all that confident of being able to pull data from the Google API.
Basically what I'm trying to do is pull everything from Google Analytics, all data and dump it into a table on a SQL Server (2008 R2). What would be the best way of achieving this?
Would like to automate the process so that it could be scheduled say once a month.
Cheers
There an existing add-on specifically for accessing Google Analytics.
Haven't used it but from what I read seems like it will exactly what you are looking for
http://www.google.com/analytics/apps/about?app_id=1325007
There is a specific SSIS DataSource Component for that – https://analyticssource.codeplex.com
It is open source and free.
