I'm trying to understand the workflow and how to think when working with Power BI.
I'm trying to create the visual side of a logging framework using azure application insights and log analytics in the background.
What I got stuck on right now is using a visualization for different table structures.
Scenario:
So lets say I have an integration workflow that is compiled of different components (starts at one endpoint, being processed and sent to destination endpoint), and this workflow is used in parallel depending on the endpoints.
Visualization:
A ----> (integration process) -----> B
C ----> (integration process) -----> D
A <---- (integration process) <----- B
C <---- (integration process) <----- D
In this process I'm logging traces and exceptions for each workflow for example.
And lets say I have extracted the power BI query from log analytics to import the data into Power BI.
Now as you can see above I have an "Send" and "Receive" flow for both sets of endpoints per parallel integration so to speak and I want to be able to pair these per report in Power BI.
Problem:
So then to my problem for now;
Let's say I want to put a doughnut chart with total amount sent AND received messages.
Also when clicking on the different parts of the chart I want to change the containing data and also the structure of the single table in the same report.
What I'm struggling with is using a table to display the content of two workflows that are related to each other in the sense of being a "Sent and received" visualization of the integration, but don't have any hard drawn relations to each other in code.
I was reading something about a switch statement but I thought i'd ask the question here to learn "the way of thinking" when using Power BI.
Hope I made my problem clear by the description above, if I forgot anything please ask and I'll do my best to try to further explain what I'm asking for.
EDIT:
Ok so regarding the feedback i got of the question being to broad, does it help i i would say i want to be able to switch everything in a Table (that is: all columns and values), by a clickable slicer for example.
why i'm trying to achieve is something similar to this, but for a table view:
Youtube Link:
Using SWITCH True Logic In Power BI - DAX Concepts
Do i select the content of a table with a measure-query or do i have to do any other special fix to get this to work?
Hope this clarify the problem i'm working on.
If you are looking to switch between two entirely different tables, I'd recommend using buttons to toggle between different bookmarks which show/hide different visuals.
Check out the documentation for bookmarks and buttons for more detailed information and come back if you get stuck and have more specific questions.

I work for a nonprofit which help disabled military veterans. We have all our participants register with us using Salesforce as the repository of their registrations. We have dashboard components in Salesforce Lighting which totals up the number of active participants we have. I would like to display the component on our WordPress site but have never done anything like that before. I was hoping to find someone who has done something like that and offer some direction on how to go about doing it.
I tried looking up WordPress plugins which integrate with Salesforce. Most seem to be geared towards sending registrations back and forth but not displaying information. From a little bit of research, it seems like coding might need to be involved. Maybe doing a REST API with a Post option which will send the data through an HTTP URI? But to my understanding is that it would require WordPress to be an API. I am sure there are gaps in my logic.
I dont have an extensive amount of programing language experience but am willing to learn. I have taken a few Java and JavaScript classes in school.
I have not attempted this yet. I am just looking for feedback and direction.
Few options here, in no specific order...
Do Wordpress users have real Salesforce accounts or is their data simply stored in SF? Ask your Salesforce admin if there's a "customer community" configured (if your SF org is really old he might refer to it as customer portal). Communities offer nice way of exposing SF to poeple who don't need full SF user licenses. Think like collaborating with real SF users on "My Cases", viewing reports & dashboards... But for this you'd really need people logged in to SF so it won't work if you want just something anonymous. Some more info
Another option might be using Sites (Visualforce pages that expose SF data to guest users). Think like displaying a product catalog, FAQ, web-to-lead form or some other generic "contact us" page that's anonymous. So if you have SF developer (or admin with good copy-paste skills) you could use some Visualforce charts. They can be 100% coded (like this) or fed data from a report (like this) so it's simpler for admin to change the report filters or something without really writing code. Not sure if the simple route will work on a Site, there are some old answers that say "No", you might have to try it out. Worst case you'd need Apex code (or JavaScript) to query SF for results and display them. And display that SF Site page as <iframe> in Wordpress.
A slight twist on the Sites option - do you use Chatter (bit like Twitter inside SF)? There's way to take a snapshot of a report when a milestone has been met and post it to chatter ("congrats for hitting X participants"). And embed feeds on Visualforce pages too. Docs
What SF edition you're on (Group/Professional/Enterprise...)? If you have API access to Salesforce you could query the info yourself from Wordpress and display it using whatever charting library's easiest for you (Google Charts, Flot...). There are tons of examples how to connect to SF from PHP (or maybe you could cannibalize a WP plugin). Technically it's one POST message to log in to SF and one GET to run a query (something as simple as SELECT COUNT() FROM Contact WHERE isActive__c = true?)
That'd be more or less everything in terms of pulling data out of Salesforce. I mean if you have API access enabled you can slice & dice it how you want, extract data with raw PHP code or use some middleware but overall idea doesn't change. Write queries yourself or use "Analytics API" to access report results (so your administrator has power to change it without coding)...
So how about pushing? SF could notify you about current participants count. At scheduled intervals or even realtime. That'd be "just" raw data though, you'd have to write visualisation yourself.
Plenty of options here
workflow rules (code-free), sends XML message to specified URL so you'd need a WP page that can "capture" the result. Could be sent on creation of new record or update of existing. Won't give you totals, it'd be data related to that particular record so you'd have to build kind of +1 / -1 counter... Or if you use a report + analytic snapshot (helper object to store report results) and have workflow on that - that could be really close to what's needed.
scheduled apex job to run some queries and send the results to you. Again - you'd need a WP url that can be called from SF
if there's a CometD plugin for Wordpress you should look at Salesforce Streaming API, Platform Events or (newer and even simpler to configure) Change Data Capture. Basically you "subscribe" to a topic (a SF query) and whenever SF data changes and SF decides it'd change the results of the query - it'd push the results to you. It's almost realtime. Too much to write about them, perhaps best if you'd try to click through some trailheads - SF self-paced training courses:
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/api_basics/api_basics_streaming
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/change-data-capture

I have two user-defined metrics: totalCount and failedCount.
I've combined them into a single stacked-bar graph on a Stackdriver dashboard. All looking good so far.
I'd like to alert if failedCount exceeds 20% of the totalCount, but I can't find a way to achieve this. The dialogue to create an alert policy only allows me to work with one metric, but I need both in order to perform the simple arithmetic.
What am I missing?
What you want to do is not supported at the moment in google not such Datadog, there are other option such like When creating Alert Policy you have the option to add more than one metric in one Alert see below an example and use just the policy Triggers, see below:
You can see check this stack for more details on the arithmetic operation.
I think that the ability to create the kinds of alerting you'll be talking about will be included in Service Monitoring (see the Service Level Objectives section):
https://cloud.google.com/service-monitoring/
You can create exactly the alerting policy you're describing using a ratio alert. Unfortunately, you can't create those through the UI, you have to use the API (https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/v3/projects.alertPolicies#metricthreshold - check out "denominatorFilter").
The gcloud CLI tool does support everything the API does, so you don't actually have to write code if you don't want to - see https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/alerts/using-alerting-api#api-create-policy.

I'm implementing google analytics experiment in my website. There are certain queries and doubts I have. Please have a look:
Can we implement two experiment with a same page at a time ? Because to doing this, I'll have to put two experiment code in my original script and its giving me some warnings.
My case is I want to implement A/B Test Variation on two button (iOS App Download and Android App Download) at my website landing page. For this, I've create two goals for each button (Goals are linked with events that I've placed with both button clicked events).
Now for experiment, I've created experiment and selected goal and placed the experiment code at appropriate place.
What about 2nd experiment for other goal ? and how should I create it ?
I hope you clear my concern.
Below is one warning I'm getting while creating one experiment:
Note: Two experiment variations do not appear in the table. More information
The following 2 experiment variations have had no sessions.
I've checked url and everything, but not getting any clue.
Please suggest.
Thanks.
I don't fully understand the warning and the structure of your experiments, but in general you shouldn't create 2 experiments for the same page through the "normal" experiments panel.
For this kind of situations, it is much better to use the Google Content Experiments API (Client-side or Server-side). It is a little more difficult to configure, but allows for several tests in the same page, among other advantages.
If you don't want to do this "complex" configuration, you could use some paid solution like Optimizely or VWO (they include multivariate tests, which could be better for your use case than A/B tests).
We'd like a sort of overview report regarding our petitions in CiviCRM. It would be great to have two pie charts, one showing contacted and signed % and contacted but not signed %, and another pie chart showing the results of our one-question poll (Yes, No, Maybe).
Ideally the charting would be integrated into CiviCRM so we don't need to do custom code to get charts every time we run a poll.
I can't find anything to do this on the CiviCRM forums and my question there is unanswered.
Would this be better done in Drupal Webforms?
This is probably a job for a custom report template. The issue is that you're not just looking at petition signature activities; you're comparing that against being "contacted". CiviCRM won't know off the bat what you mean by that. Is it receiving an email? Having a phone call activity? Having any activity in X campaign?
The custom report template would need to extend the activity report to include contacts who are involved in two activities: being "contacted" and signing the petition. Really, it's not a report of petition signatures--many won't have signed anything--it's a report of being "contacted", so you'll need to be able to filter out what that is (and distinguish these activities from being contacted with a different ask).
You'll need to have the report template make joins from the "contacted" activity to the civicrm_activity_contact table, then to the same table (to find other activities the same contact is involved with), then to the civicrm_activity table again to get the petition signatures. Once you have the basics working there, you can add in columns and filters, and after that, you can give the report a pie chart display.
Once you have all this set up (and it is a bit significant--my shop would charge for 5-10 hours of work), you could use the regular interface to pick which petition and what criteria should be used for identifying those being "contacted". You could have a bunch of saved report instances for that single template, so you wouldn't need to write any new code unless a CiviCRM upgrade interfered with things.
Here's the reference for how to create custom report templates:

I am using HP loadrunner for my automatic tests.
Every time, when i run my application, it creates some transfer and also generates id in URL.
How can i get the id from URL?
Thanks in advance!
The web_reg_save_param function in LoadRunner is used for this. The following line will save the current page URL to the parameter (URL).
web_reg_save_param("URL", "LB/ic=Location: ", "RB=\r\n", "Search=Headers", LAST);
If you know what the ID is that your looking for, ie. http://www.example.com/?id=298374293847 you can adjust the call accordingly.
web_reg_save_param("URL", "LB/ic=Location: http://www.example.com/?id=", "RB=\r\n", "Search=Headers", LAST);
Hope this helps.
Recording with Siebel 8.1 on Loadrunner 11 having issues,posted a question on HP and got the same comment. But usually we can try the below mentioned option
You can record in Siebel-Web or web (http/html) and playback as
either too (if you want to record in Siebel-Web and play back in
regular web, just copy the contents of the script to a regular web
script and save).
Try a proxy mode recording in LR.
Changing registry and disables NTLM.
Turn off all autocorrelation rules
Turn on record as URL mode (as an alternate use web_custom_requests())
Use a sniffer to capture the traffic and then build a script by hand.(Best Option)
Change settings on the Siebel server side as well (Enable Automation=True, EnableWebClientAutomation = TRUE)
If you are recording your scripts using Web http/html you can use automatic correlation. For automatic correlation go to Design Studio
If you are unable to find the value there,then you must correlate manually using web_reg_save_param by giving the left and right boundaries.
This is going to sound belligerent, condescending and downright offensive. It is not to be meant as a reflection on you, but upon your management who has placed you in this position.
The topic of Correlation is one covered extensively in the class for LoadRunner web script development. It is the topic of a full 1/3 of the class and an additional appendix. All told some four different techniques for collecting dynamic data are covered, presented or documented as a part of the class materials. This capability, the handling of dynamic data, is a foundation tool skill.
Vardges, your management has placed you in a tough spot. Personally I would bolt for greener fields, for any management which is willing to do this to a line-of-business employee is also willing to toss that same person under the bus to salvage their own hide or a client relationship. Blaming you for something that management is unwilling to address is not a question of "if?" when training and mentoring does not occur, but only "when?" will the blame be placed on you.
