Posted on by amitkabadi

Hi,

I have created a list in SharePoint and I am creating POWER BI report using the option provided in SharePoint.

I have created calculated column which is number and for some reason POWER BI is not reading it as number column.

Well I need SUM of the pending hours . How to do it in Power BI SharePoint. I cant go for Power BI desktop option since I need it in SharePoint platform.

Appreciate any help

Regards

Hi @amitkabadi,

Are you using Power Query to interact with the SharePoint List?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/connectors/sharepointonlinelist

If so, can you try and transform it with the following Power Query code:

let Source = SharePoint.Tables("https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/sourcesite", [ApiVersion = 15]), Navigation = Source{[Id = "a36ede88-5c99-47ee-96fe-c3c6e347d54a"]}[Items], #"Changed column type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Navigation, {{"Pending Hours", Int64.Type}}), #"Calculated sum" = List.Sum(#"Changed column type"[Pending Hours]) in #"Calculated sum"

Hi @amitkabadi,

As far as I am aware Power Query is not available in that integration app, https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/quickly-create-reports-from-sharepoint-lists/. So, you can't use that Power Query code snippet I shared earlier in that approach.

I was suggesting to use Power Query to transform that calculated field from the source data via a dataflow:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/dataflows/dataflows-create#create-a-dataflow-using-define-new-tables

However, the usage of that feature does require some specific licensing

Dataflows can be created by user in a Premium workspace, users with a Pro license, and users with a Premium Per User (PPU) license.
