Hi,
I have been using Power Bi for a month or so now and really love it. I have managed to set up a couple of reports/dashboards using the Jira PowerBi content pack and it works great. I have change some of the custom fields to new once using the Jira field Id and get the values into Power Bi properly.
First question:
For some columns I get the "Expand" option from the dropdown menu in the graphical interface for editing the query, but for one column (Incident Classification, custom field), I only see "null" values and therefore don't get the expand option. But I know there are [Record] values in that column (it is shown as [Record] in the report). How can I expand that column some how? In Jira it is a custom field where only one value can be selected (from a drop down), so I assume there should be a "name" value in the record to be expanded and shown in the report. Any ideas on how to expand this field?
Second question:
I'm running the "Time to SLA" plugin in Jira and then manage to import the cusotm field for "SLA Overdue". Power Bi returns a [List] value. The list contains a text like "P2 Resolution: 2d 4h 30min 12s". I assume it could contains two (or more) values on the same format. I would like to have the list transformed to text format, maybe seperated by some delimiter, but I can't get it to work. I tried changing type but then when getting the data from Jira, I get a lot of errors. Any ideas?
Information about my setup
We run Jira on premisis. I'm not that interested in running things in the cloud due to privacy regulations.
I don't really understand the advanced query that much but managed to manipulate it a bit to get my custom fields etc. The advanced edit query looks like this:
let
Source = FetchPages("", 500),

#"Expanded resolution"It's very time consuming to test changes since Power Bi always seems to get all issues and we have around 350 000 issues in Jira so it takes a couple of hours to get the data. For now, I just want to solved my questions below and then I can get this report to the management board and then get a lot more allocated time to work with Power Bi, it has extremely good potential within our company.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or questions!
