Ranking DAX measures

 In Power BI, you can rank DAX measures using functions like `RANKX()` or `TOPN()`. Here's how you can rank DAX measures:


1. **RANKX() Function:**


   The `RANKX()` function is commonly used to rank items based on a measure. It assigns a rank to each item based on the measure's value. Here's a basic example:


   ```DAX

   Rank Measure = RANKX(ALL('YourTable'), [YourMeasure], , DESC)

   ```


   - `ALL('YourTable')` ensures that the ranking considers all items in the table.

   - `[YourMeasure]` is the measure you want to rank by.

   - The third argument can be used for grouping or categorization.

   - `DESC` specifies the ranking order (descending). You can use `ASC` for ascending.


2. **TOPN() Function:**


   The `TOPN()` function is used to get the top N items based on a measure. It effectively ranks items and then filters based on the rank. Here's an example:


   ```DAX

   Top 10 Items = TOPN(10, FILTER(ALL('YourTable'), [YourMeasure] > 0), [YourMeasure], DESC)

   ```


   - `FILTER(ALL('YourTable'), [YourMeasure] > 0)` is used to filter out items where the measure is greater than 0.

   - `TOPN(10, ...)` retrieves the top 10 items based on the measure.


3. **RANK.EQ() Function:**


   The `RANK.EQ()` function can be used to return the rank of a specific value within a table column. Here's an example:


   ```DAX

   Rank of Value = RANK.EQ([YourMeasure], 'YourTable'[YourColumn], , DESC)

   ```


   - `[YourMeasure]` is the value you want to rank.

   - `'YourTable'[YourColumn]` is the column you want to rank within.

   - `DESC` specifies the ranking order.


These are just basic examples. Depending on your specific requirements, you may need to modify the DAX measures accordingly. Remember to replace 'YourTable', 'YourMeasure', and other placeholders with your actual table and measure names.


These ranking functions can be powerful for creating leaderboards, identifying top performers, or selecting the highest or lowest values within your data.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
