Organizational Account authentication problem
I have encountered a new authentication problem using an organizational account with Get Data > From Web. The data source is Dynamics 365 CE on-premises (https://ce.xxx.com/api.data/v9.1), authenticating through ADFS with MFA. This has been working without any issues until recently. When I attempt to refresh the query, I get an ADFS pop-up window for username and password, as expected. However, the window then closes without the expected MFA prompt. The "Access Web content" window does say "You are currently signed in," but does not query successfully, instead displaying the error "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again." The most distinctive symptom, is that clicking the "Sign in as different user" button does not work. It just quickly opens and closes an empty window, instead of the expected ADFS username/password page. In Power BI Desktop everything works. The connection and query are successful, and the "Sign in as different user" button successfully displays both the initial ADFS username/password window and the subsequent MFA dialog.

Power Query - How Do I Count a Number of Entries Based on Another Column?
Hello! The title might be a little confusing. Here's the situation. I manage uniforms for my team. I am making a SharePoint list and form that an employee will use to request the uniforms. Then, to give me a digestible table that shows me exactly what I need, I have an Excel Power Query pulling the list in. On the form, instead of having a different entry for each polo in each color, each size, and each cut, I have it separated so that you pick cut, sizing, and color separately. Is there a way to have Power Query pull it to show me, for the screenshot example: Female L Red Polo: 2 Female L Blue Polo: 2 Male M Red Polo: 3 Male M Blue Polo: 1 Male M Tan Polo: 2 So on, and so forth. Is this possible? Thank you!đ¤ Save the Date: AMA with the Microsoft Fabric Leadership Team!

Help needed with IF and COUNTIFS Formulas
Is anyone able to advise the following formula: =COUNTIFS($B$5:$B$15,$R$4,$C5:$C15,"<=" & V3,$D5:$D15, ">" & V3)-COUNTIFS($B$5:$B$15,"="&$R$4,$G5:$G15,"<=" & V3,$H5:$H15, ">" & V3)-COUNTIFS($B$5:$B$15,"="&$R$4,$K5:$K15,"<=" & V3,$L5:$L15, ">" & V3)-COUNTIFS($B$5:$B$15,"="&$R$4,$O5:$O15,"<=" & V3,$P5:$P15, ">" & V3) Is there a way to simplify this? Is there a way to make this more accurate? Cells in column G & H, I & J, O & P are using the following format: =IF(C6="","",C6+E6) Cells in U4:CC4 are using the following format: =COUNTIFS($B$5:$B$15,$R$4,$C5:$C15,"<=" & U3,$D5:$D15, ">" & U3)-COUNTIFS($B$5:$B$15,"="&$R$4,$G5:$G15,"<=" & U3,$H5:$H15, ">" & U3)-COUNTIFS($B$5:$B$15,"="&$R$4,$K5:$K15,"<=" & U3,$L5:$L15, ">" & U3)-COUNTIFS($B$5:$B$15,"="&$R$4,$O5:$O15,"<=" & U3,$P5:$P15, ">" & U3) Cells in U5:CC15 are using the following format: =IF(U$4>=$T5,1,"") My issue is is when I put in the three break times, the mid break comes out at a shorter time. My other issue is is that when I put in the times in row 5,6and 11, the data is coming up as a combined data in rows 5, 6 and seven on the page two. Just for reference, "page two" is the same spreadsheet. What I need to happen is that I enter in the shift start time and finish time. This then populates through to Break 1, 2 and 3. The Time entry is the time the break starts. ie: 1 hour after start of shift, 1 hour after coming back from break, etc. The break entry is the duration of the break taken. ie: 30 minutes. Once all the info is put in, the relevant "Time Block" on "Page 2" shows a 1. What is happening at the moment is that when I enter all the time data, the time blocks are not populating correctly in accordance to the entry. Basically, If I have numerous people on shiftI need the time blocks to show where I have shortfalls in shift cover and not having too many people on break at the same time.
