The unique identity number of citizens (JMBG) was created in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and is still used today in the Republic of Serbia, for the purpose of identifying citizens. It is a mandatory datum in the identity card, driver’s license, health card, passport and all other important documents. Its first 9 digits indicate the date of birth. How to calculate the age of the JMBG holder based on this data?

Highlighting found values

When working with large tables, it is often necessary to make their search easier. One of the ways to do this is by applying the option for conditional formatting, with which we can mark all rows in which a value corresponding to the given criteria was found. In the next “recipe” you will find out how to perform such task.

LED chart

The LED chart is not a chart, in the true sense of the word, but it looks nice and is a good choice to illustrate Variance analysis report. We make it so that, after analyzing the percentage for which the plan was exceeded or missed, with the help of the REPT function, generate a certain number of “squares” to illustrate the obtained result.

CONCATENATEX function

The CONCATENATE function is used to join strings in the DAX language. DAX also has a corresponding “X” function that acts as an iterator and allows joining of multiple strings with an option to use delimiter and sorting direction by given expression. In this post, you will learn how to use the CONCATENATEX function in a specific example, by displaying all brands in relation to the filter of the manufacturer to which they belong.

Comparison of two worksheets

In practice, it is sometimes necessary to compare the contents of two spreadsheets. With the exception of specialized Excel plugins that can be used for this purpose, the best way to achieve this is with the help of a formula in which we use the IF function or by using conditional formatting. In the text that follows, you will see how to compare the two tables, which are in two spreadsheets, and contain randomly generated numbers.
