I am using the JMeter for the testing the application.
In the same, I have visited some page where the dynamic table contents should be displayed on the response data in view results.
However except that HTML dynamic table I am able to view the other contents so please help for getting the contents of the dynamic table too.
I have tried to get it using regular expression also have tried to get it with XPath extract. It goes till the <thead> tag, however, doesn't view the values in the <tbody>.
Here I have wanted to get the trains details. As the table is dynamic we should be able to get the values in the response of jmeter. However I am not able to get this contents.
In the same i tried to get the values of the special trains page using XPath so it gives me error of Illegal expression.
Screenshot no.3
I have not used any different library to get the html table data values.
I have tried to get the table contents by using the table it in regular expression
Xpath Query: "/html/body/table/tbody/tr2/td/div"
Reference name: Special_trains
so it gives the output java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 77: http://enquiry.indianrail.gov.in/ntes/specialTrains.jsp?scrollerDivSpltrn=Not found
In the same the div id is: "scrollerDivSpltrn"
Hence need the answer
You just need to extract the table id properly. Once you are able to extract the that id, you should be able to fetch dynamic table.

Searched everywhere but couldn't find something similar to this.
I got a table as below (a glimpse of it):
customDimensions is the column that pulls the data in JSON format. However, there are some empty cells (as seen below) in the column.
I tried to Parse the whole column into JSON but it is returning me errors in the blank columns as below:
Therefore I tried an alternative way of first replacing those blank cells in the customDimensions to a generic JSON format input as {"Type":"Unhandled"} and then Parsed the column into JSON. This successfully got rid of the errors, but it is returning error while refreshing the data!
So, How do I handle this in a different way? I want to replace those blank cells as either "null" or any keyword, as long as I do not miss the count of those blank cells.
EDIT
Re: This successfully got rid of the errors, but it is returning error while refreshing the data! The error is as follows:
And that specific error is as above
EDIT 2:
Got trapped in the XY Problem but actually you can just replace the error after parsing the JSON instead:
Repeat with all columns and it'll be fine.
As part of a tool I am creating for my team I am connecting to an internal web service via PowerQuery.
The web service returns nested JSON, and I have trouble parsing the JSON data to the format I am looking for. Specifically, I have a problem with extracting the content of records in a column to a comma separated list.
The data
As you can see, the data contains details related to a specific "race" (race_id). What I want to focus on is the information in the driver_codes which is a List of Records. The amount of records varies from 0 to 4 and each record is structured as id: 50000 (50000 could be any 5 digit number). So it could be:
id: 10000
id: 20000
id: 30000
As requested, an example snippet of the raw JSON:
<race>
<race_id>ABC123445</race_id>
<begin_time>2018-03-23T00:00:00Z</begin_time>
<vehicle_id>gokart_11</vehicle_id>
<driver_code>
<id>90200</id>
</driver_code>
<driver_code>
<id>90500</id>
</driver_code>
</race>
I want it to be structured as:
10000,20000,30000
The problem
When I choose "Extract values" on the column with the list, then I get the following message:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert a value of type Record to type
Text.
If I instead choose "Expand to new rows", then duplicate rows are created for each unique driver code. I now have several rows per unique race_id, but what I wanted was one row per unique race_id and a concatenated list of driver codes.
What I have tried
I have tried grouping the data by the race_id, but the operations allowed when grouping data do not include concatenating rows.
I have also tried unpivoting the column, but that leaves me with the same problem: I still get multiple rows.
I have googled (and Stack Overflowed) this issue extensively without luck. It might be that I am using the wrong keywords, however, so I apologize if a duplicate exists.
UPDATE: What I have tried based on the answers so far
I tried Alexis Olson's excellent and very detailed method, but I end up with the following error:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "id" to type Number. Details:
Value=id
Type=Type
The error comes from using either of these lines of M code (one with a List.Transform and one without):
= Table.Group(#"Renamed Columns", {"race_id", "begin_time", "vehicle_id"},
{{"DriverCodes", each Text.Combine([driver_code][id], ","), type text}})
= Table.Group(#"Renamed Columns", {"race_id", "begin_time", "vehicle_id"},
{{"DriverCodes", each Text.Combine(List.Transform([driver_code][id], each Number.ToText(_)), ","), type text}})
NB: if I do not write [driver_code][id] but only [id] then I get another error saying that column [id] does not exist.
Here's the JSON equivalent to the XML example you gave:
{"race": {
"race_id": "ABC123445",
"begin_time": "2018-03-23T00:00:00Z",
"vehicle_id": "gokart_11",
"driver_code": [
{ "id": "90200" },
{ "id": "90500" }
]}}
If you load this into the query editor, convert it to a table, and expand out the Value record, you'll have a table that looks like this:
At this point, choose Expand to New Rows, and then expand the id column so that your table looks like this:
At this point, you can apply the trick #mccard suggested. Group by the first columns and aggregate over the last using, say, max.
This last step produces M code like this:
= Table.Group(#"Expanded driver_code1",
{"Name", "race_id", "begin_time", "vehicle_id"},
{{"id", each List.Max([id]), type text}})
Instead of this, you want to replace List.Max with Text.Combine as follows:
= Table.Group(#"Changed Type",
{"Name", "race_id", "begin_time", "vehicle_id"},
{{"id", each Text.Combine([id], ","), type text}})
Note that if your id column is not in the text format, then this will throw an error. To fix this, insert a step before you group rows using Transform Tab > Data Type: Text to convert the type. Another options is to use List.Transform inside your Text.Combine like this:
Text.Combine(List.Transform([id], each Number.ToText(_)), ",")
Either way, you should end up with this:
An approach would be to use the Advanced Editor and change the operation done when grouping the data directly there in the code.
First, create the grouping using one of the operations available in the menu. For instance, create a column"Sum" using the Sum operation. It will give an error, but we should get the starting code to work on.
Then, open the Advanced Editor and find the code corresponding to the operation. It should be something like:
{{"Sum", each List.Sum([driver_codes]), type text}}
Change it to:
{{"driver_codes", each Text.Combine([driver_codes], ","), type text}}
We have a scenario where we should not display the header in the output in CSV using eText template.
Our output looks like this:
Header000001 Header000002
------------ ------------
Adetail1 Bdetail1
Adetail2 Bdetail2
Adetail3 Bdetail3
Desired output is:
Adetail1 Bdetail1
Adetail2 Bdetail2
Adetail3 Bdetail3
We tried all possible options in eText template like removing header section, verifying the data using BI Publisher Desktop tool, verifying logs etc.
We are not getting any error in BI Publisher Desktop tool.
Same question has been posted by somebody some time ago and it was resolved, but solution was not provided.
It would be very helpful if anybody can provide the exact solution.
The header will just be another block in your eText template. You can use the <DISPLAY CONDITION> command to skip printing that block in the output. The display condition command specifies when the enclosed record or data field group should be displayed. The command parameter is a boolean expression. When it evaluates to true, the record or data field group is displayed. Otherwise the record or data field group is skipped. You can just give condition as false, and that block will be skipped.
I have created a template using the provided data xml to output a CSV, without headers. A delimiter based template is used, but the header is not printed.

I know how to parse json cells in Open refine, but this one is too tricky for me.
I've used an API to extract the calendar of 4730 AirBNB's rooms, identified by their IDs.
Here is an example of one Json file : https://fr.airbnb.com/api/v2/calendar_months?key=d306zoyjsyarp7ifhu67rjxn52tv0t20¤cy=EUR&locale=fr&listing_id=4212133&month=11&year=2016&count=12&_format=with_conditions
For each ID and each day of the year from now until november 2017, i would like to extract the availability of this rooms (true or false) and its price at this day.
I can't figure out how to parse out these informations. I guess that it implies a series of nested forEach, but i can't find the right way to do this with Open Refine.
I've tried, of course,
forEach(value.parseJson().calendar_months, e, e.days)
The result is an array of arrays of dictionnaries that disrupts me.
Any help would be appreciate. If the operation is too difficult in Open Refine, a solution with R (or Python) would also be fine for me.
Rather than just creating your Project as text, and working with GREL to parse out...
The best way is just select the JSON record part that you want to work with using our visual importer wizard for JSON files and XML files (you can even use a URL pointing to a JSON file as in your example). (A video tutorial shows how here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUxdB-nl0Bw )
Select the JSON part that contains your records that you want to parse and work with (this can be any repeating part, just select one of them and OpenRefine will extract all the rest)
Limit the amount of data rows that you want to load in during creation, or leave default of all rows.
Click Create Project and now your in Rows mode. However if you think that Records mode might be better suited for context, just import the project again as JSON and then select the next outside area of the content, perhaps a larger array that contains a key field, etc. In the example, the key field would probably be the Date, and why I highlight the whole record for a given date. This way OpenRefine will have Keys for each record and Records mode lets you work with them better than Row mode.
Feel free to take this example and make it better and even more helpful for all , add it to our Wiki section on How to Use
I think you are on the right track. The output of:
forEach(value.parseJson().calendar_months, e, e.days)
is hard to read because OpenRefine and JSON both use square brackets to indicate arrays. What you are getting from this expression is an OR array containing twelve items (one for each month of the year). The items in the OR array are JSON - each one an array of days in the month.
To keep the steps manageable I'd suggest tackling it like this:
First use
forEach(value.parseJson().calendar_months,m,m.days).join("|")
You have to use 'join' because OR can't store OR arrays directly in a cell - it has to be a string.
Then use "Edit Cells->Split multi-valued cells" - this will get you 12 rows per ID, each containing a JSON expression. Now for each ID you have 12 rows in OR
Then use:
forEach(value.parseJson(),d,d).join("|")
This splits the JSON down into the individual days
Then use "Edit Cells->Split multi-valued cells" again to split the details for each day into its own cell.
Using the JSON from example URL above - this gives me 441 rows for the single ID - each contains the JSON describing the availability & price for a single day. At this point you can use the 'fill down' function on the ID column to fill in the ID for each of the rows.
You've now got some pretty easy JSON in each cell - so you can extract availability using
value.parseJson().available
etc.
I have a google chart and want to add a custom tooltip. I found some great answers like this this site and set about doing this with roles. I also found this link about it and it looked like the best way.
My data is being generated via json and I use a php file to create a json feed. The rows I have coded like this
{"cols": [ {"id":"","label":"Period","pattern":""},
{"id":"","label":"Recorded P/L","type":"number", "role":"data"} ,
{"id":"","label": null,"type":"string", "role":"tooltip"},
{"id":"","label":"Best Available P/L","type":"number", "role":"data"},
{"id":"","label": null,"type":"string", "role":"tooltip"}
]
Then it goes on and adds all the data. The problem is when I try to run this I get the error
All series on a given axis must be of the same data type
I have checked the json and that is formed correctly but am not sure what I could be doing wrong.
At least part of your problem is that you're not specifying the type for your first column.
