Deutsche Version Formeln mit einem Datumsfeld lassen sich in Project leicht erstellen. Wenn dabei ein Datumsfeld geprüft werden soll, das potentiell keinen Wert enthält, lässt sich das in der deutschen Version mit einer Prüfung auf „NV" (Nicht verfügbar) abprüfen. Das kann zum Beispiel bei einem Vergleich mit einem Basisplandatum wie Geplantes Ende der Fall sein. Folgende Formel zeigt im Feld Text1 „Kein Basisplan" an, wenn für den Vorgang noch kein Basisplan festgelegt wurde. Dabei wird „NV" mit „ProjDateValue(“NV”)=[Geplantes Ende]" in ein Project-Datumfeld konvertiert, um mit dem Wert in Geplantes Ende vergleichen zu können. ...

A very quick tip today: When using an Azure Logic App in combination with an Azure SQL Database, filtering rows can be done like here. As example: A T-SQL query as this one… SELECT - FROM [dbo].[Customers] WHERE [StorageDataSentDate] IS NULL ORDER BY [Id] …will be formulated as filter expression with an OData query as here. The definition for the Get_rows_(V2) action looks similar as here: … "Get_rows_(V2)": { "inputs": { "host": {"connection": {"name": "@parameters('$connections')['sql']['connectionId']"} }, "method": "get", "path": "/v2/datasets/@{encodeURIComponent(encodeURIComponent('[someserver].database.windows.net'))}, @{encodeURIComponent(encodeURIComponent('governancetoolkit365'))}/tables/ @{encodeURIComponent(encodeURIComponent('[dbo].[Customers]'))}/items", "queries": {"$filter": "(StorageDataSentDate eq null)", $orderby": "Id"} }, "runAfter": {"Initialize_variable": ["Succeeded"]}, "runtimeConfiguration": { "paginationPolicy": {"minimumItemCount": 5} }, "type": "ApiConnection" }, … Depending on the data size, remember to configure pagination. ...

Working with Azure SQL Databases is handy. Just, how can I copy data from one Azure SQL database to another database? See the best practice here. I had such a use case. I needed to copy a table (all rows) from a source database to a destination database with SQL Management Studio. The table did not have much data, but extensive data with varchar(MAX) fields containing HTML and Base64 encoded images. So, a copy in the edit mode via clipboard did not work. ...
