Obviously I am missing something obvious.



I have:



lis = {"a"}|{"b"}|{"c"}


but I want:



lis2 = "a"|"b"|"c"


Thanks as always for suggestions...

          Use lis[[All, 1]] or First /@ list. See Part and First.

            You can also Apply (@@@) Sequence at level 1:



            Sequence @@@ lis



            "a" | "b" | "c"




            or use ReplaceAll to replace List with Sequence: 



            lis /. List -> Sequence



            "a" | "b" | "c"

                              What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

                              Image
                              0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
