I'm trying to present a equation in this way



Example of Table



I don't know if it's the best way to present this information, but i got that example from a reference guide.

          i suspect that you looking for the following:



          enter image description here



          documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
          
usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
          
usepackage{array,multirow}
          

          
usepackage{lipsum}
          
begin{document}
          
lipsum[66]
          
    [setlengthextrarowheight{1pt}
          
begin{tabular}{r c >{$}r<{$:} l}
          
multirow[t]{3}{*}{$
          
Q_r=dfrac{W}{gammatimes t}
          
                  $}    & where & W         & Weight \
          
                        &       & gamma    & Specific weight\
          
                        &       & t         & Average time
          
end{tabular}
          
    ]
          
lipsum[66]

            [ and ] are delimiters for math environment (equivalent for begin{equation*} and end{equation}. with setlengthextrarowheight{1pt} is added vertical space of 1pt above cells' contents. you can omit this space, if you like to have more dense text in tabular.

          Here's a solution that uses a single array environment.



          enter image description here



          documentclass{article}
          
usepackage{amsmath,array}
          
newcolumntype{L}{>{$}l<{$}}
          
begin{document}
          
[
          
Q_r=frac{W}{gammatimes t} qquadtext{where}qquad
          
begin{array}[t]{@{} r<{colon} L @{}}
          
   W      & Weight \
          
   gamma & Specific weight\
          
   t      & Average time
          
end{array}
          
]
          
end{document}

            I read this post and got this



            documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
            
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
            
usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
            
begin{document}
            
begin{tabular}{rcl}
            
$Q_r=dfrac{W}{gamma times t}$& where & begin{tabular}{rl}
            
&\
            
&\
            
$W$:&Weight\
            
$gamma$:&Specific weight\
            
$t$:&Average time
            
end{tabular}
            
end{tabular}
            
end{document}


            But this creates a space above the table. I could add a vspace{-0.5cm} before the table.

                      But this creates a space above the table. I could add a vspace{-0.5cm} before the table.

                              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?

When I open a file, I get the: OpenPyxl -> UserWarning: Data Validation extension is not supported and will be removed That is not really a problem bcs. program works and I can't change the .xlsm file to fix that. But... When I run pytest with something like: def test_wrong_file_format(): assert check_excel(open_excel('file.xlsm')) == True I will get the warning i mentioned altought check_excel(open_excel('file.xlsm')) returns True and the test should suceed... Is there a nice way to tell the pytest that "It's not a bug it's a feature" and tests should pass even when they get this warning? Is there other way than using something like: with pytest.warns(UserWarning): ...
