I checked "report" and "report to" with the dictionaries and over the Internet. But didn't find any satisfactory meaning matching this example. So it's still nonsense to me.
Here is the example:




Hi Yury, thanks for the connect! Wanted to reach out as I lead a team
that places .NET Developers here in the DC area, we have done work
with SuperFlower in the past in terms of staffing and have a signed
agreement by John Smith. Saw there was a .NET role posted on the
website, does that report to you? Sophie




So what did she mean by "to report to"?

Upon first reading this I thought it might be an incorrect usage of the word. If the author did mean "report to," in this context she is asking whether or not the .NET role is a position to which you are the superior.

  • When "someone reports to someone" it's clear to me - pretty common usage (boss-subordinate). But I got confused when "something reports to someone". But in this example by "something reports to someone" she actually meant "(someone performing) something reports to someone". I guess the dictionaries need to be extended with that meaning/usage.

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?
