Li­ga­tured glyphs vs. Words [on hold]

When two let­ters are joined as a lig­a­ture, I un­der­stand they are con­sid­ered
to be one in­di­vid­u­al glyph. I al­so un­der­stand that let­ters on their own like D
or S are con­sid­ered nouns or words.



When con­nect­ing two let­ters or
graphemes with a lig­a­ture as one glyph, is the glyph con­sid­ered one word as
D and S are, or two?



When are lig­a­tured let­ters con­sid­ered their own
char­ac­ters, and when is a lig­a­tured glyph con­sid­ered two let­ters even
though it is called one “glyph”?



When they are joined, are these lig­a­ture
glyphs named as D and S are, so as “dee” and “ess”?



I have found that all the letters in the alphabet are nouns in the dictionary, yet in the form of ligatures I have not found if these ligatures are considered one word or two words of each letter of the ligature as the ligature is called one glyph,

  • When two letters or glyphs are joined into one glyph as a ligature, is this glyph considered two letters or one, since letters on their own are considered words as D and S, when two letters are joined as one glyph, does this glyph have a name and is it considered a word?

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?

How to ignore python UserWarning in pytest?

up vote 1 down vote favorite I am using openpyxl for parsing .xlsm files, and pytest for testing. 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 other way than using something like: with pytest.warns(UserWarning): ...
