          In the first row,




          The number in the middle circle is the sum of the numbers in the left and right circles in the same positions.




          In the second row,




          The number in the middle circle is the difference between the numbers in the left and right circles in the same positions. It does not matter which is subtracting from which, it is the absolute difference.

            If we number the circles as follow:

            First row A B C

            Second row D E F

            On the first row we get for each corresponding sector B(n) = A(n) + C(n)

            namely: 5 = 2 + 3, 7 = 6 + 1, etc.

            On the second row the rule seems to change to alternating D(n) - E(n) = F(n)

            and in the next segment D(n+1) + E(n+1) = F(n+1)

            Starting from top left we get 7 - 1 = 6, 1 + 4 = 5, 8 - 6 = 2, 2 + ? = 9

            Which leads us to ? = 7

            • Your answer was invisible when I answered. I'd like to point out, however, that the answer that I have provided is simpler and the rule for the second row more closely matches the rule for the first row. +1 anyway

                    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?

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): ...
