This question already has an answer here:




  • How do I create a variable number of variables?

    15 answers




e.g.



r2 = '192.168.122.72'

r3 = '192.168.122.73'

hostnames = [r2,r3]

#commands = ['term len 0','show run']

for r in hostnames:

    print (r)

    print (hostnames)

    print str(r)


Output of this is....



192.168.122.72

['192.168.122.72', '192.168.122.73']

192.168.122.72

192.168.122.73

['192.168.122.72', '192.168.122.73']

192.168.122.73


I actually want to see an output that will say the items literal text, not its value, so i actually want to see this.......



r2

r3


Ultimately, want to create a file that is the name of the router, not its IP.



Thank you in advance!

    You can't. Variable names refer to values unidirectionally. Use a dictionary mapping IPs to names (or vice versa) and then iterate over the dicts items attribute.

  • It is the programmers job to properly organize your code if you want to associate a string to some other value. Variables are not strings, they are source code. You should use a dict.

This is not possible. You have to use a dictionary for that.



Example:



r2 = '192.168.122.72'

r3 = '192.168.122.73'

hostnames = {'r2':r2,'r3':r3}

#commands = ['term len 0','show run']

for r in hostnames:

    print (r)

    print (hostnames)

    print str(r)

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?
