I want to get some different reports and charts from Tfs activities and history (most based on task tags and assigned users). for example after 3 monthes I want to know how many hours a user moved her tasks to next iteration, ...
Is there any tools for this?
No such a tool can exactly achieve that. There is an extension Team Capacity Management, but seems it's not apply for you.
If you want to know how many hours a user moved her tasks to next iteration, then you need to get the planned hours then subtract the completed hours in current iteration. Alternatively you can add tags on the work items which moved to the next iteration, then create a query which filter by the tags to get the sum of hours.
e.g.:
Create a query 'RemainingWork' with the column Assigned
to and Remaining Work added in "next iteration" (e.g.: iteration
2 here) to filter the moved work items from pervious iteration with the tag.
Save it in Shared queries
Add Chart for Work items widget in your project dashborad, then
configure the widget. Then you can see the hours a user moved tasks
to next iteration in the chart:

I get data from our CMS that shows all actions of staff within that system.
My challenge is to be able to show in a chart only the first iteration of each story as published and the hour in which it occurred.
A single story can be published multiple times during a day.
Using countuniquesif I can get the number of unique stories per hour by using:
=COUNTUNIQUEIFS(Sheet0!I2:I60000,Sheet0!G2:G60000,"NL_Stories/Ready",Sheet0!E2:E60000,"Webpub",Sheet0!B2:B60000,"08")
=COUNTUNIQUEIFS(Sheet0!I2:I60000,Sheet0!G2:G60000,"NL_Stories/Ready",Sheet0!E2:E60000,"Webpub",Sheet0!B2:B60000,"09")
Etc
However, if that story is published in the period from 8am-9am (08 in column B), if it is published again between 9am-10am (09 in column B) it will be counted again.
How can I limit this to just the first time it is published and excluded in any of the other hours.
I have attached a spreadsheet with two tabs, one with the raw data and two with what I currently do.
Any assistance appreciated

I have a TFS query that pulls in data from recent sprints, in order to display a chart on our dashboard. However, as documented:
When a chart contains more than seven items within the data series, values in the eight-plus items are consolidated into a set labeled "other"
This is exactly what happens with us. The first few Iterations on the chart are static, and as every Iteration passes by, the "Other" row increases.
How can I alter my query to only pull in the last seven iterations? I can't do something like Iteration ID >= #Current Iteration - 6 because #Current Iteration is supported only for Iteration Path, not Iteration ID.
There isn't any way to achieve this through in TFS for now.
However for VSTS, it's added now.
The deployment of this feature to all VSTS accounts is now complete.
You can find full details in our Release Notes
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/release-notes/2018/mar-05-vsts#query-work-across-the-iteration-schedule-with---currentiteration).
TFS customers can look forward to the feature in a future feature
update.

Query work across the iteration schedule with +/- #CurrentIteration
The #CurrentIteration macro that helps your team track work based on your iteration schedule now supports integer offset. Easily keep tabs on the work that didn’t get closed with #CurrentIteration - 1, or look ahead at the work planned for future iterations with #CurrentIteration + 1. See the #CurrentIteration post on the Microsoft DevOps Blog for more information.
Update:
Logical expression: Work Item Type = any And State= any AND (Iteration= CurrentIteration OR Iteration= CurrentIteration-1 OR...)
Working on updating the Dashboard in TFS for a new sprint. I have a chart which shows a "Chart for Work Items" widget with a "Stacked area" chart of all the stories which is stacked by "state". Then, I have the stories plotted using "Aggregation" and "sum" along with "Effort". This worked in the previous sprint. For the current sprint the Configuration area doesn't show "sum" anymore just "count". Showing number of stories isn't as meaningful as number of story point (effort).
(I thought perhaps the stories on my current sprint were generated with a different template and this is what broke the query or configuration tool for the plot. But I moved a story from previous sprint and let it be the only one in the current sprint and that did not work.)
The current version of TFS I'm running is "Version 15.117.27024.0"
Previous sprint (works)
Current sprint (does not allow selecting Sum)
The problem is that you didn't select the appropriated Column Options which are available for Sum action.
Just check the query "Sprint9", make sure you have selected the columns such as: Effort, Remaining work, Completed work etc which are available for Sum action.
In VSTS Column Options aren't just what columns you see on the query page - they reflect fields can be used by the query too.
Open the Column Options menu:
Select Add Column and select field relevant, i.e, Story Points:
In TFS 2008, I'd like to be able to create a pivot table/chart to show the difference in a specific field between two given points in time. The reason is we put our initial estimates in at the beginning and then update it to the total number of hours we did against the item when we finish. An obvious answer to this, would be two separate fields, one for initial and one for final, but that isn't how it was set up, so the only way I can pull the data is querying against the history of the work item.
I am up for writing a custom SQL query or updating the cube with a new perspective if necessary, but ideally, I'd like to just pull it together with the TFS cube into excel 2007. I was looking at the Work Item History perspective, but I'm just not seeing anything close enough in there.
The Work Item history in the TFS cube indeed exposes the state of the work item fields over time. You can just select the start and end point in the pivot table connected to the cube datasource as the row or column. On the other axis, select the field you want to display. The values in the table will show the values for the fields in both points in time.
I need to produce a report, similar to the Unplanned Work report included with the MS Agile Process Template, but which lists me all work items which were added to an iteration after a given date.
The work item may have already been created before that date, so I can't used the created date.
Can anyone give any guidance on how I can go about this? If I can achieve it in Excel then that would be perfect...
Thanks.
Ok, took some work. Interesting enough though to put some effort in it ...
First screenshot is a Pivot table connected to the Analysis Cube. The most left colum shows the ID of a workitem. The second column shows the ChangeDate. In the row header I have included every iteration that I am interested in. What you see happening in the Excel sheet is items moving from one sprint to the other. For example, workitem 27 was created for iteration 1 at 14-3-2011. On 13-4-2011 it was moved to iteration 2. On 12-5-2011 it was moved to iteration 3. etc.
If I narrow down the filter to a specific iteration I actually see items entering the iteration and leaving the iteration. If I also change the ChangeDate filter, I can focus on items entering after a specific date, as you requested. Again, you can see item 27 enter iteration 2 at 13-4 and leave at 12-5. You can juggle around with the columns to get the view you want.
Finally, the options I used to get this view from TFS.
Hope this exceeds your expectations :-)
