Expected hours per day

metcala — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 10:45:40 GMT

I am currently looking to write a DAX measure that looks at the expected hours per day vs recorded hours.

Data structure

Date

Date table

Resource

ID	Name	Role	Start Date	End Date	FTE

Time Record

ID	Name	Date	Activity	Hours

Names

Bridging table

Relationships

Date table is linked to Resource on start date and end date with inactive relationships

Date table linked to Time Record on date with active relationship

Time Record linked to Names with active relationship

Resource linked to Names with active relationship

Expected Outcome

	1/5/24	1/5/24	1/5/24	2/5/24	2/5/24	2/5/24	....
Name	Expected	Actual	Difference	Expected	Actual	Difference

Expected hours is 8 hours * FTE but only applies to week days which I wasn't sure how to approach.

This is the measure I've written so far for Expected Hours but it isn't quite working and isn't accounting for week days. Not quite sure where to start with the difference yet either.

Expected Hours =
SUMX(
  VALUES('Resource'[Name]),
  CALCULATE(
    SUMX('Resource',
      IF('Resource'[Start Date]<=TODAY() && ISBLANK('Resource'[End Date] && 'Resource'[Start Date]<MAX('Date'[Date]),
        'Resource'[FTE]*8,
      IF(IF('Resource'[Start Date]<=TODAY() && 'Resource'[End Date]>TODAY() && 'Resource'[Start Date]<MAX('Date'[Date]),
        'Resource'[FTE]*8,
        0)
      )
    )
  )
)

Any help would be very much appreciated!

lbendlin , thanks for your concern about this case, I have an addition to make to the content.

Hi metcala ,

If by weekdays you mean Monday to Friday, you can add the following filter to the formula:

NOT(WEEKDAY(MAX('Table'[Date]),2)) in {6,7}

If by weekdays you mean not only Monday to Friday but also the rest of the holidays, you can first use Enter data to create a table to collect the holiday information and add the following filter to the formula:

NOT(WEEKDAY(MAX('Table'[Date]),2)) in {6,7} && NOT(MAX('Table'[Date])) in SELECTCOLUMNS('Holidays_Table',"date",[Holidays])

If it doesn't meet your expectations, can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.

Best Regards,

Liu Yang
