Creating a shift model

Anonymous — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 20:29:28 GMT

I analyse user numbers, and I would like to divide the work day into early (6 am- 2 pm), late (2 pm- 10 pm) and night shifts (10 pm- 6 am). Creating the night shift is no problem because it runs every weekday from 10pm - 6 am. IIt is difficult for me to create the early and late shift, because they change every week. In calendar week 48 group A has the early shift (6 am- 14 pm) and group B the late shift (2 pm- 10 pm). In calendar week 49 group B has the early shift and group A the late shift and so on.

I would be very grateful for helpful tips!

Hard to be specific without source data. But, if you created an hours table like this:

R06_Table = VAR __Hours = SELECTCOLUMNS( GENERATESERIES(1 , 12 , 1), "Hour", [Value] & ":00:00 " ) VAR __Period = SELECTCOLUMNS( { ("AM"),("PM") }, "AM/PM", [Value] ) VAR __HoursAMPM = GENERATEALL(__Hours, __Period) VAR __Final = SELECTCOLUMNS( ADDCOLUMNS( __HoursAMPM, "Time", TIMEVALUE([Hour] & [AM/PM]) ), "Time", CONVERT(TODAY() & " " & [Time], DATETIME) ) RETURN __Final

You could create a Shift column like this:

Shift = VAR __1stBegin = 9 VAR __2ndBegin = 17 VAR __3rdBegin = 1 VAR __Time = TIMEVALUE('R06_Table'[Time]) VAR __Hour = HOUR(__Time) RETURN SWITCH(TRUE(), __Hour >= __1stBegin && __Hour < __2ndBegin,"First", __Hour >= __2ndBegin || __Hour < __3rdBegin,"Second", "Third" )

My Data looks like this (each row is a user):

My Conditional Column looks like this:

This is ok but I need to adjust the weekly change from the early and late shift group.
