Calculate hours from count of days in month

[Scaffnull]

Hi,

I have total hours of work for each month this year. I would like to create a formula to have -

Total Hours / CountDaysInMonth / 12.

So let's say I have 3000 hours in January, I'd like to have a way to calculate it - 3000 / 31 / 12.

Just having a hard time figuring out how I should have it count the days of the month. I have a Date table that is connected in the Model that has Month Name and DayInWeek.

Thanks for any help!

Hi @Scaffnull 

You could add a new column to the date table to store number of days in the month.

Here's some DAX to do that.  You could do it in Power Query / M if you prefer.

Days in Month = 
VAR _Month = MONTH('Date'[Date])
VAR _Year = YEAR('Date'[Date])
VAR _Result = 
CALCULATE(
    DAY(MAX('Date'[Date])),
    FILTER('Date',
        MONTH('Date'[Date]) = _Month && YEAR('Date'[Date]) = _Year
    )
)
RETURN
    _Result

@PaulOlding It solved it. It didn't work on my data table, but for the date table it worked like a charm. I had a month column in my data table so I just created a new column in my data table and made it related to the "Days in Month" column. Thanks again!
