ATTEMPT 1 ---
Adjustments made in power query: Group by 'Employee ID'
I set up two measurements:
However, I am not able to filter by date with slicer because I grouped the information in power query and my date is not longer an option in the data.
ATTEMPT 2 ---
Adjustments made in power query: Group by 'Employee ID', and 'Date'
Visuals updated...no longer accurate. I only have 5 employees in my data.
ATTEMPT 3 ---
This is where I am stuck. It seems like attempt 3 will provide me the option to slice by date but I am lost on how to create the measurements. When I follow the same measurements above, adjusting for column names, I receive errors.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
I tried to create a datamodel like below.
I hope the below can provide some ideas on how to create a solution for your datamodel.
Count employee with 1 or more login: =
VAR _t =
ADDCOLUMNS (
VALUES ( Employee[Employee ID] ),
"@logincount", CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Data ) )
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( _t, [@logincount] >= 1 ) )
Percentage employee with 3 or more login: =
VAR _employeecount =
COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Employee[Employee ID] ) )
VAR _t =
ADDCOLUMNS (
VALUES ( Employee[Employee ID] ),
"@logincount", CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Data ) )
)
VAR _threeormore =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( _t, [@logincount] >= 3 ) )
RETURN
DIVIDE ( _threeormore, _employeecount )
