Hi
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
