Hi all,
May need your help in to solve an issue that i currently face . I am currently stuck and no idea if this is possible to do in PowerBI (currently doing it in excel and would like to automate the report ). I have a case where we need to monitor the loading for each machine that are assigned . So each job number will be having balance hours and days remaining for it to complete the job. I have created a calendar table that are connected to the job operation date. My main question is how do i generate hours (balancehours / days ) to get an output similar as below .
(above is the expected out but in excel .. the chart is based on week , i would like by date so that I can monitor by weekly , month and year)
I have few conditions also:
-The hours divided must be within job start date (JobOper_StartDate) and end date (JobDue_Duedate) .
-Job that are passed due date not need to generate and will go to backlog hours as shown in chart
So the expected output : We are able to sum the total hours divided based on date , month and also based on machine(resource) .
Here are sample data for factory loading :
| Calculated_BalanceHrs | Days | Job Num | JobOper_Startdate | JobOper_DueDate | Resource |

Thanks in Advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for the input but what i am missing was another step .Issue with above it will not show the exact divided hours by day. The solution that I found is I use List and I generate row using Power Query .This will generate row based on start and due date .
List.Select(List.Dates([JobOper_StartDate], Duration.Days([JobOper_DueDate] - [JobOper_StartDate]) + 1, #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)), each Date.DayOfWeek(_) >= 0 and Date.DayOfWeek(_) <= 4)
(this list will also exclude weekend)
And after that I just divided by hours and it will show by day, month and week.
Hi @Anonymous ok, to be precise as much as possible, please provide sample output from your table above or you just need simple division for "calculated balancehours/days) "?

Hi @some_bih, My goal is to divide the calculate balance hours from job start date and due date ( i get the days from deducting from these dates) and plot a chart based on date. If i do a simple divide i would not get the divided hours on the days between start date and due date.
@Anonymous to provide some possible solution please provide expected output from your sample data.

hi @some_bih , i have updated the post with the expected output . Basically the table in excel (below the chart) is what i what i want the output . In the expected output is by week . But i want it by date(daily) so that I can plot a chart monthly.
Hi @Anonymous based on your sample data I created calculated column
Adjust Sheet 2 to your table name and created two simple measure

Hi @Anonymous to calculate difference in HOURS, DAYS, or other time frame in DAX there is function DATEDIFF. Check link for example and choose your time frame. Hope this help

Hi @some_bih , what i want to produce is the divided hours(calculated balancehours/days) based on the job start date and due date and able to plot into bar chart based on dates and resource
