Measure that divides a value from another table, with a sum from another table

Hello,


I have a problem which I'm having problems getting my head around, which I am hoping for any inputs on.

 

I have two tables. One date table with available hours for a given month, and another table containing "executed hours" for a given month per employee and performed task. See examples below. 

 

Executed hours                                                            Date table                                 Wanted output

table 1.PNGtable 2.PNGtable 3.PNG

 

The wanted output is a table that show the number of full time employees for a given month. If any employee has worked over the avaible hours for a respective month it rounded down to 1, whilst if exected hours is below available hours I want the fraction (as shown for employee 2 in januar).

 

I have managed all the numbers right, apart from the totals (totalsum) which still eludes.

 

Hopefully this makes sense.


Thank you for your time!

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Wow, thank you so much Greg!

 

The measure provided in this link, https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Measure-Totals-The-Final-Word/td-p/547907, did exactly what I was looking for.

 

I'm a beginner, and to be honest to formula below does not make much sense to me with the underscores and value/table references, even though it worked perfectly.

 

m_Total 1 = 
VAR __table = SUMMARIZE('Table1',[Name],"__value",[m_Single])
RETURN
IF(HASONEVALUE(Table1[Name]),[m_Single],SUMX(__table,[__value]))

 

Do you have any recommendations on resources I could look into in order to better grasp the meaning of this?

 

Again, thank you so much!
