Hi,
I have a BI report where I would like to compare production data with a daily target. I have a production colun which shows the production for each day. ALong with that, I have a datediff function which works very well with my slicer where
StartDate = CALCULATE ( MIN ( [Production Date ] ), ALLSELECTED ( [Production Date ] ) )
EndDate = CALCULATE ( MAX ( [Production Date ] ), ALLSELECTED ( Production Date ] ) )
DateDifff = CALCULATE (
DATEDIFF ([StartDate],[EndDate],DAY)
)
Then I have
Measure 4 = Value([DateDifff]) * x
Here, x will be a number representing my Daily Target.
The issue I am facing is that I don't do production everyday. In otherwords, on weekends and vacation days. My daily target should be 0. So I was thinking of doing something like
Measure 4 = (Value([DateDifff])-[Vacation_days]) * x
I am having trouble finding out how I can evaluate vacation days. Can I have another table which lists down every date? Or is there a way I can mention every Saturday to be an off day?
Any help would be highly appreciated
Yes, you need a date table and you need a column within that designates off days. (or IsWorkingDay column)
