Working Hours Formula Not Working
- Anonymous4 years ago
rosemilo , that is one hell of a complicated measure! I have taken the liberty of re-writing it in a way that I can understand. Here is my attempt which is hopefully easier to understand.
Working Hours = // Get the CreatedDate as just YYYYMMDD VAR vCreatedDate = DATE( YEAR('Table'[CreatedDate]), MONTH('Table'[CreatedDate]), DAY('Table'[CreatedDate]) ) // Get the ClosedDate as just YYYYMMDD VAR vClosedDate = DATE( YEAR('Table'[ClosedDate]), MONTH('Table'[ClosedDate]), DAY('Table'[ClosedDate]) ) RETURN IF(NOT ISBLANK('Table'[CreatedDate]) && NOT(ISBLANK('Table'[ClosedDate])), // Get all MNL Working Days between CreatedDate and ClosedDate SUMX( FILTER( 'Date', 'Date'[Date] >= vCreatedDate && 'Date'[Date] <= vClosedDate && 'Date'[WorkDay MNL] = TRUE() ), // Get the working start time for this day and region VAR vStartTimeWorkingHours = SWITCH('Table'[Region], "AMERICAS", 'Date'[Date] + TIME(15, 0, 0), "APAC", 'Date'[Date] + TIME(9, 0, 0) ) // Get the working end time for this day and region VAR vEndTimeWorkingHours = SWITCH('Table'[Region], "AMERICAS", 'Date'[Date] + TIME(23, 59, 59), "APAC", 'Date'[Date] + TIME(18, 0, 0) ) // Work out the appropriate StartTime for this day VAR vStartTimeToUse = IF( vStartTimeWorkingHours < 'Table'[CreatedDate], 'Table'[CreatedDate], vStartTimeWorkingHours ) // Work out the appropriate EndTime for this day VAR vEndTimeToUse = IF( vEndTimeWorkingHours > 'Table'[ClosedDate], 'Table'[ClosedDate], vEndTimeWorkingHours ) // Get the duration in minutes (only when EndTime > StartTime) VAR vWorkingMinutesDuration = IF( vEndTimeToUse > vStartTimeToUse, DATEDIFF(vStartTimeToUse, vEndTimeToUse, MINUTE) ) // Return the duration in hours RETURN vWorkingMinutesDuration / 60.0 ) )What it does is:
- For each row in 'Table', loop through rows in 'Date' table that are between CreatedDate and ClosedDate, and that have [Workday MNL] = TRUE
- For each day, work out the start and end working times, taking into account the region
- Get the minutes between the start and end working times
- Divide that by 60 to get working hours
- SUMX the working hours
It seems to give the correct results, but unfortunately is seems to be quite slow. With your sample PBIX file, it takes about 2 minutes to calculate the new column. I leave it as an excercise for others to improve the speed!
And I'm not sure how the table 'Holidays and Weekends' fits into the calculation, as your measure does not seem to refer to that table at all.

Looks better now
tamerj1 , I think your measure is returning incorrect results. For example, for the row with:
CreatedDate = 31/12/2021 13:02
ClosedDate = 31/12/2021 22:59
Region = AMERICAS
The Working Hours should be:
from 15:00 to 22:59
= 479 minutes /60
= 7.98 hours
Your measure returns 4.95 hours
