hi all,
hope you are well.
I have a somewhat strange question about a request from a client.
In brief I have a whole report built on room attendance where the dataset is very granular: at every 15 minutes of an hour it shows if a room is occupied or not. Attached an example of two rooms and time between 8:00AM and 9:30 AM
I have built my measures to calculate the % in the following way and the report does its jobs. The user can filter for different variables (location/room data)and visualize the percentage overtime / by location etc.
You could replace the measures in your visuals by measures that only return a value if utilization is >80%. Otherwise the measure returns blank and the rooms disappear.
occupied block >80% = IF ( [% utilization] > .8, [occupied block] )
total blocks >80% = IF ( [% utilization] > .8, [total blocks] )
% utilization >80% = IF ( [% utilization] > .8, [% utilization] )
If you want to have this dynamic, with a report level filter, you can create a what-if parameter, put the parameter in the report level filter, an replace .8 with the parameter value in the formulas.
I'd create a parameter 0..100, step 1, default -1 and replace .8 with DIVIDE([Parameter Value], 100)
