Allocate grand total of overhead cost to each job per number of days

I have a list of Job numbers that have income and expense (cost) dollars amounts for each. There are several revenue catagories and several expense catagories. For the expense catagories there a 5 that are direct cost items to the jobs but the 6th catagory is an overhead cost. Each job has a number of days (not dates) assiciated to each job that represent start to completion total. What I am trying to do is take the grand total of the overhead cost for all jobs then divide it by the grand total of days for all jobs, giving me a cost per day standard rate. Once I get the cost per day standard rate I want to multiple it by the number of days for the job to give me a standard overhead cost per day for the job. I am using Excel 2016 with Power Pivot using two table that are generated from datasource from two SQL view (SQL2008R2)

HI @rdelamater46

 

Sounds do-able.  Any chance you can mock up some sample data so we can have a crack at suggesting calcuations you can use?

I have some same data ready for you but this is my first time so I do not know how to get it to you. Thanks for you help!

@rdelamater46,

 

You may try to create a calculated table first.
