Hi tanmaym93 ，

 

I am not sure I have understood what you mean.

so this HC value doesn't the actual data?

and this is the new HC value which needs to be calculated average value?

If it is convenient for you, you can send me a sample data

Hi Selina - My apologies for any confusion,

 

Here is the redacted data subset from my PBI data table.

 

 

Basically, I have appended 2 sets of data - 1 is the Headcount report and 1 is the Exit report.

I have then added a column called HC_New which returns the value of 1 if the row comes from the Headcount report and 0 if not.

Similarly I have added a column called Exit_New which returns the value of 1 if the row comes from the Exit report and 0 if not.

Using this, I have sumof HC_New which gives me the month on month HC total..

and sumof Exit_new which gives me the month on month Exit total...

 

Best Regards

Tanmay Mukherjee

    Hi tanmaym93 ，

     

    Thank you for your detailed description, I now have a general understanding of the construction of your table, can you please tell me more about the specific calculations you are currently trying to complete?For example, what data do you want to use to get a result?

      Hi Selina - Great! So now, in terms of what data I would like to use - I am using the HC_New & Exit_New fields to calculate my results.....

       

       

       

       

      My table visualization looks like this and I am looking to add 2 more columns to this table - Cumulative Avg Headcount (as per my initial post) & YTD%:

       

      YTD% will be Cumulative Exit/Cumulative Average Headcount.

       

      I am not sure, but does this help?

       

      Thanks & Best Regards

        Hi tanmaym93 ,

         

        Sorry for the late reply, thank you for your very clear description this time ~ it made me understand what you want to achieve.🤗

         

        Did you get your problem solved?

         

        I wonder if it would be convenient for you to give me a sample data or preferably a PBIX file (without private information), so that it would be easier for me to do the calculation for you.
