Hi,
I have machine utilization data with follwoing columns:
ID, Date, Category, Idle Hrs, Work Hrs, Total Hrs, Expected Hrs, Productive Hrs, Non Productive Hrs, Hrly Rate, Total Cost
I want to create a bar chart to show Category on X axis and Total Cost on Y axis.
I then want to create a filter so user can select how to calculate Total Cost - wether it is based on Work Hrs or Total Hrs column.
If Work Hrs is selected then:
Non Productive Hrs = Expected Hrs - Work Hrs
Total Cost = Non Productive Hrs x Hrly Rate
If Total Hrs is selected then:
Non Productive Hrs = Expected Hrs - Total Hrs
Total Cost = Non Productive Hrs x Hrly Rate
If someone could guide on how to do this, it would be a great help!
Thank you.
Thank you @amitchandak for your suggestion.
I shall give this a try and see how it goes..! One other question though, how would the new measure impact the performance? Considering the table may have approx 1million rows?
Thanks again.
@-VIP- Create a table with those two values Work Hrs and Total Hrs and use as slicer
then create a measure
Switch(selectedvalue(Slicer[Value]) ,
"Work Hours" , Sum([Expected Hrs]) - Sum([Work Hrs]) ,
"TotalHours" , Sum([Expected Hrs]) - Sum([Total Hrs])
)
Like an old measure slicer technique
