Basic calculation help

Hello,

 

I'm working on a dashboard that requires some calculations and I'm not that familiar with the best way to do it; 

 

  1. Table 1 - List of KPIs
    1. Service Name (unique)
    2. KPI for quantity of service name per FTE
  2. Table 2 - List of Config Items and related Service Name
    1. Config Item ID
    2. Customer
    3. Service Name

 

Report

So far I have a table as follows;

What I'd like to include is another column with the following formula;

 

Count of Unique ID (2a) / KPI for quantity of service name per FTE (1b) = FTE 

An example would be 
"ATM All instances L1-L3" of 46 / "KPI for quantity of service name per FTE" of 100 = 0.46 FTE

 

I'm not sure where to create this formula or how. Any suggestions would help!

Measure like this:

FTE_Measure = CALCULATE( DIVIDE ( DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table 2'[ConfigItemID]), MAX('Table 1'[KPI_FTE])))


Model like this:

So the formula worked as expected one way, but the totals dont seem to work right. Any idea how I can fix this so it just sums the figures above? Total shows 0.19 whereas it should be something like 300.

Hi, @Anonymous 
Try modify it like this:

FTE_Measure = IF(ISFILTERED('Your Table'), (CALCULATE( DIVIDE ( DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table 2'[ConfigItemID]), MAX('Table 1'[KPI_FTE])))), SUM('Table'[ColumnForSum]))​​

Use your own tables and column
