Calculate allocation percentage based on the days within a range

Hi All,

 

I want to create a table visualization, with name of each employee and allocation percentage by month (Within the range of start date and end date).

Output table with – Employeename, Month and allocation percentage à ability to slice by month.

Also, if possible, view the allocation by year or YTD

 

I have three tables in my model –

 

Dim_date – date columns

Dim employee – Name, country  and first working date,

Fact_project allocation – empname, startdate, end date , allocation perc( value from 0.1 to 1)

 

I have attached sample data for reference, please suggest.

So as an output - 

empnamemonthallocationPerc
RockyDec 202250%
RockyJan 2022100%
RockyFeb 2022100%

Dec 2022 - 50% Because only 15days are allocated in that month. 
And so on ..!! 

..

Thank you .

Hi @MartinAa ,

 

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) My test data is the same as yours.

(2) We can create a table.

Output = 
var _a = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[start_date]),MAX('Table'[end_date])),"Month",FORMAT([Date],"MMM YYYY"))
var _b = CROSSJOIN(VALUES('Table'[empname]),_a)
var _c = ADDCOLUMNS(_b,"FFlag",SUMX(ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table',[empname]=EARLIER('Table'[empname])),"Flag",IF([Date]>=[start_date]&&[Date]<=[end_date],1,0)),[Flag]))
var _d = SUMMARIZE(_c,'Table'[empname],[Month],"allocationPerc",DIVIDE(COUNTX(FILTER(_c,[empname]=EARLIER('Table'[empname])&&[Month]=EARLIER([Month])&&[FFlag]<>0),[FFlag]),MAXX(FILTER(_a,[Month]=EARLIER([Month])),DAY(EOMONTH([Date],0)))))
return FILTER(_d,[allocationPerc]<>0)

(3) Then the result is as follows.
