Calculating Utilisation Rate
Hi All, I am trying to calculate a utilisation rate which has the following formulate: Utilisation = Days Rented/Available Days What I am finding funny is that for each individual...
It looks like the "Available Days" column is aggregating incorrectly. I plugged some of the sample data into an excel workbook at the grain I see in this table:
I then just used your model for Utilization:
Utilization = SUM(Sheet1[Days Rented]) / SUM(Sheet1[Available Days])
When I put all of this in a table, it looks correct on my end:
You can see in the image you provided that your Available Days only sums to 365, which is why your % value is so large. Is your data structured differently than what I provided above? Fixing how that value is summed is going to be the trick here I think.
Hi,
Out data model is different as it Counts the Rental Agreements in the Rental Agreements Granular table and based on the Month of the Rental PowerBI is obtaining the Available Days from the Date_table by counting the number of days in that particular month.
Utilisation is basically being worked out as follows COUNT(Rental_Agreement)/COUNT(Rental_Date) i.e. Days Rented/DaysAvailable.
What PowerBI is counting the total number of the rows instead of summing the available days.
Thanks,
Jake
