Calculating capacity utilization across a team

Good afternoon,

 

I am new to Power BI but quite experienced at Excel - I need a quick hand to better wrap my mind around the intricacies of PowerBI.

 

I am looking to calculate capacity utilization for a set of resources in a team. Capacity utilization is calculated as (billable time / total time). 

 

Let's assume I have the following data:

 

PeriodResourceTotal TimeBillable Time
JanuaryJack103
JanuaryJill152
FebruaryJack103
FebruaryJill157
MarchJack109
MarchJill157
AprilJack109
AprilJill159

 

I am looking to automate a drill down from one number for the entire team for the entire year (total utilization rate for Jack & Jill for January - April, which would be 49 / 100) to a number for the team by month (5 / 25 for January, 10 / 25 for February, 16 / 25 for March, 18 / 25 for April) to a number by individual by month 30% for Jack in January, etc.).

 

It seems rather straightforward, but somehow, I am coming up short.

 

Thank you for your help,

 

Philippe

@MtlPhil,

 

You may use Matrix visual, drag [Period] and [Resource] to Rows and add measure below.

Measure =
DIVIDE ( SUM ( Table1[Billable Time] ), SUM ( Table1[Total Time] ) )
