Calendar value

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a report that i need to create.

i have an excel file with a series of questions.

 

Example:

 

Question 1: Enter the duration of the challenge. User chooses two date fields (1 Jan 2022 ) to ( 4th Mar 2022 )

Question 1a : Enter the rating of the challenge. User enters low moderate high (or 1, 2, 3)

 

What i need to solve in Power BI.

 

I need to then for Jan, Feb, Mar for Question 1: give it a consistent score so

 

Jan-1, Feb-1 Mar-1 (if user chooses low)

 

I then have 10 other questions. and then i need to sum all scores in the column and take an average so i can build a heatmap

 

What do i need to do?

- create a calendar table first?

- link the question table to the calendar tabl?

 

thanks

    hehehe, is this a job-related exercise? I believe it's to allow you to think it through and use your creativity to find a solution. What have you attempted already? And what hasn't worked?

      Hi ChadSmith22 ,

       

      You would likely need to build two disconnected dimension tables, one for your dates and one for your choices. You'll also need to build fact table that captures the user inputs.

       

      Honestly, it's a bit hard to visualize the requirement without understanding the full picture of the problem statement.
