Hello powerBI friends; I'm hoping somebody might be able to help with this.
I have visualisations and tables which are looking at the numbers of individuals in categories (ethnicity for example). There are 2 relevant ways of counting people - FTE (full-time equivilant, e.g. somebody working part time may be 0.5; full time would be 1.0) and headcount (one person = 1 regardless of work pattern). Rather than putting 2 graphs, 2 tables etc. on every page, i'd like the user to be able to switch between measures - can you think of the best way to do this?
Many thanks 🙂

Hi @Anonymous ,
So you wanna count the total working time and numbers of people?Could you provide some sample data with expected output?
Best Regards,
Kelly

Many thanks for your help; this would have been the perfect solution if I wasn't in a live connection! I've put a quick and dirty workaround in place with duplicate reports using a contents page split between FTE and headcount reports. Thanks again!
