Hi all,

 

I have the a table called "Plan" which looks like this:

ResourceNameDateTaskTotal Capacity Per Month
A1 January, 2022A147
A1 February, 2022B147
B1 March, 2022D161
B1 March, 2022A161
B1 March, 2022C161
C1 April, 2022A140
C1 April, 2022B140
C1 May, 2022C154
D1 May, 2022D154
E1 May, 2022B154

 

I am trying to add a column to it for unique capacity per month for each resource. So I am looking to have something like this:

ResourceNameDateTaskTotal Capacity Per MonthUnique Capacity Per Month
A1 January, 2022A147147
A1 February, 2022B147147
B1 March, 2022D161161
B1 March, 2022A1610
B1 March, 2022C1610
C1 April, 2022A140140
C1 April, 2022B1400
C1 May, 2022C154154
D1 May, 2022D154154
E1 May, 2022B154154

 

Thank you in advance for your help,

@Meiko ,  You need an index column for that. Add that in power query

new column in dax

if( [Index] = minx(filter(Table, [resourcename] = earlier([resourcename]) && [Date] = earlier([date]) ), [Index] ) ,[Total capacity per monnth], 0)

Thanks for this, but I am having a problem getting the index. I tried:

Index 1 = RANKX(Plan,Plan[Date],,ASC,Dense)
 
Grand Index = RANKX (
Plan,
Plan[Index 1]
+ RANKX ( Plan, Plan[ResourceName],, ASC, DENSE )
* MAX ( Plan[Index 1] ),
,
ASC,
DENSE
)
but because I dont have unique names or dates I can get a unique number for each row.

Instead of using DAX I just added the index in query and it worked.

Thanks
