Compute Utilization Based on Data from 2 Tables

Hi PBI Gurus,   I'm pretty new with relationships in PBI and need help on my case.   Scenario:   I have TABLE#1 with details on #TASKS and #HOURS(per task) that can be summarized per month, an...

I have to say your report is pretty complicated. I have only checked the Danil's Utilization Page. And it seems like there exists several issues.

 

First since you are using a slicer (MonthID) to filter the source table. And your UT expression is like:

 

%Utilization_Danil = IF(OR(All_Consolidated[Cluster]="Screens",All_Consolidated[Cluster]="IQ"),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( All_Consolidated[#NewVol] ) ) * CALCULATE ( AVERAGE(All_Consolidated[#NewBM] )
    / ( AVERAGE('Danil''sPodUtilTable'[Workdays]) * AVERAGE('Danil''sPodUtilTable'[Headcount])
* AVERAGE('Danil''sPodUtilTable'[Workhours]) )Danil's Utilization),IF(OR(All_Consolidated[Cluster]="Mapping",All_Consolidated[Cluster]="Reporting"),
CALCULATE ( SUM(All_Consolidated[Total Time]) )
    / ( AVERAGE('Danil''sPodUtilTable'[Workdays]) * AVERAGE('Danil''sPodUtilTable'[Headcount])
* AVERAGE('Danil''sPodUtilTable'[Workhours]) )))

It is wrong to use CALCULATE ( AVERAGE(All_Consolidated[#NewBM] ) to get the Avg All_Consolidated[#NewBM]. You can simly check this detail table:

 

 

As you can see, I have expanded your matrix to a table. There exists 17 rows Reporting on 2018_01. The Sum #BM is 177.99. So its avg should be 10.47. However when using CALCULATE ( AVERAGE(All_Consolidated[#NewBM] ) directly to calculate, the result is 0.97 which is wrong.

 

Then for the issue you are using Average() function to get HeadCount or WorkingHours. You can modify them with expression like CALCULATE(MAX('Danil''sPodUtilTable'[Headcount])).

 

Also, it will be more helpful that if you can share us your desired result for one of your report. So that we can know the right direction.
