Hi all,
I am very new to Power BI (loving it thought!) and need some help, either with how I solve this via DAX or any alternative suggestions.
My use case is that I have several project plans which contain a list of project tasks and resources assigned thereto. Much like in MS Project, the resources are a comma separated list of names. I've created a new table in which I combine the project tasks and these resources and that's what I'm building my report on.
I'm looking for a way to gauge capacity of my team based on how often their names appear on the tasks. SOme of the challenges with the data:
I want to show this data in a bar chart. I started by splitting the names into columns by a comma delimenator but I wasn't sure whether I could just do this via Dax on the original column.
My dataset sample essentially looks like this:
Resource.1 | Resource.2 | Resource.3 |
William | John | null |
Sandra | null | null |
John | William | Sandra |
What's the best way to approach this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
In the Query Editor, when splitting the column, expland the Advanced Options traingle and select rows.

Thanks, I needed to take a step back to see the obvious.
You are welcome.
