Cumulative total/Occupancy help

Hi,

I'm basically trying to figure out an occupancy calculation based on people entering/exiting a club, i'm also wanting this reset at 4am every day when the club closes. Would anyone know how to do this ?

I'm Pretty new to power bi and cant seem to figure it out, thanks 🙂

This looks great.  As for the 4am cutoff - that is easy to do - you can subtract 1/6 from the event_time value to shift the day assignment.

 

Weekday = FORMAT('Table'[event_time]-1/6,"DDDD")
 
You don't need any of the other calculated columns, just sum in_or_out

You may want to add a weekday sort column.

wd = WEEKDAY('Table'[event_time]-1/6,2)

Please provide sample data in usable format (not as a picture) and show the expected outcome.
