    First, to answer your question:

    To calculate those fileds was a multistep process. First I had to create a column for the number of workdays in the date range:

    Net Work Days = CALCULATE(SUM(Dates[IsWorkday]),
    DATESBETWEEN(Dates[Date],
    RPAssignment[StartDate],
    RPAssignment[EndDate] )
    )
    Then Daily Hours
    Daily Hours = [PlannedLaborHrs]/[Net Work Days]
    Then Weekly Hours
    Weekly Hours = [Daily Hours]*7
     
    Second, I found a long, tedious, round-about way to accomplish what i want. Then it turned out it's not what the client wanted. So i am marking this solved.
