Display Data by Week day - ie Mon, Tue etc
Hi
I need to sum multple event hours which happen on a given day of the week during a set time period.
For instance, I want to see the sum of events hours over a month in columns Monday, Tuesday, through to Sunday. This is to see the supply or demand on a given day of the week.
How can I sum a these hours by week days?
Any ideas?

Just add a column to your data table, or to your Date table along these lines
Weekday = FORMAT(Dates[Date],"DDDD")
And then just drag that column to the axis of your visual.

In my case this did not work. To correct I removed the table reference:
Day of Week Short Name = FORMAT([Date],"DDD")
Output= Mon, Tue, Wed, etc. - AnonymousNot applicable
This also works as part of the addcolumn query when building the Date Table.
For Example:
Date =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR (DATE(2000,1,1), DATE(2025,12,31)),
"Weekday", FORMAT([Date], "DDDD")
)

Doesn't seem to work for DAX. "Function 'FORMAT' is not allowed as part of calculated DAX expressions on DirectQuery models."
