Dynamic Column Calculation Based on Date Slider

[szaman]

Hi, I am fairly new to Power BI and would greatly appreciate it if someone can help me with this business case.

Problem statement seems simple.  I need to calculate total employee cost at any given point in time

• I have a date table from which I created a date slider
• I have a table with employee, their salary, their monthly run rate (which is salary/12). The the date table is linked to the employee table
• I need to calculate the Total Cost = (Date Variance * Monthly Run Rate) /30 days
• Date Variance = Date Selection – Termination Date

I created a new measure for the Date Variance and new measure For the Total Cost that allows the calculation to done at the row level, which is what I want.

However, somehow I am not able to aggreggate the Total Cost.

I tried the same calculation for new column, but that's not working either.

What did I do wrong?

Hi,

Edit your m_totalCost formula to

= if(HASONEVALUE('FTE Tracking'[Masked Employee]),[m_Variance Against Actual]* max('FTE Tracking'[c_Run Rate EUR])/30,SUMX(SUMMARIZE(VALUES('FTE Tracking'[Masked Employee]),[Masked Employee],"ABCD",[m_Variance Against Actual]* max('FTE Tracking'[c_Run Rate EUR])/30),[ABCD]))

Hope this helps.

This works like a charm!!!! I would not have been able to figure this out myself. Thank you very much.
