Gathering Hours Monthly, Need Them at Daily Level for trending

Tables.png

Problem: I am gathering hours by site on a monthly basis. I need to take the monthly hours and break them out to hours per a day.  Once we get hours per a day, I will use formula to calculate rates. The rates need to be able to be trended on the site level.  Current method results in jerky trends on line graph, I want it to smooth out.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I create a sample pbix file(see the attachment) for you, please check if that is what you want.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("dczBDcAgDEPRXXJGwnEKJLMg9l+jVBWnpicfnvznFK1aCZoU8Us99qoBkFVSJKyPBAPPE67tF3my/GYNMTJ8n8G+s+sG", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Month = _t, SiteID = _t, Estimated_WorkHours = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Month", type date}, {"SiteID", Int64.Type}, {"Estimated_WorkHours", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Month", "SiteID"}, {{"Estimated_WorkHours", each List.Sum([Estimated_WorkHours]), type nullable number}}),
 #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Date", each List.Dates([Month], Number.From(Date.EndOfMonth([Month])-[Month])+1, #duration(1, 0, 0, 0))),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Date"),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Custom", "Daily Hours", each [Estimated_WorkHours]/Duration.Days(Date.EndOfMonth([Month])-[Month])+1)
in
    #"Added Custom1"
