Help Urgent|| How to divide hours for a project over start and end dates

‎02-23-2021 01:12 PM
Hello-

I'm trying to figure out how to spread the requested hours for a project over the length of that project with a known start and end date.

Example, I have Project 001, it is 600 hours, and it is a six-month project that is due to release June 2020. 

In this example, Project 001 would add 100 hours to each month from January to June. If Project 002 had 300 hours with the same length and release date, now each month would have 150 hours.

The end goal is to get a forecast of how many hours we expect in each month for all the projects we have to determine the overall capacity demands for the month. So we'd have something like a bar chart that shows the total hours demand for each month based on the projects that will impact that month. 

 

Notes:

1. I have already created a separate date table called "Calendar" with this column 

Calendar = CALENDAR(MIN(report[Estimated Work Start Date]),MAX(report[Estimated Work End Date]))

 

2. Each project can have multiple requested hours (that’s why the same project is listed multiple times)

 

3. I cannot share the data it is sensitive but I have created a sample set below

 

ANY help is VERY appreciated!!

You need a measure that filters your report table based on dates. Something like this.

HoursThisDay =
VAR ThisDay =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( report[HoursPerDay] ),
        report[Estimated Work End Date] >= ThisDay,
        report[Estimated Work Start Date] <= ThisDay
    )

 

Then you can use a stacked column visual or something similar:
