Hello,

| 1/4/2020 | Sam | 5 | Cat 3 |
| 1/4/2020 | Sam | 5 | Cat 4 |
| 1/4/2020 | Sam | 5 | Cat 5 |
| 1/4/2020 | Sam | 5 | Cat 6 |
| 1/2/2020 | Sam | 7.5 | Cat 3 |

| 1/2/2020 | Sam | 7.5 | Cat 2 |
| 1/3/2020 | Sam | 7.5 | Cat 2 |
Desired Output :
| Output | |
| Name | Total Hours |
| Sam | 20 |
| Cat 1 | 20 |
| Cat 2 | 20 |
| Cat 3 | 20 |
| Cat 4 | 20 |
| Cat 5 | 20 |
| Cat 6 | 20 |
| Cat 7 | 20 |
| Cat 8 | 20 |
| Cat 9 | 20 |
| Cat 10 | 20 |
| Cat 11 | 20 |
| Total | 20 |
Output I am getting (This is incorrect)
| Name | Total Hours |
| Sam | 20 |
| Cat 1 | 20 |
| Cat 2 | 20 |
| Cat 3 | 20 |
| Cat 4 | 5 |
| Cat 5 | 5 |
| Cat 6 | 20 |
| Cat 7 | 7.5 |
| Cat 8 | 7.5 |
| Cat 9 | 7.5 |
| Cat 10 | 7.5 |
| Cat 11 | 7.5 |
| Total | 20 |
The measure that I am looking for should calculate the total no. of hours based on the dates irrespective of task category.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated
Thank you
Pull below measure in your Visual:
SumOfHours=CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Hours]),ALL(Table[Category]))
Start by explaining the logic that gives, say, Cat 7 = 20. There's one line for Cat 7, and it says 7.5.
