Hi @thx ,
I will do one thing, Can please take
Distinct employee or just summarize the separate table
for unique employee code .
post that fix over all 8 hrs per day wise count.
else. you can concatenate the EMP & Date, by the way you can have it unquie count. $25.
Dax.
Test =
VAR _V1 = CONCATENATE ( EMP , DATE)
RETURN
CALCULATE ( SUM ( #hrs), _v1=_v1).
Can you try this way,
Thanks.

hi Gokul,
I want to calculate the sum of $ allowed (per employee). The allowed $ is based on hours worked in that given day.
Jane smith time sheet:
Date | Units(hours) | chargecode
1/1/23 | 5hours | 40001010
1/1/23 | 3hours | 40274990
1/1/23 | 3hours | 72849999
My current issue is, since the employee worked over 10 hours on 1/1/23, employee would be allowed $25 for that day. But since there are 3 rows related to 1/1/23, the allowed is showing $75 (multiplying x #rows).
thank you for your help and assistance.
i think that's what the user is saying. As I am having similar issue.
