Help with measure - Actual hours worked vs required hours

Hello,

I am trying to calculate each employees percentage of a full-time employee they are working.  By employee, by month, I pull their actual hours worked vs what full-time hours are for that type of employee, and divide to find the percentage of Full-time they are.

 

For example, I have an Anesthetist that worked total 60 hours in April, based off of 2 paychecks.  A full-time Anesthetist should work 80 hours per paycheck, times 2 paychecks, 160 hours.  So 60/160, this person is .375 Full time employee

 

Actual hours is given - Hours paid on Result

Expected Hours per paycheck:  

Expected Hours Per Pay Period = IF('Per Diem Pay Slips'[Job Family]="CL-Anesthetist", 80, IF('Per Diem Pay Slips'[Job Family]="CL-Anesthesiologist", 100, 0))
 
Count of Paychecks:  
Check Count = DISTINCTCOUNT('Per Diem Pay Slips'[Check Date])
 
Expected Hours Total:  
Expected Hours Total = CALCULATE(MIN('Per Diem Pay Slips'[Expected Hours Per Pay Period]) * [Check Count])
 
FTE Status = CALCULATE(DIVIDE(SUM('Per Diem Pay Slips'[Hours Paid on Result]), [Expected Hours Total]))
 
This works on an employee level.  But if I need to see totals, total FTE Status for everybody, I get 0.  See totals at bottom of columns, Expected Hours Total is not summing?  I don't know how to revise my measures.

So, it looked like it was doubling or tripling the FTE Status by Employee (multiplying by number of checks):

So I took Check Date out of the formula and it looks like it's working now:

 

FTE Status = SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Per Diem Pay Slips',
        'Per Diem Pay Slips'[Employee ID]
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        DIVIDE (
            SUM ( 'Per Diem Pay Slips'[Hours Paid on Result] ),
            [Expected Hours Total]
        )
    )
)

You need to iterate over a summary table using the same columns as in the table visual, e.g.

Expected Hours Total =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Per Diem Pay Slips',
        'Per Diem Pay Slips'[Employee ID],
        'Per Diem Pay Slips'[Check date]
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Per Diem Pay Slips'[Expected Hours Per Pay Period] ) * [Check Count]
    )
)

Wow, thank you so much, that worked.  But now the FTE Status is not summing, do I have to do something similar?

 

FTE Status = CALCULATE(DIVIDE(SUM('Per Diem Pay Slips'[Hours Paid on Result]), [Expected Hours Total]))

Yes, its the same pattern

FTE Status =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Per Diem Pay Slips',
        'Per Diem Pay Slips'[Employee ID],
        'Per Diem Pay Slips'[Check date]
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        DIVIDE (
            SUM ( 'Per Diem Pay Slips'[Hours Paid on Result] ),
            [Expected Hours Total]
        )
    )
)
