I'm still pretty new to PBI. I have Free PBI Desktop v2.100.1182 (64 bit free version Dec 2021) on Windows 10. I use an ODBC driver to connect to a Postgresql database server. I use a Remote Desktop connection to connect to another PC that runs PBI. I share the PBI computer with one other person.
I have a zip file with a PBIX file with sample data here: https://gilsongraphics-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/p/croberts/EcE6N9xyQfFItDLuzIDqMtoBxjAHXhjRkI_lBXkZk4Xe...
The zip file contains two .XLSX files but not the dataset for the department. Do not refresh the data.
I have a matrix. On the left is a department number and name (comes from a new column), and under the [+] sign for each department are the employees. Across the top are the "Short Desc" for payroll types which vary, but for this week are: PMLA, REG (regular time), VAC (Vacation), Jury (Jury duty).
One table is EmpTime with these fields:
Empid
Hours (in decimal format)
Startdate (so I can calculate only payroll hours for a given week at a time)
Payrolltype (which is a number and links to a table "PayrollTypes", which gives me the short name of the payroll type).
Across the type are Hours summed by PayrollType[ShortDesc].
I have searched Microsoft tutorials, youtube videos, and other sites but nothing is really close to the situation I have.
Here is some fake data and what I have so far in a matrix.
I have a PBIX file with fake data available.
Thank you!
Hi @croberts21 ,
Sorry, I'm not sure what you expect. See if this is what you expect
Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(EmpTimeSheet[Total Hours]),FILTER(EmpTimeSheet,EmpTimeSheet[ptype]<>5031))
Best Regards,
Liang

Hello again.
I put your formula into a Measure called PossibleHours. But Power BI won't let me drag PossibleHours to the matrix Columns area. And when I check PossibleHours I get this which is not what I want:
I would only like on instance of PossibleHours on the far right of the matrix.
Here's a new zip file with new PBIX file with supporting Excel files.
I think I should back up. I first want to calculate a column, call it "PossibleHours", with the sum of hours for payrolltypes 9, 5018, 1 and 6 to see if the person gets overtime. PMLA (5031) does not count towards overtime. Here is my matrix now. If "PossibleHours" is > 40 then the person gets overtime pay based on PossibleHours -40.
I looked through documentation about the dax SUM function and it only takes one column. Doc here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/sum-function-dax
My table fields are here.
Thank you for your help. I've done at least 6 tutorials but they are far too simple for my case. And this forum and a search engine are my only sources of tech support.
I have updated my zip file here with the PBIX file and supporting XLSX data sources: https://gilsongraphics-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/p/croberts/EcE6N9xyQfFItDLuzIDqMtoBxjAHXhjRkI_lBXkZk4Xe...
