Hi, Hoping someone can help me create some measures. I'm new to BI and I'm getting circular dependency errors and not sure how to resolve.
I need to show how much time each user is spending in an application per month. A sample of my data source looks like this. The Usage time represents hours.
User | Date | Usage Time |
A | 1/8/2022 | 1.25 |
A | 1/12/2022 | 1.5 |
A | 2/01/2022 | 2.5 |
A | 2/21/2022 | 4.75 |
B | 1/19/2022 | 3 |
B | 2/12/2022 | 1.25 |
B | 3/12/2022 | 1 |
B | 3/19/2022 | 21.5 |
I tried the following measure and received a circular dependency error:
My expected outcome is:
User | Date | Usage Time |
A | Jan | 2.75 |
A | Feb | 7.25 |
B | Jan | 3 |
B | Feb | 1.25 |
B | Mar | 22.5 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @user900 ,
Please try:
Total Usage = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Usage Time]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[User],'Table'[Date].[Year],'Table'[Date].[Month]))
Status =
var _2022Goal = 20
return IF(CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Usage Time]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[User]))>=_2022Goal,"Complete","Not Complete")
Output:
