Need Help with weekday hours calculation

Hi,

 

I have the following DAX calcuation to calculate the number of weekdays it takes from when something is submitted and a status is updated:

 

Response Time = IF(ISBLANK('Response Table'[Status Date])||ISBLANK('Response Table'[Submitted Date]),BLANK(),SWITCH (
TRUE (),
'Response Table'[Submitted Date] <'Response Table'[Status Date] , CALCULATE(SUM('Date'[IsWorkDay]),DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],'Response Table'[Submitted Date],'Response Table'[Status Date] )),
'Response Table'[Submitted Date] > 'Response Table'[Status Date],CALCULATE(SUM('Date'[IsWorkDay]),DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],'Response Table'[Status Date],'Response Table'[Submitted Date] )) * -1,
0
))

 

This is the calculaton I have for the referenced ISWorkDay in my Dates table

IsWorkDay = SWITCH(WEEKDAY('Date'[Date]),1,0,7,0,1)

 

Both of these are working great calculating the response time in weekdays.  I need to get the same calculation for hours instead of days. and have not been able to get that to work.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

Judie

If the "calculation for hours" means you want to achieve the workday hours, suppose everyday work hour is 8h, simply multiply 8 in after the calculate statement.

Response Time =
IF (
    ISBLANK ( 'Response Table'[Status Date] )
        || ISBLANK ( 'Response Table'[Submitted Date] ),
    BLANK (),
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        'Response Table'[Submitted Date] < 'Response Table'[Status Date], CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Date'[IsWorkDay] ),
            DATESBETWEEN (
                'Date'[Date],
                'Response Table'[Submitted Date],
                'Response Table'[Status Date]
            )
        )
            * 8,
        'Response Table'[Submitted Date] > 'Response Table'[Status Date], CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Date'[IsWorkDay] ),
            DATESBETWEEN (
                'Date'[Date],
                'Response Table'[Status Date],
                'Response Table'[Submitted Date]
            )
        )
            * -8,
        0
    )
)

If this is not you want, please share more details about requirement.
