you can try this to create a column

Column = if(CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Hours]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date],'Table'[Employee]))>8,"OT","NOT OT")

Thank you very much, it works perfect. Now, I want to calculate how many OT hours for each employee. I've tried something like this to create a new column but of course it didn't work.

Drivers' OT = IF('Table'[column]=OT, (SUM('Table'[Hours],ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date],'Table'[Employee]))-8, 0)

For example, Paul has 1 hour OT. How I interpret this is if the Column said OT, then I will add up his total hours for him than minus 8 because anything that is exceed 8 hours is OT; otherwise, 0. So, on my new column that named "Drivers' OT" I will have 1 for Paul. Would you mind to help me with the Dax I had?
I appreciate your time.

    Sorry for the delay. Yours look exactly what I need but when I applied the code to mine, the calculation is totally off. I don't know what happened. Thank you so much for your time.😊🙏
