    is this what you want?

     

    Column 2 = if('Table'[Column]="OT", CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Hours]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date],'Table'[Employee]))-8,0)

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.😊🙏

        Good morning Ryan. Thank you very much for following up. I think I don't need further assistance because the report that I downloaded did indicate the OT hours for each employee outside of the normal hours. That way, I can just filter them out when I did the report. Thank you again for your help. Have a great day.
