New Column with IF STATEMENT

[PowerBIFreak]

Hi Folks,

I have a table with some columns as below. The print screen below is a table from Power BI. This is perfect if I just want to see each employees' hours on a daily basis. However, I would like to calculate their over time hours. I want to add a column name OT and the formula if it's on Excel, it would be like this:

OT = If("Sum of Hours">8, "Sum of Hours" - 8, "No OT") 

Other words, the 1 to 3 rows with 8 hours, the "OT" column will show "No OT" for the 9 hours will show 1.

How do I do this on Power BI? Do I need to write DAX? or I can do the quick measure? Please help. Thank you.

This is the data source (Table)

@PowerBIFreak 

is this what you want?

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

@PowerBIFreak 

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.😊🙏

pls provide the sample data

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.
