Percentage of time durations out of total time of a selected month in a Pie Chart

Hi,

 

You can say I am new to Power BI.

I have the following table which contains a startDate and endDate of car usage. I have calculated the durations in HOURS in a new column "Duration_Hours" using the formula:   DATEDIFF(Car_Usage[Start_Time]; Car_Usage[End_Time];HOUR).

 

2018_02_14_12_35_54_CAR_USAGE_DASH_Power_BI_Desktop.jpg

 

 

I want to plot a Pie Chart showing the percentage of total hours of durations out of total hours of a selected month.

So for example, if I select "January 2018" in a filter I would get the usage hours in January out of 744 hours (hours of January = 31 * 24).

 

How can I do this?

 

Thanks

I'm thinking that the tricky part here is for usage that spans months, correct? Is that what you are concerned about?

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

I am trying to find a way to link  a calendar to my durations (For example, a calendar starting from 01/01/2018 and ending on the maximum date in my table), so that when I filter by month I get the durations inside this month and I view a pie chart of, for example: 40% usage out of total month's hours. I am finding difficulty linking durations to time filter.
