Project Online - timephase assignment attribute

Hello All,

 

I have a Power BI connection to MS Project Online.  I have successfully created numerous reports, but am struggling with this one.  I have a MS Project custom column titled "Crew ID" with numerical values (1, 2, 3, 4, etc).  Each assignment has a Crew ID value designated.  This is so that we can see which individuals are affiliated as a crew.  I would like to add a Power BI report which is timephased showing how many crews we have deployed on a weekly basis.  I have created timephased reports of resource 
work, but have been unable to use the distinct count of the crew ID as the table value.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

 

Thanks,

 

Stacey

    Hi Anonymous,

    I am not specific about MS Project Online, you'd better share the sample data and list expected result, so that we can post detailed solution which is close to your requirement.

      Hi v-huizhn-msft,

       

      Here's the structure of my records.  Each project has multiple resources assigned.  Each resource has a "Crew ID" associated and specific Start/Finish dates.

       

      ProjectResouceCrew IDStartFinish
      Project AResource A13/5/20183/16/2018
       Resource B23/5/20183/16/2018
       Resource C33/19/20183/30/2018
      Project BResource D13/12/20183/23/2018
      Project CResource E13/5/20183/30/2018
       Resource F13/5/20183/30/2018
       Resource G23/19/20184/13/2018
       Resource H23/19/20184/13/2018

       

      What I would like to accomplish is a Power BI report which lists each of the projects and a count of how many distinct Crew ID values are associated on a weekly basis.  For the above, it would look like:

       

       3/5/20183/12/20183/19/20183/26/20184/2/20184/9/2018
      Project A2211  
      Project B 11   
      Project C112211

       

      Does this make sense?

       

      Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
