Project staff planning - find employees who's FTE is more than 1.0

Hi there,

 

I've been struggling with this for a while so hopefully someone can help me.  I'm working on a project staffing dashboard who's source is a Sharepoint site. We staff in FTE values (1.0, 0.5, etc.) rather than hours. Our team works on multiple projects at a time, sometimes for years, other times for just a few weeks or months.  We'd like to get visibility into which employees are overallocated for any particular month.

 

I can't seem to figure out a way to "sum" or "count" the FTE values per user, per project over time. I don't want a total of 30 for someone who is allocated at 1.0 for the month of November (30 days) and 31 for the month of December (31 days). I just want it to be 1.0. See below for what I DON't want:2023-11-01 16_09_39-Untitled - Power BI Desktop (May 2023).png

Here is a table of my mock data:

Employee NameProjectFTEStart DateEnd Date
JohnProject A1.01-Nov-2331-Jan-24
JohnProject B0.51-Mar-2431-Dec-24
JaneProject A0.51-Nov-2331-Mar-24
JaneProject B0.515-Feb-2431-Jul-24
JaneProject C0.81-Jun-2431-Dec-24
BobProject A1.01-Nov-2313-Dec-24
BobProject D0.21-Jun-2415-Aug-24

 

I have a separate Date table in Powerbi and have transformed the main table to show a row for every date between the Start and End dates for each of the data rows above.

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Sheila
