Resource Utilization by year quarter and month

We have a model where projects, resource time sheets and a time period tables are recorded.

 

Projects table have Project Type and other fields.
Timecard table contains all the timesheets submitted by resources which includes billable and non-billable hours.
Time_period table contains the working days in a month which excludes holidays and weekends. e.g. 23 working days.

 

I am calculating Billable Days as per below measure -

 

Billable_Days =
( CALCULATE
( SUM('Timecard'[Non_Billable_Hours_Submitted__c]),
'Project'[Project Type] <> "Admin", 'Project'[Project Type] <> "Internal"
) / 7.5 +
(SUM('Timecard'[Billable_Hours_Submitted__c]) / 7.5)
)

 

And Utilization is calculated in another measure as -

 

Utilization =
(
( 'Timecard'[Billable_Days] /
( SUM('Time_Period'[Working_Days]) * DISTINCTCOUNT('Timecard'[Resource_Name])
)
) * 100
)

 

The utilization for each Resource is calcuating correctly as seen the screen shot, however, unable to get the average Utilization when Month/Quarter/Year is selected.


For e.g. Utilization for Nov 2021 should be (71+73+72+90)/4 = 76.5 where 4 is distinct count of resource.
For Dec 2021 it should be (61+89+87+83)/4 = 80 where 4 is distinct count of resource.


The average utilization for both months should be (76.5+80)/2 = 78.25 ~ 78

 

Requirement to show the utilization based on Date Slicer selection which can be year/quarter/month.

 

I've tried suggestions form other threads, but issue isn't resolved.

 

Any suggesstions are much appreciated.

@AbhayB Would need sample data posted as text. That said, my book Learn Power BI has Utilization as the central use case and I also included Utilization in DAX Cookbook Recipe 1 of Chapter 8. Chapter 8 is all about project metrics:

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks Greg for the response.

 

Here is the sample data -

User3872021-M122320.001
User4832021-M122319.001

 

Based on the calculations shared initially, the expected utilization should be as per below -

 

User173
User277
User380
User482

 

2021-M1176.50
2021-M12

80.00

 

2 Months78.25

 

This is an example for 2 month period, expected to get the results based on Month Slicer selection and it could a year / quarter / month.
