Sum Hours with a Group By date in a Column/Measure
Hi all,
I am trying to create a column/measure that takes a count of orders and divides it by the hours worked by an employee on a given day to get the average order per hour. In the query, I am joining the hours per day on each order, so I think PowerBI is summing those up when I need it to group by date when actually manipulating the data. I cannot aggregate and group by in the query or I lose the ability to export detailed information in PowerBI on each order.
Here is a fake data set of the relevant columns:
| Order | Employee | Date | Hours |
| 1 | James | 6/16/2018 | 5 |
| 2 | James | 6/16/2018 | 5 |
| 3 | James | 6/16/2018 | 5 |
| 4 | James | 6/17/2018 | 6.2 |
| 5 | James | 6/17/2018 | 6.2 |
| 6 | James | 6/17/2018 | 6.2 |
| 7 | James | 6/17/2018 | 6.2 |
| 8 | James | 6/15/2018 | 2 |
| 9 | James | 6/15/2018 | 2 |
| 10 | James | 6/15/2018 | 2 |
| 11 | Sue | 6/1/2018 | 4 |
| 12 | Sue | 6/1/2018 | 4 |
| 13 | Sue | 6/1/2018 | 4 |
| 14 | Sue | 6/1/2018 | 4 |
| 15 | Sue | 6/3/2018 | 3 |
| 16 | Sue | 6/4/2018 | 2 |
| 17 | Sue | 6/5/2018 | 8 |
| 18 | Sue | 6/15/2018 | 4 |
| 19 | Sue | 6/15/2018 | 4 |
| 20 | Sue | 6/15/2018 | 4 |
Here is a table with what is returning in PowerBI and what I want it to show instead:
| Employee | Orders | Hours (WRONG) | Avg per Hour (WRONG) | Hours (Wanted) | Avg per Hour (WANTED) |
| James | 100 | 45.8 | 2.183406114 | 13.2 | 7.575758 |
| Sue | 60 | 41 | 1.463414634 | 21 | 2.857143 |
Here is the DAX for my column: Average Orders Per Hour = DIVIDE(count(Query1[orders]),sum(Query1[hoursworked]))
Appreciate any and all help!

I just threw some numbers in there. Here is a table that matches the quantities in the raw data.
Employee Orders Hours (WRONG) Avg per Hour (WRONG) Hours (Wanted) Avg per Hour (WANTED) James 10 45.8 0.218340611 13.2 0.757576 Sue 10 41 0.243902439 21 0.47619 - AnonymousNot applicable
jfunderburk,
How do you get hours(13.2, 21) based on the sample data you post in the original post? When you create a measure using the DAX you post, you should get expected result.
