SumIf?

Hi folks,

 

Ending for the night with, I hope, a quick question here...

 

I have query1 and query2. 

Query1 has employee, timesheet_day, num_hours fields which hold the total number of hours per day/employee

Query2 has all employees

 

I want to add a column to Query2 that essentially sums num_hours from Query1 within the last week.  I know this will use DateTime.LocalNow().  However, I'm not sure to the syntax of using a SumIf function.

 

Any help would be much appreicated!

@Anonymous , You can have a new column in query 2. Change as per need

New column =
Var _LWS= 'Date'[Date]+-1*WEEKDAY(today(),2)+1 -7 //last week start remove -7 for this week
var _LWE = 'Date'[Date]+ 7-1*WEEKDAY(today(),2) // //last end start remove -7 for this week
return
sumx(filter(query1, query1[Employee] =query2[Employee] && query1[timesheet_day]>=_LWS && query1[timesheet_day]<=_LWE),query1[num_hours])

 

Put you can join your table with employee table and date and can get that data

Again, meant to say so earlier, but thank you both @amitchandak and @mahoneypat!  Used this tip earlier on.  The suggestion of SUMX was exactly what I needed.

Thanks for the tip.  I've been so laser focused on building the tables in M/Power Query, I haven't even begun to start looking into DAX.  I'll give this a lookup in the morning...

This is better done with DAX with a relationship on Employee between the tables, and a relationship to a Date table that has a week column in it.  You can then use a simple SUM() measure with a visual that has Employee, Week, and your measure.

 

If this works for you, please mark it as solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat
