Terrible at filtering.

So we have a workflow for engineers where they document their time against an opportunity, that once sold gets turned into a project, that they may then again document their time against. I'm trying to make a simple sold hours vs actual (opportunity hours + project hours) chart.

Our opportunity table is:

OppNo, ProjectNo

Our timebill table is:

UserId, Opportunity#, Project#, Time billed

The problem I feel I am running into is we have data in this table that looks like this:

james, (blank) , 12345, 3

Jim, 42453, (blank) 5

I tried to do a measure of calculate(sum(timebilled),project#=blank)) to only summerize the ones with opportunity listed but it isn't working. What is the correct forumula for this?

Hi,

You only want to sum up the hours where there is a blank in the Opportunity# column.  Try this

=CALCULATE(SUM(Data[Time billed]),FILTER(Data,ISBLANK(Data[Opportunity#])))

Does this work?  If not, then share the link from where i can download your PBI file.

Personally I try to avoid blanks/nulls and replace them with a dummy value.

I would also add a conditional column in M(Query Editor) or computed column to Set the Type e.g. Opportunity/Project

You could also then have 2 conditional colums/computed column or measures for Opp Time Billed and Project Time Billed.

They could be aggregated without a filter.
