Timesheet reporting and linking on dates
Good morning all, I'm confusing myself and could do with a little guidance please.
I'll start by saying I'm a complete novice on PowerBI and have muddled my way through things up until this point for the last few months. Let me try to explain what I am trying to achieve.
I want to create a timesheet report, which ultimately tell me if people haven't submitted a timesheet for a given day (for the moment I'm ignoring bank holidays).
So I have 4 tables which hold relevant information.
Calendar (which holds my date field)
People (Email address, PersonID)
TimesheetRecords (PersonID, Date, Hours Submitted) [this actually has a project code, but I'm not interested in that, I'm just returning a sum of hours submitted for the day)
So my first step works fine, I have my table build and it shows me date, email and total hours (example data below)..
| Date | Hours | |
| 30/11/2023 | [email protected] | 7.5 |
| 30/11/2023 | [email protected] | 6 |
| 30/11/2023 | [email protected] | 2 |
| 30/11/2023 | [email protected] | 0 |
I now need to link to my 4th table, as you can see, I only have a start & end date, along with hours per day.
Ultimately, what I want to report on is users where the sum of hours on timesheets and vacation hours on a given day is zero (excluding weekends - I'll worry about bank holidays another day).
I've linked my tables in the model, using Calendar.Date to Vacation.StartDate as the active relationship, and an inactive relationship of the Calendar.Date to Vacation.EndDate - but this breaks my results completely.
Could anyone help out a novice and point me in the right direction please?
