Total Hours Total not working as expected
I am creating a metrics report for billable time and am trying to calculate the target billable time a team member needs to hit their target.
I have created a measure that works out the available working hours in the month:
The issue I have is when I then try to work out the target hours they need to hit to achieve their KPI utilisation target
Available time2 = 'Int Targets'[Available Working Hours] /100 * 'Int Resources'[KPI]
The KPI target is stored in another resource table.
I am quite new to DAX/Powerbi so any help would be appreciated 😁

Gartski83 Two ways to potentially solve the issue. One, you could potentially make your relationship between Int Targets and Int Resources have a direction of Both. The second solution would be to use LOOKUPVALUE or MAXX(FILTER(...),...) to lookup your KPI Target in Int Resources.
Thanks for the response i was looking at your book on Amazon yesterday.
I have tried changing the direction to both with no joy 😞
I tried a measure for this as well which gives me the correct answer for a resource but the total appears to be way out
Hours Target = 'Int Targets'[Available Working Hours] /100 * 'Int Resources'[KPI]I am not sure my DAX skills would stretch to LOOKUPVALUE formulas yet- Greg_Deckler

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
