Hi, I have a problem that I cant find works hour and break hour in my data. I only found this line:
| FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR |
Now I might think that this line can get the works hour and breaks hour but i dont know how to solve it.
2. Either can or cannot, can i separate this line to Monday, Tuesday,..., Sunday?
Hi, @WinYit,
you have not provided much context here, but assuming you are working in power bi desktop in import mode, you can solve this with power query.
Find the transform button:

If this post helps, then please consider Accepting it as the solution. Kudos are nice too.
Split the sting first by semi-colon, then by comma:
Then play around with the pivot-functions to change the columns to rows
I think its cant help me. I have two questions.
1. can I get work hour and break hour from the recurrence pattern: FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR
2. can I get Day(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,Sunday) from the recurrence pattern:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR
This is the work hour and break hour that i need
If this is the data you have:
|
FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR |
you obviously cannot get work hours and break hours directly from this, as it does not contain any information about this.
If you can assume a fixed number of hours each day, you can use the method I described, using power query, and adding a few steps to calculate the number of hours.
