This should be simple, but taking me way too long to find DAX formula for total hours by employee: I have a table with employee hrs charged to different overhead job numbers. I want to create a percentage in PwrBI table (or Matrix) that is Employee hrs charged to Job A / Total Hrs charged on all jobs by employee. The table columns I'm creating on canvas has Emp#, Job (can be mutliple jobs for a given employee), then Hrs charged to Job, then Total Hrs charged to all jobs, then finally Percent of hrs charged to Job / Total employee hrs. Note: if there are two lines with same job for given employee (e.g. charged same job on different days), power bi context is summing hrs for same job using measure JobHrs = Calculate (Sum(table[Hours]). But I don't know how to get the Total Hrs charged by employee (on all jobsubs) to work in this filter context. Thanks for any suggestions. Jeff
Emp # | Job | Job Hrs | Total Emp Hrs | Percent job/Total |
123 | ABC | 2 | 5 | 40% |
123 | DEF | 3 | 5 | 60% |
345 | GHI | 6 | 6 | 100% |
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous try this
Base Hrs = SUM ( Table[Hrs] )
% of total =
DIviDE ( [Base Hrs], CALCULATE ( [Base Hrs], ALLEXCEPT ( Table, Table[Job Id] ) ) )
