calculating capacity by staff member

[richardmayo]

Basically, I'm trying to calculate our "capacity" which is a formula of "packets per hour target" multiplied by "hours". I want to see this my staff member but also get an accurate total (which is not showing properly in the example)

"Packets per hour target" is in a table along with staffs name (its a fixed number and does not change based on time)

"Hours" is in another table along with staff names and dates (it changes daily)

Both tables have a relationship to another table where the "staff" names and details are

The formula for capacity I have now is 

Capacity = SUM('Productivity'[Labour Hours]) * SUM('Targets'[Packets per Hour])

You can see from the below, the formula is working at the name level, but not the sum.

Add All(Table) as the context, because measure usually looks at the current row. Something like this:

Capacity = SUMX(ALL('Productivity'),'Productivity'[Labour Hours]) * SUMX(ALL('Target'),'Targets'[Packets per Hour])

Hopefully a measure like this will do it.

MCapacity = SUMX(TableH, TableH[Labour Hours] * TableH[Packets per Hour])

No guarantees because I can't see your tables and relationships but you get the idea

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
