Hi @ABC11 ,

 

Thanks for the reply from @HotChilli .

 

Calculated columns are calculated row-by-row and Measures are calculated dynamically based on the filter context.

 

This is sample data that I created myself:

Area

User

laborhrs

No need to create calculated columns, your requirement is to get the number of employees by region.

 

Create a measure:

 

measure = 
SUMX(
    'Table',
    DIVIDE(
        'Table'[laborhrs],
        CALCULATE(
            SUM( 'Table'[laborhrs]),
            REMOVEFILTERS('Table'[Area]),
            ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[User])
        )
    )
)

 

 

The page effect is as follows:

The pbix file is attached.

 

I would be grateful if you could provide me with sample data for testing, please remove any sensitive data in advance.

 

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

Hello,

I am trying to get Headcount by area. AS example one employee work 10hrs a day in two different (5hrs each) area then each area should show 0.5 as headcount. below measure show me total hrs for a day.

I have column laborhrs that show hrs by area.  if below measure can be convert to column then I can divide 

DIVIDE(Query1[LABORHRS],Query1[Total HRS]) but currently I have in measure so I can't get divide and not getting total and grandtotal

Total Hrs =
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Query1[LABORHRS]),
    REMOVEFILTERS(Query1[AREA_NEW]))
