daily utilization rate per program
I tried to created a table in power query that addresses program enrollments in range. I'm going to try to use an example that will make more sense. Hotels stays are an easier explaination.
Let's say I have a hotel that holds 50 people max.
- Each check in has an ID associated with it for every person who checks in
- Associated with that ID is a check in date and a check out date (some check outs may be null)
In theory, I would like to be able to create a measure that will aggregate a daily average each month/quarter/year and so on.
My attempt:
I tried to created a separate date table that addressed each checkin and if it is in-range of each date in the reporting period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. Obviously people come and go so I currenlty have over 2 million rows in this calendar. My issue is handeling those with null values because it has created a check out date of December 31, 1899. I don't really think this is the best apporach or if it's better to create some sort of parameter for a reporting period that can filter measurements based on the Calendar date being selected, and the check in and check out date.
In the example below:
If I were looking at 1/13/2020 there would be 4 people in the hotel. The date out doesn't count as a stay as the person is leaving that day, however, If the in and out fall on the same day, it should still count as a one night stay, they just happened to leave early or it was a mistake.
| Check In ID | Date In | Date Out |
| 1 | 1/1/2020 | 1/14/2020 |
| 2 | 1/5/2020 | |
| 3 | 1/12/2020 | 1/17/2020 |
| 4 | 1/2/2020 | 1/15/2020 |
| 5 | 1/20/2020 | 1/20/2020 |
you can try this
create a column
date out 2 = if('Table'[Date In ]='Table'[Date Out],'Table'[Date Out]+1,'Table'[Date Out])then in the date table create another columnColumn =var _date='date'[Date]return CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),'Table'[Date In ]<=_date&&('Table'[date out 2]>_date||ISBLANK('Table'[date out 2])))pls see the attachment below

Or to categorize by the hotels daily average.
