Duplicate values removed from sum

Need your help BI wizards. I have a report for which an employees hours worked appear next to the associated date. This report also shows services rendered. So here's the rub. For a day like November 1st rob worked 8 hours. However, there may be multiple rows for November first because there were 3 separate services rendered. So... Instead of showing just 8 hours worked in the sum it shows 24. I need to calculate the sum of hours worked for that day without the duplicate / redundant rows adding

11/1/2017 service a 8
11/1/2017 service b 8
11/1/2017 service c 8

date service count hours worked
11/1/2017 3 8

@Robmartinshp,

 

You may just change the aggregation to Count and Maximum.

I created a calculated field in tableau that did the job.  Just have to do it in BI.  Below is my tableau field

{ FIXED [Date of Service], [Provider Name]:MIN([Hours])}

Yeah, I got that far.  The max works but only for a day.  For example 1 doctor on 1 day works just fine.  BUT.... if you then slice for a team of doctors and / or a range of dates where a max value in the column would then have to sum, you still just get the highest max value 😞   Here is an example
