Hi all,
I am currently creating a dashboard that will display the overall equipment efficiency, basically calculated by taking the downtime in comparison to available time.
However, I would like my available time to be the total hours in the year to the current date instead of just always having the entire year, so that the OEE will not be much lower in the beginning of the year because its being divided by such a large available time.
Is there a way to create a measure that displays a sum of hours for the year that updates every day?

Hi @Anonymous
From your description, I understand that your device runs every day of the year. Now you want to get if you have no value in your data table for that date and you want to return downtime = 0 and available time = 24 for that date. Is it right?
I think you can try to create a date table and calculate the downtime and available time by dax.
Date =
VAR _T =
ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDARAUTO (), "Year", YEAR ( [Date] ) )
VAR _T2 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
_T,
"Downtime",
IF (
[Date] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Date] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Downtime] ),
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] = EARLIER ( [Date] ) )
),
0
),
"Available time",
IF (
[Date] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Date] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Available time] ),
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] = EARLIER ( [Date] ) )
),
24
)
)
RETURN
_T2
Here I use the same sample like before.
Then you can calculate percentage by the code above.

Hi Rico,
Thank you for your response. The calculation you have shared seems correct however my available time is every day of the year due to the available time of the equipment being 24/7, therefore I need the time to update daily by an additional 24 hours even if there is not any downtime on that date.
Are there any functions that have some sort of 'Hours to date' option?

Hi @Anonymous
I think you want to calcualte the percentage by comparing downtime and available time.
My Sample:
Try this code.
Compression Downtime and Availabletime =
VAR _Downtime =
SUMX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
AND ( 'Table'[Year] = MAX ( 'Table'[Year] ), 'Table'[Date] <= TODAY () )
),
'Table'[Downtime]
)
VAR _Availabletime =
SUMX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
AND ( 'Table'[Year] = MAX ( 'Table'[Year] ), 'Table'[Date] <= TODAY () )
),
'Table'[Available time]
)
RETURN
DIVIDE ( _Downtime, _Availabletime )
Result is as below.
