Aggregating Quick Measures

[rachaelwalker]

I created a quick measure to show the sum of business workdays between two dates. In another visual, I want to show the average of workdays per project manager, however; it does not give me an option to summarize averages. Also, the total row is giving me a zero and not the sum. I am not sure what I am missing. I am using a date table to calculate business days. My formulas are below. 

Workdays Between - Quick Measure

Workdays Between = 
VAR Startday =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Projects'[WarrantyStart] )
VAR Endday =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Projects'[Invoice Sent] )
VAR Daterange =
    DATESBETWEEN ( Query2[Date], Startday, Endday )
VAR Daterangeworkdays =
    NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN ( Daterange, Query2 )
RETURN
    IF (
        Startday = BLANK (),
        0,
        IF ( Endday = BLANK (), 0, SUMX ( Daterangeworkdays, Query2[Workday Number] ) )
    )
  
 

Date Table - Query2

Query2 is a date table. It uses conditionals columns that references Query1. 

let
    Source = Query1(#date(2019, 1, 1), #date(2025, 12, 31), 10),
    #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Workday", each if [DayOfWeekName] = "Sunday" then 0 else if [DayOfWeekName] = "Saturday" then "0" else 1, type any),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Conditional Column",{{"Workday", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Workday", "Workday Number"}}),
    #"Inserted Is Odd" = Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "Workday", each Number.IsOdd([Workday Number]), type logical)
in
    #"Inserted Is Odd"

Query1

let fnDateTable = (StartDate as date, EndDate as date, FYStartMonth as number) as table =>
  let
    DayCount = Duration.Days(Duration.From(EndDate - StartDate)),
    Source = List.Dates(StartDate,DayCount,#duration(1,0,0,0)),
    TableFromList = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),   
    ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(TableFromList,{{"Column1", type date}}),
    RenamedColumns = Table.RenameColumns(ChangedType,{{"Column1", "Date"}}),
    InsertYear = Table.AddColumn(RenamedColumns, "Year", each Date.Year([Date]),type text),
    InsertYearNumber = Table.AddColumn(RenamedColumns, "YearNumber", each Date.Year([Date])),
    InsertQuarter = Table.AddColumn(InsertYear, "QuarterOfYear", each Date.QuarterOfYear([Date])),
    InsertMonth = Table.AddColumn(InsertQuarter, "MonthOfYear", each Date.Month([Date]), type text),
    InsertDay = Table.AddColumn(InsertMonth, "DayOfMonth", each Date.Day([Date])),
    InsertDayInt = Table.AddColumn(InsertDay, "DateInt", each [Year] * 10000 + [MonthOfYear] * 100 + [DayOfMonth]),
    InsertMonthName = Table.AddColumn(InsertDayInt, "MonthName", each Date.ToText([Date], "MMMM"), type text),
    InsertCalendarMonth = Table.AddColumn(InsertMonthName, "MonthInCalendar", each (try(Text.Range([MonthName],0,3)) otherwise [MonthName]) & " " & Number.ToText([Year])),
    InsertCalendarQtr = Table.AddColumn(InsertCalendarMonth, "QuarterInCalendar", each "Q" & Number.ToText([QuarterOfYear]) & " " & Number.ToText([Year])),
    InsertDayWeek = Table.AddColumn(InsertCalendarQtr, "DayInWeek", each Date.DayOfWeek([Date])),
    InsertDayName = Table.AddColumn(InsertDayWeek, "DayOfWeekName", each Date.ToText([Date], "dddd"), type text),
    InsertWeekEnding = Table.AddColumn(InsertDayName, "WeekEnding", each Date.EndOfWeek([Date]), type date),
    InsertWeekNumber= Table.AddColumn(InsertWeekEnding, "Week Number", each Date.WeekOfYear([Date])),
    InsertMonthnYear = Table.AddColumn(InsertWeekNumber,"MonthnYear", each [Year] * 10000 + [MonthOfYear] * 100),
    InsertQuarternYear = Table.AddColumn(InsertMonthnYear,"QuarternYear", each [Year] * 10000 + [QuarterOfYear] * 100),
    ChangedType1 = Table.TransformColumnTypes(InsertQuarternYear,{{"QuarternYear", Int64.Type},{"Week Number", Int64.Type},{"Year", type text},{"MonthnYear", Int64.Type}, {"DateInt", Int64.Type}, {"DayOfMonth", Int64.Type}, {"MonthOfYear", Int64.Type}, {"QuarterOfYear", Int64.Type}, {"MonthInCalendar", type text}, {"QuarterInCalendar", type text}, {"DayInWeek", Int64.Type}}),
    InsertShortYear = Table.AddColumn(ChangedType1, "ShortYear", each Text.End(Text.From([Year]), 2), type text),
    AddFY = Table.AddColumn(InsertShortYear, "FY", each "FY"&(if [MonthOfYear]>=FYStartMonth then Text.From(Number.From([ShortYear])+1) else [ShortYear]))
in
    AddFY

Hi @rachaelwalker ,

It seems the total value can't be calculated correctly, you can refer the methods in the following documentations to resolve it.

Power BI: Totals Incorrect

Summing values for the total

Sum of values in a measure with divide measure

If the above methods can't resolve your problem, please share more sample data or your pbix file. Later we will make troubleshooting on it based on provided information. Thank you.

Best Regards

I believe these solutions would work if my measure was a calculated column. I tried using a calculated column instead, but it is returning all zeros.

Hi @rachaelwalker ,

The data of table visual in your report are all from table "Projects"? Could you please provide some sample data in this table? It is better if you can provide your pbix file. Then I can make troubleshooting based on your report file, it will be very helpful to find the root cause of problem. Thank you.

Best Regards

Hi @rachaelwalker ，

Please try to update the existed calculated column "Warranty to Sent Invoice" as below to get the working days between two days:

Warranty to Sent Invoice =
IF (
    ISBLANK ( 'Projects'[WarrantyStart] ) || ISBLANK ( 'Projects'[Invoice Sent] ),
    0,
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'Query2' ),
        FILTER ( 'Query2', WEEKDAY ( 'Query2'[Date], 2 ) < 6 ),
        DATESBETWEEN (
            'Query2'[Date],
            'Projects'[WarrantyStart],
            Projects[Invoice Sent]
        )
    )
)

Best Regards
