Hello,
I have a problem where I have billable hours and available hours by employee and project. Every record has 8 hours available built into it. The issue comes into play when a single employee works on multiple projects in a single day. Since there is a value of 8 available hours in each record, when an employee shows up more than once in a single day (under multiple projects) this causes available hours to be inflated (8 * however many times the employee shows up in single day). I am looking to create a measure to take the min value for each date for each employee. This way, I can sum the billable hours against a constant 8 hours available and get a correct utilization measure. I want this to work both at the individual employee level, but also aggregate correctly when looking at the dataset in it's entirety. I can't seem to attach a workbook as a new user but here is a link to the workbook in google drive. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi,
you could create a date table and use something like the below to create a measure of the number of hours per day:
Appreciate the idea. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this accounts for the individual employee aspect of this. This will give me a total value of 8 available hours for the entire org each day.
Apologies, try this measure=
