PowerBI use of periods

[Anonymous]

Dear all,

I am a newbie in PowerBI and stuck on a challenge. 

I have two datasets about demand and capacity. 

Capacity Dataset has the teams, a period (StartDate, EndDate) and the number of people(FTE) we have during that period.

The Demand Dataset has the Activity, a period for implementation(StartDate, EndDate), the team needed and number of people(FTE) needed from the team.

I would like to create reports on these datasets 

• how many people we have each month from each team
• the demand requirements per month per team
• if the capacity is enough to meet the demand per month

I appreciate your help to solve this.

Hi @Anonymous ，

Based on your description, you can do some steps as follows.

1. Create a calculated column in “Demand” table.

Resource Team =

LOOKUPVALUE (

    'Activity'[Resource Team],

    Activity[Resource Type], [Resourcetype]

)

2. Create two calculated tables.

Question 1 =

VAR x1 =

    GENERATE (

        GENERATESERIES ( 1, 12 ),

        VAR inc = [Value] RETURN ROW ( "date", DATE ( 2021, inc, 1 ) )

    )

RETURN

    FILTER (

        CROSSJOIN ( 'Activity', x1 ),

        [date] >= [StartDate]

            && [date] <= [EndDate]

    )




Question 2 =

VAR x1 =

    GENERATE (

        GENERATESERIES ( 1, 12 ),

        VAR inc = [Value] RETURN ROW ( "date", DATE ( 2021, inc, 1 ) )

    )

RETURN

    FILTER (

        CROSSJOIN ( 'Demand', x1 ),

        [date] >= [StartDate]

            && [date] <= [EndDate]

    )

3. Create a measure.

Measure =

var x1 =

SUMX (

    FILTER (

        ALL ( 'Question 1' ),

        [date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Question 1'[date] )

            && [Resource Team] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Question 1'[Resource Team] )

    ),

    [FTE]

)

var x2 =

COUNTX (

    FILTER (

        ALL ( 'Question 2' ),

        [date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Question 2'[date] )

            && [Resource Team] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Question 2'[Resource Team] )

    ),

    [Demand Title]

)

return

IF(x1>=x2,"Yes","No")

4. Create some matrices.

Result:

Hope that's what you were looking for.

Both tables need to be joined twice with date table
