Feedback/Help on my first PowerBI Dashboard

[ErikaVstudent]

Hey everyone,

I've been grappling with my PowerBI project for the past three days and I'm hoping someone here can lend a hand. I'm sure the solution is right under my nose, but I can't seem to find it.

Here's the challenge: I want to display two different donut graphs on my dashboard. One should represent actuals, totaling about $7,088.37 with a staff count of 33. The other should compare this with budgeted figures.

However, I'm stuck on limiting the number of employees in the budget and link datasets to match the 33 employees in the actuals dataset (currently, it's showing 260 employees).

Essentially, I want users to select a labor category from the budget, then choose the rate level, and have the dashboard update to reflect the new amount based on actual hours. This way, they can compare the selected amount with the original figure from the actuals.

The issue lies in the fact that the budget and link datasets contain more information than the actuals, and I'm not sure how to filter them down to match the employee count in the actuals dataset.

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi @ErikaVstudent ,

To ensure that the Budget table matches the 33 employees in the Actuals table, you need to apply Filter to the Budget table.

Figure out the conditions generated for the 33 employees in the Actuals table and then apply the same conditions to the Budget table.

Now you can move on to creating donut graphs.

To allow the user to select Labor Category from the Budget table and select rate level, you can create a Slicer using Labor Category and rate level and then make the selection.
