Prompt

I have a number of employees that have a set amount of available hours to work each year.  I need to project out how many hours of work they have left in the year based upon the week number of the year.  I have a dates table that for every day, has the week number of the year.  Based upon the week number of the year, I need to project how much hours they have left to work.  How would I do this in DAX?  How do I also get the total number to sum up all the available hours left correctly? don't I need something like Ifhasonevalue?

Answer

User Input Analysis

The user requests a way to calculate the remaining hours of work an employee has for the year, based on the current week number. The calculation relies on a dates table that contains week numbers for each day, and the sum should be aggregated correctly, potentially using the DAX IFHASONEVALUE() function.

Pseudo Code Creation

Pseudo Code Structure and Explanation

  1. Extract Current Week Number:

    • Determine the current week number using the dates table.
  2. Calculate Remaining Weeks:

    • Calculate the number of weeks remaining in the year from the current week.
  3. Determine Weekly Available Hours:

    • Calculate the weekly available hours for an employee based on their total yearly hours.
  4. Project Remaining Work Hours:

    • Multiply the weekly available hours by the remaining weeks to get the employee’s projected remaining hours for the year.
  5. Aggregate Remaining Hours:

    • Sum up the remaining hours for all employees correctly.

DAX Pseudo Code

1. Define variables:
    - TotalYearlyHours: The total number of hours an employee is expected to work in a year.
    - CurrentWeek: The current week number retrieved from the dates table.
    - TotalWeeksInYear: Typically 52 (or 53 for some years).

2. Calculate WeeklyAvailableHours:
    - WeeklyAvailableHours = TotalYearlyHours / TotalWeeksInYear

3. Calculate RemainingWeeks:
    - RemainingWeeks = TotalWeeksInYear - CurrentWeek

4. Calculate RemainingHoursForEmployee:
    - RemainingHoursForEmployee = WeeklyAvailableHours * RemainingWeeks

5. Aggregate TotalRemainingHours:
    - Use an aggregation function (like SUMX) to sum the remaining hours for all employees:
    - TotalRemainingHours = SUMX(EmployeeTable, RemainingHoursForEmployee)

6. Utilize IFHASONEVALUE for context:
    - IF (HASONEVALUE(Employee[EmployeeID]), RemainingHoursForEmployee, TotalRemainingHours)

DAX Code Example

// Defining required measures
VAR TotalYearlyHours = 2000 // Example value, adjust as needed for your situation
VAR TotalWeeksInYear = 52 // Number of weeks in a typical year
VAR CurrentWeek = MAX(Dates[WeekNumber])

// Calculating weekly available hours
VAR WeeklyAvailableHours = TotalYearlyHours / TotalWeeksInYear

// Calculating remaining weeks
VAR RemainingWeeks = TotalWeeksInYear - CurrentWeek

// Calculating remaining hours for an individual employee
VAR RemainingHoursForEmployee = WeeklyAvailableHours * RemainingWeeks

// Calculating the total remaining hours for all employees
VAR TotalRemainingHours = CALCULATE(
    SUMX(
        EmployeeTable,
        WeeklyAvailableHours * RemainingWeeks
    )
)

// Final Measure considering single vs. multiple employees context
Remaining Hours Left = 
IF(
    HASONEVALUE(Employee[EmployeeID]),
    RemainingHoursForEmployee,
    TotalRemainingHours
)

Focus on Documentation and Communication

  • Define Variables Clearly: Clarify what each variable represents and how it is calculated.
  • Use Descriptive Measure Names: Naming conventions like RemainingHoursForEmployee and TotalRemainingHours help understand their purpose.
  • Employ Conditional Logic: Use IFHASONEVALUE() to handle the context of individual versus multiple employees correctly.

Conclusion

The provided DAX pseudo code and example aim to help calculate the remaining work hours for employees based on the current week number efficiently. The aggregation ensures accurate summation across all employees, leveraging conditional logic to handle individual contexts when necessary.
