Hi all,

I have data on absences in the following format:

Absence Start DateAbsence End DateTotal DaysTotal Hours
01/05/202106/05/2021624
16/05/202103/06/20211890
18/06/202124/06/2021728
14/04/202112/07/202190540
19/06/202101/07/20211391

I need to deliver a column chart that has the sum of absence hours in each month. Because absences can go over multiple months, I need to create a measure to allocate the absence hours to the correct days within the range. For example:

Absence 14/04/2021 to 12/07/2021 is 90 days and 540 hours which is 6 hours per day - 17 days of the absence are in April so 17 * 6 = 102 hours in April, 31 days of the absence are in May so 31 * 6 = 186 hours in May, 30 days of the absence are in June so 30 * 6 = 180 hours in June, and 12 days of the absence are in July so 12 * 6 = 72 hours of the absence in July.

I have been trying to use GENERATE and SUMMARIZE in a measure along with the absence table and a calendar table, but cannot get the desire result.

Is anyone able to help?

Thank you,

Hello,

I'm having some trouble understanding what you're looking for. Can you please post what the results should look like from your example?
