Calculating Days in a chart

Fri, 21 Feb 2014 17:59:44 GMT

Hi,

I have data as follows

Date	Total Minutes	Min_Booked	Min_Avial
2/10/2014	90	75	15
2/11/2014	90	75	15
2/12/2014	90	60	30

Assuming today is 2/10/2014.

Today there is 15 minutes avialable

Today thru 2/11 there are 30 minutes available.

Today thru 2/12 there are 60 Minutes avialable.

In a chart I would like to report how may days until a total of 45 minutes are avaialbe. In this scenario above, it would be 2 days from today.

The chart would actually want to report the average number of days, by a variety of dimensions, until a total of 45 minutes is available.

I hope this makes sense. Any help would be great. I assume aggr would need to be used multiple times.

How do the dimensions (and selections in those dimensions) influence the available minutes? Do you always calculate from the same fixed date (a date that could be used in the script) or should does a user select a date?

Hey Tim,

Check out the attached file.

This is an just an idea on how to approach the issue. You can tweak it to your needs.

Thanks
