1️⃣ Clean both sources.
2️⃣ Replace "0:00:00" entries with nulls so empty records wouldn't clutter the #PivotTable.
3️⃣ Build shared employee and calendar tables
4️⃣ Write measures to calculate the variance.

Or you can try driving the chart from #DynamicArrays so it works off worksheet formulas instead of a #PivotTable.
🧭Takeaway: If a PivotChart keeps breaking on refresh, change the foundation instead of fighting the formatting.

During an AKA call, an attendee brought a stubborn #PowerPivot problem: how do you show a single “Total Units” column in your #PivotTable, but show forecasts monthly without either duplicating a #DAX measure every single month, or ending up with a wall of blank columns that have to be hidden? 🧵

How do you show forecasts monthly without duplicating a DAX measure every single month, or ending up with extra blank columns to hide?
Ken Puls’ fix involved two synced PivotTables and a dynamic array HSTACK formula!

Still more thoughts about scalable things: UIs, views, the benefits we get from going from one view to another (micro/macro).

The problem is that this view is like a #PivotTable. It's not immediately visible.
