How to extract project delay from database in Power BI

Beyond forecasted dates, you can calculate project delay directly from schedule updates.

Data Source: Use the total float field from the updates query.

Default Behavior: Power BI returns the sum, but that’s not useful for delay.

Correct Approach: Select the minimum value — the lowest float represents the true project delay.

Example: If the minimum float is ‑7, the project is 7 days behind.

Presentation: Add a card visual, rename the title (e.g., Forecasted Delay), and display the "minimum" float.
