Don't. Simple as that - I am constantly trying to disavow people of the notion of "one number per day". RMF is a sampler - you get averaged numbers. (Re-)averaging those over a period like a day renders them effectively meaningless. And that's if you're using the correct metric(s). Don't use the LPAR MVS busy numbers. Period. Go to the Partition Data Report and give those numbers to your boss. Nice graph, simple stacked area graph with the CEC capacity as a big black line at the top. Easy to see (lack of) white space available. If your software doesn't give you this, get rid of it. The RMF Spreadsheet reporter probably does, but it's been too long since I managed to coerce it to behave. Or you can simply export the numbers to LibreOffice Calc and graph it yourself.
