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.
