Counting Active Processes
I want to create a calculated table or measure or visual which takes in a date and returns the count of the amount of processes which were in progress on that date.
For example:
| Process | start time | end time | time period | Count active | |
| A | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2 | |
| B | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | |
| C | 6 | 9 | 3 | 3 | |
| D | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | |
| E | 4 | 7 | 5 | 5 | |
| F | 2 | 9 | 6 | 4 | |
| G | 5 | 5 | 7 | 4 | |
| H | 5 | 7 | 8 | 2 | |
| 9 | 2 |
I want to turn the data on the left into the data on the right.
This would be easy enought to do in power query, however I need the table on the right to change when a user filters the table on the left.
Any Ideas on how to get this done? It might be possible to create a custom visual to do it, but I'm checking whether there is a better way before I dive into that.
I managed to get this to work how I wanted it to.
the table on the left is named ExampleData.
First I created a table of times from the data:
TimeTable = GENERATESERIES(MIN('ExampleData'[start time]),MAX('ExampleData'[end time]))Then I used the following measure :ActiveProcesses =var MaxTime = MAX('TimeTable'[Value])var MinTime = MIN('TimeTable'[Value])RETURNCALCULATE(COUNT('ExampleData'[Process])+0,MaxTime >= 'ExampleData'[start time],MinTime <= 'ExampleData'[end time])Then I am able to plot 'Timetable'[value] against ActiveProcesses for the desired effect.

Table 2 = SUMMARIZE(GENERATE('Table', GENERATESERIES([start time],[end time],1)),[Value], "count", CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Process])))please again try
