    1. Create a TimeTable as below

     

     

    TimeTable = 
    GENERATESERIES(
        TIME(0,0,0), 
        TIME(23,59,0), 
        TIME(0,15,0)   
        )

     

     

    2. Loaded the data into Power Query and extracted time as separate columns

    You can do this using the Time Dropdown in Power Query Editor

    3. Created the below DAX

     

     

    ConcurrentSignIns = 
VAR CurrentTime = SELECTEDVALUE(TimeTable[Time])
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[LogInTime] <= CurrentTime &&
'Table'[LogOutTime] >= CurrentTime
)
)

     

     

    4. You can build a Line Chart, with Time from TimeTable in your X-axis and the ConcurrentSignIns measure on the Y-axis
