Expand rows into intermediate time values
Hello everyone,
This is what my actual data look like:
| Id | Start Time | End Time |
| 1 | 08:00 | 08:34 |
| 2 | 03:12 | 05:27 |
And this is what I want the table as below:
| Id | Start Time | End Time |
| 1 | 08:00 | 08:34 |
| 2 | 03:12 | 04:00 |
| 2 | 04:00 | 05:00 |
| 2 | 05:00 | 05:27 |
Any help would be great! Thanks.
Hi rajulshah ,
you can do this in the query editor like so:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUTKwsDIwgNDGJkqxOtFKRiCesZUhmDa1MjJXio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Id = _t, #"Start Time" = _t, #"End Time" = _t]), CreateListOfFullHours = Table.AddColumn(Source, "AllFullHours", each { Number.From(Text.BeforeDelimiter([Start Time], ":")) .. Number.From(Text.BeforeDelimiter([End Time], ":")) }), TransformListOfFullHoursAndSkipFirstHour = Table.AddColumn(CreateListOfFullHours, "SkipFirstHour", each List.Transform(List.Skip([AllFullHours]), each Text.PadStart(Text.From(_), 2, "0") & ":00")), CreateNewTable = Table.AddColumn(TransformListOfFullHoursAndSkipFirstHour, "Result", each Table.FromColumns( { {[Start Time]} & [SkipFirstHour], [SkipFirstHour] & {[End Time] } }, { "Start Time", "End Time" } )), Cleanup = Table.RemoveColumns(CreateNewTable,{"Start Time", "End Time", "AllFullHours", "SkipFirstHour"}), #"Expanded Result" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Cleanup, "Result", {"Start Time", "End Time"}, {"Start Time", "End Time"}) in #"Expanded Result"Simply paste this code into the advanced editor and follow the steps.

Create an hourly period table.
Then Create a new table like this. If this give period span correctly , then you can use logic to put correct start and end time for each period.
summarize(filter(table,(table[start]<=min(period[start_period]) || table[end] >=max(period[end_period]))) ,table[start],table[end],period[start_period],period[end_period],table[id])Appreciate your Kudos.
