Create shift from time

ReyDeSirenas — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 21:47:52 GMT

Hi,

I´ve been trying to figure this out. So basically I want to create a new table named "Shift" with only two values: Shift 1 and Shift 2.

Shift 1 goes from 07:30 to 19:30 and Shift 2 goes from 19:30 to 07:30. These shifts are for all days of the week.

Days of the week are seen as numbers, not text. This is how it looks:

Do you guys have any idea how to do it?

Hi ReyDeSirenas in DAX this is simple to achieve as dates and times work similar to numbers, and you can perform greater than / less than comparisons easily.

This expression as a calculated column (ie, not measure) in the same table as the time element should work.

Shift = "Shift " & If('Days and hours'[Time] >= time(7,30,0) && 'Days and hours'[Time] < time(19,30,0), 1,2)

Result:

HTH
