Employee Utilization Per Hour Report

Hello all, 

I have to build report to show employee utilization per hour. 

Example -
User XY is performing task as follows -

Task    StartTime    EndTime 
AB       8:00 am      9:15 am
CD       9:20 am      10:00 am 
EF       10:20 am     11:15 am

Resulting report in PowerBI -

Employee Time bracket Occupied (in mins)Occupied (in hours)
XY8:00 AM - 9:00 AM601 - (60/60)
 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM55 0.916 - (55/60)
 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM40 0.66 - (40/60)
 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM15 0.25 - (15/60)


Here are my tables:

Thank you for your response. Sure, I will make suggested changes in time column. 

Is this sample format good ?

Not yet - Please read up on ISO-8601 format.

 

Here's a graphical representation.  What is the business purpose of bucketing this by hours?

Note:  Most of the events here have zero length so do not get rendered.

First step: bring your date time values into a usable format.  

 

Perhaps surprisingly, "April 11, 2024 at 7:09:38 PM EDT"  is really hard for Power Query to understand. 

 

Much easier with this format (called ISO-8601): "2024-04-11T19:09:38 -04:00"

Next step is pro provide meaningful sample data.  Yours all falls into the same "time bracket"  hour slot.  That's not sufficient to provide you with a good solution proposal.
