Hi @Anonymous 

 

Try this:

Shift = 
VAR _D = [Day]
VAR _T = [Time ]
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _D
            IN { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday" }
                && _T >= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 7, 15, 00 ) )
                && _T <= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 17, 45, 00 ) ), "Shift A",
        _D
            IN { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday" }
                && _T > TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 00, 00, 01 ) )
                && _T <= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 14, 45, 00 ) ), "Shift B",
        _D
            IN { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday" }
                && _T >= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 18, 45, 00 ) )
                && _T <= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 23, 59, 59 ) ), "Shift B",
        _D
            IN { "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" }
                && _T >= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 7, 15, 00 ) )
                && _T <= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 17, 45, 00 ) ), "Shift C",
        _D
            IN { "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" }
                && _T > TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 00, 00, 01 ) )
                && _T <= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 14, 45, 00 ) ), "Shift D",
        _D
            IN { "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" }
                && _T >= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 18, 45, 00 ) )
                && _T <= TIMEVALUE ( TIME ( 23, 59, 59 ) ), "Shift D"
    )

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not enough information to go on;

please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
4. Relation between your tables

Appreciate your Kudos!!

Hi Thank you for your time to respond. I have data of day and time in same data table with no other table relation. Day is in text format and time is in time format. I want to combine day and time to make 4 diffetent shifts (shift A, shift B, shift C and Shift D) time and days of shifts are specified in my first message. Thanks for your help. I want to see shift wise performance.

This is not the solution to my Problem. Can somebody give me the exact DAX to use in the new Shift Column?
