DAX queries for time calculations

Hi, I need assistance with a problem I'm currently facing . Below is the table I'm trying to compare. I have two time columns time-1 and time-2 and wanted to create a table which shows the 

count of  No that were after time-1 ( i tried this by creating a calculated column time2>time 1 but the results are getting displayed in boolean but need a value instead of boolean) ,count of No that were 1hour before time-1 and count of No that were less than 1hr before time-1.  

I have derived the time from time-1 and time-2 so please help me with either datetime column or just time column.

hi @Manaswini94 

try to write three measures like:

after time-1 = 
VAR _table =
ADDCOLUMNS(
  TableName,
  "Diff",
   DATEDIFF(TableName[time-1], TableName[time-2], MINUTE)
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(_table, [Diff]>=60)
)

less than 1hr before time-1 = 
VAR _table =
ADDCOLUMNS(
  TableName,
  "Diff",
   DATEDIFF(TableName[time-1], TableName[time-2], MINUTE)
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(_table, [Diff]<=0&&[Diff]>-60)
)

more than 1hour before time-1 = 
VAR _table =
ADDCOLUMNS(
    TableName,
    "Diff",
    DATEDIFF(TableName[time-1], TableName[time-2], MINUTE)
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(_table, [Diff]<=-60))

 

verified and it worked like:
