Data and Time manipulation

I have a data set as a direct query from a SQL database.

 

This includes a Date time field as shown below: 

MNGoodyear_0-1597138483424.png

 

I would like to use the value as just a date field in in a graph, I have tried changing the format to just date but the x axis still displays the time

 

I also want to group the date time by 15 minute groupings for another graph but unsure how to achieve.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

I followed your instructions and have created a time table, this allows me to allocate a time slot to production. I can then graph this, however what this doesn't show me is the points of zero production.

For example if i plot the below data it will not show 0 for the 30 minute slots between 12:30 and 1:30 and i would like to sum every time slot between 7am and 7 pm and display zero where no production:

You should create a view in SQL that strips out the time
